This started with Koln, Schroeder, and eventually Merkel, which has a disastrous foreign policy track record.
Corruption is probably at play as well, especially on the closure of the nuclear plants.
Look at France, did manage to keep their plants in good order and now it produces most of their electricity form them.
By the way Putin's Russia［edited from just "Russia", to clarify we're speaking about nowadays' Russia, not Soviet Union］ has killed hundreds if not thousands of children, and has wrenched thousands of them from their parents. Just so you remember.
Unfortunately, a great many number of people in Russia still do not understand the extent of damage that communism has inflicted on the country and its peoples. So basically you may just ignore me while many Russians still approve what was done not only to you but to themselves, but here my condolences go.
Being from Bulgaria, I've met plenty of Russians. We're friends with another family - guy is Russian, and his wife is Ukrainian. Plenty of baggage but the guy had enough self awareness to recognise what was going on nearly a decade ago when the war started.
Also, as a gamer, I am often matched with Russians on a regular basis. 9 out of 10 are the worst team mates ever. While annoying, I feel sorry for these guys because it's clear they are just victims. I can only imagine the hellish environment they have been brought into.
Now I'm afraid my comment came as rather insensitive... my apologies...
I was speaking about Putin's Russia, to clarify.
I think it's fair to get justice for any war crime, and any crime against humanity, be it from Russia or from US. I just honestly feel that the crime bucket of Putin's Russia is fuller than US' one during the same era!
I did not mod down your initial response.
