"The Duran": straight pipeline of Russian anti-Ukraine and anti-American propaganda.

You all sound more and more like the communists who sided with North Vietnam every day.

What I want to know is what the other Duran thinks, you know the second Duran in Duran Duran.

Just because The Duran is right 95% of the time DOES NOT mean they’ll be right 96% of the time.

Current stats on German GDP, indebtedness, and industrial production seem fine, rather “meh”, but no impending disaster.

A problem with industrial fuel, if there really is one, is not going to do critical damage. Its just a minor cost (factor of production) in most industrial processes. Indeed, if it were critical the self imposed cost of electricity alone (which the Germans can only blame themselves for ) should have crippled Germany decades ago.

Contrariwise, having lots of cheap energy does very little (in re industrial capabilities) for most countries that have it. As in, for instance, Russia.

There was a time when Germany would have declared war on us over the destruction of that gas pipeline...

Ah, yes! The "good ol' days!"
