Proud trans lesbian MΓ©tis boomer I've read that it can get as frozen as -3c in January in Germany (aka a beautiful winter day and maybe a light jacket in Canada).
Refusing to consider things like wearing an extra pair of socks and putting an extra blanket on the bed and just keeping the thermostats at 10c - Krauts are now not entirely convinced that Putin is really that bad and are demanding sanctions against Russia be lifted so they can have access to that sweet and cheap Russian natural gas.
It's going to be very interesting for the drama community as temps continue to fall this year and as Euros realize that their elected Social leaders don't really care as much about their home populations as they believed they would.
One kraut tries to appeal to Reddit's sensibilities :
So when people close to you are starting to get effected by the war, it becomes really hard to be Aragorn fighting the ring wraights, and easier to understand Boromir wanting to keep the ring to save Minas Tirith.
It's ineffective :
but isn't this a terrible metaphor for your sake? You're not seriously advocating for Denethor to have the ring... are you?

Again, this shit could've been avoided had Krauts not been so heavily against nuclear and decided suckling Russkie gas was a long-term solution to renewables not supplying enough energy

They did it both at orange man and even the black man before him who said the same thing. It's just so fricking dumb they thought they had absolutely nothing to fear for so long

As if the US wasn't pushing their shitty overpriced LNG bullshit to enrich themselves. Germans didn't anticipate that the Kremlin's would be this fricking stupid.

Standing up to the people helping the guy threatening to point nukes at your capital is stupid? When they're dependent on you for important resources?

Russia wasnt the problem, the problem is expecting to stick up for some shubhumans living in a shithole, anything happening to the east of the Oder shouldnt be of concern

The arrogance of these countries is insane. They're acting like Russia cutting them off is this unbelievable act while they wage a proxy war against them.

That's what I find most frustrating about the invasion. All these sanctimonious shitheads going on about how unjust and cruel the war is when they're the ones that enabled it. They fostered the dependency on Russian oil that gave Putin the leverage he needed and now they're crying foul because he isn't playing nice. Motherlover, he already took part of Ukraine in 2014, you had nearly a decade of prior warning about Russia and you still did nothing to wean yourselves off of their oil. Heck, they mocked the guy who warned them over the sheer fricking pettiness of "orange man bad."
Supposedly there's no price too great to pay in the sanctions meant to stop Russia, but none of them could be bothered to consider the consequences of their dependency in the decades prior. Putin knows the leverage he has and he is going to squeeze that oil feed to a trickle in the winter to make Europeans cave.

What leverage? Governments can subsidize their way out of this problem and tax or inflate later. It's basic rationing, and citizens can't really do shit until they start shutting down cities with huge protests.

Right, but there's a difference between "In a difficult spot" (France) and "Up shit creek without a paddle" (Germany).

Except that is not the price french consumers pay and the reason for the high market price is because of delayed repairs due to Covid.
