Your deranged, idiotic post has nothing to do with my post that you were replying to.
Just go take your meds and get back to DU which is full of crazy , moronic people like you. You'll be much more comfortable there.

That’s how we do it, is that how Germany does it?

I didn’t blame Trump for a dang thing. I said had the Germans relied on US for gas imports today, they’d be screwed. Are you telling me the US could replace the Russian gas TODAY? Are you serious? Is that Trump’s fault? Of course not. Did I say it was Trump’s fault? Of course not. Sometimes cult of personality followers read slights into comments that aren’t there. If you’re going to attack me, attack me for something I said.

Same reply. Under President Trump, the Germans would be much better off on natural gas if they'd followed President Trump's advise.
Irrespective of that, the Germans would be far better off if they'd switched natural gas suppliers to other sources when President Trump told them to, even if they were not American sources.
I still remember the German delegates to the UN laughing when President Trump gave his speech at the UN strongly suggesting they stopped relying on Russia for their natural gas supplies.

We?

I am not aware of central hot water plants in America

Think cities.

Re-read your own post, regarding President Trump....

“Trump was right but he was also wrong. Trump led the Germans to believe we’d be there to cover what they wouldn’t be getting from Russia. The Germans would have been just as screwed if they had depended on us”.....

So, tell us where Trump was “also wrong”? Trump told the Germans the truth. He didn’t ‘lead them on’.

You’re the last person to speak of ‘cult of personality’. TDS is not an attractive look, for you.

The headline says hot water for public buildings....is this for heating, maybe?

Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s for private buildings, next.

[NohSpinZone]

You’re right. I meant the C-54 Skymasters that flew with the C-47s in the American sorties of the airlift.

[CodeToad]

Seems multifaceted, private restrictions and public building restrictions.

Well, maybe LibWhacker has been smelling his own B.O. :lol:

Yes, it’s for public swimming pools and indoor sports facilities.

Actually, taking cold showers can be healthy. I know people who take one every morning and never seem to catch a cold.

I prefer lukewarm water for the daily shower and plenty of veggies and fruit to fend off any infection.

Just the little sacrifices that must be made to keep Putin from uncovering records in Kiev and spilling the beans about hunter and joes and a host of congress critters prodigal sons malfeasance in the worlds largest money laundromat playground

I’ll bet they already have those.

Take a look at the politicians and *celebrities* who have all trooped to Kiev with their magic PIN card to get their own cut.

Vogue covers and champagne parties. The Opera is on offer.

The grift from the war surpasses whatever various schemes they were running there before.

[reformedliberal]

Does this mean the politicians exempted themselves?

Good catch.

An Austrian prepper I sometimes watch said the fear was of blackouts due to grid overload if everyone used electric heaters/ac at once.

I saw somewhere that increasing US LNG exports to the EU had actually recently surpassed declining Russian piped-gas exports to the EU. (”X” curve forming.) Can that possibly be true?

Granted that Russia’s drop is far greater than the US increase, so there is still a sizable net shortage to the EU, even with other sources ramping up too. And, said LNG imports’ prices are through the roof. Nonetheless, I found the info. remarkable.
