The whole world is suffering because of this 2nd Epstein War. Current administration being blackmailed by Israel.


Only the countries that have not yet transitioned to clean energy


And countries that import goods. If you supply chain needs diesel, you're going to be paying more.


In Germany we have had a great influx of electric trucks in the last year


That's all of them.


Maybe this war will change that?


Unless you're ready to give up on a lot of convenience this is just not happening.


Hmm, I think for me personally the only thing I'd need to change is the heating in my apartment and I'm already planning to invest in a heat pump.


For you personally, I'm guessing your lifestyle depends very heavily on everyone in the apartments and buildings around you, and the grocery stores that supply you, and the roads that they move goods over, and the materials they manufacture in order to distribute power and water and collect sewage....so unless all of them have transitioned, I think you're overestimating your resilience to the loss of fossil fuels.


I'd wager 90% of things you own and do wouldn't exist without fossil fuels, including your heat pump and your apartment


Yes, the things that affect your lifestyle w.r.t. oil are contained to just you and your apartment.


Instead of a sarcastic swipe, you could try making an actual argument and tell me how I would personally be affected.


Most clothes, food, medicine, every bit of plastic you own, the tools used to make your heat pump, the rebar in your apartment walls, etc. none of this exists without fossil fuel, or at least not at this price/scale


You are not wrong, but there is no reason to assume that things can't change. A heat pump irrespective of the material it's made of will be better than a gas heater over its life.


> You are not wrong, but there is no reason to assume that things can't change.

No reason to assume that we can change either. 99.99% of progress we enjoy today came from burning non renewable shit, if you think we can change paradigm while keeping all our cheap convenience and technologies I think you're making a bigger bet than I am


Well let's start with goods and services being more expensive?


I think this war has resulted in some speed increases in some changes, e.g. ev adoption, electric trucks. Still lots to do


That's basically all countries


"clean" - only at the point of use! (I'm using the traditional definition of "clean", as in, "not making a mess").


There is no clean energy, we don't know how to build any of the "clean energy" harvestors without using massive amount of fossil fuel.

Making and using a modern solar panel emits up to 44 grams of CO2 equivalent greenhouse gas per kWh over its lifetime as opposed to up to 1000 grams for fossil fuel generators.

That's 20x cleaner.


Sure buddy, now go make me a solar panel without using fossil fuel, including mining, refining, processing, etc.


That's included in the number, buddy. Read the report.

Hopefully more people start realizing this. It's been happening behind the scenes for way too long, but now it's out in the open, they don't care about hiding it anymore.


I thought reduced fossil fuel usage benefits the world.


“In 2025, the global fleet of EVs avoided the consumption of around 1.7 million barrels of oil per day” https://www.iea.org/reports/global-ev-outlook-2026/executive...


Posting it here is also antisemitic...


Those cheap GPS jammers, which sites should I avoid to not buy them by accident?


It's not rocket science to make a GPS jammer. GPS Spoofing is more complex and causes way more damage or chaos. I would seriously avoid touching this subject whatsoever this is the kind of thing that will have the FBI and FCC so far up your ass you will feel it in the back of your eyeballs. On the off chance the feds don't catch you and you cause a serious accident you will be charged with 1st degree murder of how many people were on the aircraft that crashed along with a litany of other federal offences meaning life without parole is basically a guarantee.


Russia to Slovakia is Israel to USA. Puppet state.


Most people talking about Slovakia wouldn't even be able to put it on a map or know what currency they use, but they become instant geo political expert.

They don't even know how to pronounce Fico properly... Give me a break lmao


That is your argument? Omg, the level of it...


Meanwhile Israel is sucking USA empty and they call out Canada for being not "fair".

What a sick people.


Someone has to fund Israel's universal healthcare.

Please switch off Fox News and fetch real world updates. Europe's dependence and weapon system fragmentation is by USA design; Europe has allowed the US to have this advantage as part of the security architecture, alongside other goodwill handed to the US. Europe is rapidly rearming while the American mil. complex is throwing tantrums, but you can't have your cake and eat it too.


Or Madoff, SBF, Weinstein, etc


Land of the free....


Biggest winners are the horrible people leading Israil and people on the Epstein files. Hence the name: 2nd Epstein War.


The source of the evil is in Tel Aviv. To stop this genocide, that should be their prime target.


"So first things first: regardless of how much you contribute to the country, German is a must today if you want to obtain residency and stabilize your life here."

You should look the other way around. The country is contributing to YOU. You are profitting from Germany.
