Germany’s Chancellor says America is “humiliated.” The same country that made a disastrous green energy bet, shut down its nuclear plants, has zero energy independence, and relies on the US for nearly all its LNG… is lecturing us about humiliation? Trump was right when he warned we weren’t aligned with Europe.

🚨 BREAKING: Stephen Miller says it PERFECTLY on Europe "A MASTERCLASS in diplomacy, statesmanship in Davos with Trump. His critique of Europe was one of the most important statements ANY president has made about the continent in memory." "Europe has been KILLING itself - killing itself by strangling its energy supply through regulation, making itself reliant on non-functioning green energy and foreign countries." "Europe has been killing itself with regulation. Europe has been killing itself with reckless migration policies." "And Europe has been killing itself for years by not investing in its own militaries, using the United States to subsidize its defense instead of raising its own armies, instead of producing its own capabilities."

ELON: IT’S TOTAL MADNESS FOR GERMANY TO SHUT DOWN ITS NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS “I think it's very important that Germany does not shut down its nuclear power stations. I think this is extremely crazy. I want to be super clear: In my opinion, Germany should not only not shut down the nuclear power plants, it should reopen the ones that were shut down. Those are the fastest ones to restart. It's crazy to shut down nuclear power plants, especially if you're in a place where there's no natural disasters. Maybe, if you're somewhere where there are severe earthquakes or tsunamis or something like that, it's more of a question mark. But if there's no massive natural disaster risk, which Germany does not have, then there's really no danger with nuclear power plants. I can't emphasize enough: Please, do not shut down the nuclear power plants. And please, reopen the ones that have been shut. This is total madness to shut them down, I want to be clear. I would say this is a national security risk. Listen: Playtime is over, okay? Obviously, playtime is over. I think people don't understand: Coal power plants, because of their emissions, cause a certain number of deaths every year. It's far more dangerous than nuclear power plants.” Source: Welt, April 2022

Germany's self-induced energy crisis has to be studied as a case study in how to destroy a leading industrial nation. After Germany phased out its nuclear power plants, it even blew up the cooling towers in an act of self-sabotage. And now, just as the world is facing its biggest energy security crisis in history, Germany has positioned itself in the worst possible position. Those 2 reactors once supplied Germany with: - ~4% of its electricity annually - Nuclear once accounted for almost 30% of Germany's electricity Today, Germany has among the highest electricity prices in the world and is facing rampant deindustrialization. Chancellor Merz acknowledged that the nuclear phaseout was a mistake but said there is nothing to do about it.

Belgium spent more than 20 years dismantling its nuclear power system in the name of 'green ideology.' Dole 3 and Tihange 2 were closed first. Then, in 2025, Belgium permanently shut Dole 1, Tihange 1 and Dole 2. Only Dole 4 and Tihange 3 now survive, rescued with emergency 10-year extensions. The result has been costly. Belgium's net electricity imports climbed to 14 terawatt hours in 2025, mainly from France and the Netherlands. And while domestic nuclear output fell sharply, the two surviving reactors still supplied 34% of Belgian electricity. The supposed replacement is a vast offshore wind project, but that will not be fully available until around 2032. Belgium closed dependable domestic power before its unreliable replacement even existed. The country did not achieve energy independence, as was the goal, it merely dismantled its own generating capacity and imported the shortfall from its neighbors (who use the same source: nuclear) at great cost.

🇩🇪🇮🇷 German Chancellor Merz: “We in Germany and in Europe are suffering considerably from the consequences [of this war]. This has direct effects on our energy supply and massive effects on our economic performance.” Perhaps Germany wouldn’t have an energy crisis on its hands had it not went from 17 nuclear reactors in 2011 to zero today.

Prof. Sachs: Europe has made a huge mistake thinking that somehow the US is its protector. I have tried to explain over the years that the United States is neither a protector nor a friend for Europe, and that Europe needs to have its own independent policy and NOT TO BE, in conflict with Russia or with China, for that matter.

Germany built one of the largest wind and solar fleets on Earth. It dismantled its nuclear power stations and retired its coal, with the promise that green energy would power its future. The country spent billions transitioning. Then winter arrived, and Dunkelflaut hit - the dark windless dead zone. Wind and solar fell to barely 5% of demand. The grid staggered, and Germany was forced to fire up old coal plants it said had closed forever, and import expensive nuclear from France. This is the physics politicians fail to mention, and a point many people still fail to grasp. When the wind dies and the sun sets, renewables disappear. And the only way the grid survives, the only reason countless millions don't freeze to death, is thanks to oil, coal, nuclear and gas.

Europe needs its own Churchill, someone who will say clearly and without indecision and ambiguity: we must unite, we must have our own armed forces, because the security of Europe is, in fact, Europe’s responsibility. Europe should be grateful to President Trump for finally demonstrating that the world is nothing like many politicians imagined it. Europe is mature enough to take responsibility for its own security, including its nuclear security. If Europe wants to remain an actor in the world rather than the object of others’ decisions, it must have strong armed forces, including a nuclear component, and move forward. 📹: PM of Belgium Bart de Wever: I don't believe that Europe as a whole, with its 27 member states, can move towards military unification. But a number of core countries might be able to do so.

Europe imports 80% of the hydrocarbons it consumes and that oil and gas keeps getting more expensive as they unplug from Russian gas and become hostages of the Strait of Hormuz. Germany resisted deindustrialization during the “China Shock” of the early 2000’s in large part due to the ultra cheap Russian pipeline gas that it built its economy around since the 1970’s oil shocks. France electrified its way out of its oil dependence with 54 large reactors built in 20 years. Today’s Europe is short on domestically produced hydrocarbons, refuses to explore for more and has lost the state and industrial capacity to build nuclear effectively. It has somehow convinced itself that deindustrialization and offshoring emissions to Asia was climate heroism. That buying hydrocarbons from elsewhere rather than producing them at home would absolve them from their sins. Will 1970’s energy literate leadership return to Europe? What do you think?

Germany's Chancellor Merz: We all know that security in Europe has fundamentally changed in recent years. It is clear that Russia poses an imminent threat to us. In this time of geopolitical uncertainty and growing security challenges, Germany carries a special responsibility, not only for its own future, but also for the unity of Europe as a whole. We are transforming our army, the Bundeswehr, into the strongest conventional army in Europe.

Demonstrators include students, teachers, journalists, artists, and family members of prisoners of conscience, faced with repression, intimidation and total dismantlement of democracy and human rights in the country. Georgia is closing one of the most brutal years in its recent history for civil society and its citizens. Hundreds have been jailed or subjected to torture. Independent and civil media spaces have been systematically shut down. Fundamental freedoms and human rights have been curtailed and dismantled, pushing the country into isolation and cementing its alignment with Russia. This marks Day 395 of the #GeorgiaProtests.

Maria Zakharova "KILLED" Brussels Bureaucrats 👏👏👏👏👏👏 It is time for Europe to wake up from its 'nightmare dream', Maria Zakharova told a briefing. She recalled that the chairman of the Munich conference, Christoph Heusgen, had called the previous forum "a nightmare dream for Europe". "I would like to ask a question: when will you wake up? When will you in Western Europe wake up from your nightmare dream? But the problem is not the conference, it is Western Europe itself. It has long been in a state where it cannot soberly assess the reality around it," the Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman said. Zakharova stressed that the EU has long been living its invented narratives. For example, instead of improving the welfare of its citizens, it is preparing a conflict with Russia. And instead of solving social and economic problems, it continues to destroy its industry and increase its military budget.

Germany shut down its last nuclear power plants in 2023. That decision removed 4 GW of reliable, low-cost baseload electricity. The plants were operational, they were paid for. And worse still, there was no replacement capacity ready. Germany turned to intermittent wind and solar backed by gas, imports, and emergency coal restarts. The obvious consequences followed. Electricity prices surged, grid reliability weakened, and fossil fuel use actually increased. Chancellor Friedrich Merz has now admitted the shutdown was a strategic mistake, calling Germany's energy transition the most expensive in the world. A reckless bending to extreme green ideology traded reliability and prosperity for optics. Working nuclear plants were destroyed. And for what?
