How Bad Europe’s Energy Crisis Is

Even back with the poisoning of Litvinenko, etc.

But tbh even since the 1970s, we know peak oil is coming. Nuclear fission and fusion plus full electrification of industry, transport and homes, and renewable energy investment should be absolutely critical. This is what taxes and governments are for!

Jumping on the US bandwagon so late is a mistake though, given the current situation it'd be best to stay neutral realistically (like Armenia, Georgia, etc.) and use the time to achieve the above. Ideology is nice, but realpolitik keeps the lights on.

Armenia gets 80% of its electricity production from a single nuclear power plant owned and operated by Russia. It also sits in a seismically active area of the world, tbn.

Don't confuse simplistic world views with facts.

Also, I learned something about Armenia today.

This single fact explains most of Armenian politics. Russian wings Armenia like a dog wings its tail.
