Reply to comment by choose_an_alt_name in Brazil's Lula cold-shoulders Germany's Scholz on Ukraine support by Available_Hamster_44
OP said, and I'm quoting them here, "every single year several times the death toll of the Ukraine war occurs in South America due to exploitation from the USA and Western Europe".
The combined deaths from the Russian and Ukrainian militaries along with the civilian casualties adds up to nearly a quarter of a million people who have died in the war between Russia and Ukraine.
Which means that in order for it to be true that "several times" the amount of people killed in the Ukrainian war to die from American and European exploitation a minimum of half a million people would have to die from that each and every year.
Minimum of half a million. Every. Single. Year.
That's completely ridiculous and obviously untrue.

>The drugs on the exemption list, which also includes fentanyl and other opioids, remain illegal and the exemption from arrest is only for possession of up to 2.5 grams for personal use.
2.5 grams of fentanyl is considered for personal use? That's enough to kill 1250 people...

Because this is a visit by Scholz and he obviously does not come from a colonizer country in South America? And then moving the goal posts just to have a point?

Reply to comment by Bosco_is_a_prick in Major milestone for EU energy: Wind and solar produced more electricity than gas in 2022 by Zomaarwat
We can easily get rid of coal, that's just stable baseline load.
The tricky part is that gas is currently needed to regulate the variability of renewables, to match to demand. We will need some big advancements and adoption in battery storage to replace gas entirely.
There is a thing called the "duck curve" where Solar drops off shortly before peak usage hours, this leads to massive ramp rates needed as demand increases and solar supply drops off. Currently, we see a lot of Gas units turned on just for their ramp speed, and turned off after an hour, very inefficient.
The EU is also helped by being a larger energy collective, less inefficiencies from having seperate utilities like parts of the US.

Trade with Russia and its known weapons suppliers should be conducted on a whitelist basis. Only firms with clean hands should be welcome.

It's only 100km wide though. Lithuania - Kaliningrad border is almost 3 times longer, and Lithuania - Belarus border is 6.7 times longer.
If war breaks out, and Belarusian / Russian / Soviet troops starts from Grondo to meet up with troops from Kaliningrad, Lithuania (and Estonia / Latvia) would be cut off.

Every French leader seems to try this, and previously, every one eventually was forced to back down?

I suspect western allies are sending Kyiv very clear messages on war planes. The mixed messages are for the other guy.

Sadly that kind of thing relies on a UN security council to work, but it is by design useless because two of the three big permanent members in China and Russia are expansionist dictatorships, and the UN also by design cannot simply kick them out or ignore them to craft a response to any actions they make. They've essentially defacto moved the responsibility for policing world peace to NATO...

Seems kind of idiotic. If you need landmines, especially the anti-tank kind (which won't trigger on foot mobiles), to stop armored advances then so be it. As if HRW has some kind of authority to tell Ukraine how to defend their own territory.
