I have a suggestion for next year’s parade:
Correct, and it wasn’t even made in the Soviet Union:

That’s what tends to happen when you send a parade army into a war it was never meant to fight.
It’s not interesting, it’s simple: Don’t vote for fascists, no matter what. This means AfD and, if by that point, Conservatives are willing to form a coalition with them (I hope not, but Merz scares me), those are impossible to vote for by any decent human being as well.
No need to make excuses.
There is nothing clean about nuclear power:

Just sitting outside, exposed to the elements, changing temperatures and humidity? What a brilliant idea.
There’s a reason we aren’t doing this.
You need suitable locations. That’s the main limitation.
The point is that this type of energy storage is very cheap relative to the amount of power it can store.
If it’s so simple, why did a highly developed nation find no solution for it over the course of decades? There are no perfect containers that don’t leak, there is no perfect storage location that doesn’t have a chance of contaminating groundwater. The real world doesn’t work like that.
The high cost also means that it’ll take away funds that could have otherwise been used on much cheaper renewables. Nuclear energy is a terrible deal.
Yup. A significant amount of the fissile material in Europe used to come out of Russia. France, who is commonly held up as the arch-defender of nuclear power, is now fighting basically colonial wars in Africa for this stuff. There’s a finite amount of it, it’s costly to extract, costly to refine, costly to transport. Even before you’ve generated a single kilowatt of power, you’ve already done a lot of damage to the environment just for the fuel.
You don’t need batteries:

Two people who have never heard of things like these:

This is a solved issue. Absolutely nobody who knows what they are talking about would claim that you can’t run a country on renewables alone.
Hamas is less poplar in Gaza than in the West Bank, so the opposite seems to be the case.
That’s a neat phrase. Did you come up with it?
Israel isn’t a dictatorship. Yes, I know that Netanyahu is trying to erode democracy, but he hasn’t been successful.
Looks like China only sold reproduction antiques to Israel:

Which makes sense. China isn’t producing any weapons systems that Israel would want - they can either make far superior ones themselves, buy them or get them from the US.
Personally, I can’t wait for the next mad dash for Moscow. Pudding got so close.
