Switzerland has undergone an enormous transformation in just a few decades due to immigration. You don’t have to be “xenophobic” to be sceptical of this massive change.
It is not lunacy. Polish professor Krzysztof Meissner (https://www.fuw.edu.pl/~meissner/home.html) in one of the interviews called the whole process of turning off nuclear power plants as result "of the pressure of the other forces".
It was well crafted plan developed by Germany and Russia. According to this plan Germany suppose to be the hub for gas imported from Russia over Baltic Pipe - man in the middle for all UE countries. War on the Ukraine and Baltic Pipe being destroyed by "unknown people" makes this plan obsolete.
If you think that's lunacy, let me add some extra info on top of it: It was the green party that lead the closure, and then replaced it with gas power plants.
This is a common story, that Ukraine has lost control over a vital part of it's country, and that is true.
But so has Russia, they also have lost control over their stuff, stuff that Ukraine are constantly blowing up.
Ukraine now have a capable long range offensive capability which allows them to strike deep into Russia.
Russias vital strategic assets are slowly depleting due to Ukrainian strikes, while Ukraine has better support from the rest of the world and are now in fact cooperating with some powerful nations across the world.
Russia are managing to advance a few square kilometer of territory per month? while losing expensive, hard to replace assets continuously.
What war are you watching? Ukraine are losing minuscule amounts of land to the Russians, who are taking heavy losses, while clearly destroying Russias capacity to wage war.
Ukraine are winning. With more help, they can win faster. We should do everything we can to help them.
> Ukraine are losing minuscule amounts of land to the Russians,
The fact is that they are losing land (albeit at, as you say, a slow pace due to good defence). But as the Ukrainian military has no real ability to launch a counter-offensive against the Russian to take back these lands, it is now effectively Russian territory. They have already lost around 20% of their territory and anyone with some common sense about warfare will tell you that Ukraine has no real hope of ever getting back these territories - Ukraine simply doesn't have enough men or the right weaponry to launch a counter-attack. (Yes, you are right somebody should help Ukraine to win this war - and the only way Ukraine can win this war is if the west send in their soldiers to fight alongside Ukrainians. But they will not do that. That is why Ukraine should surrender, to retain what territory and soldiers it it still has before it loses more of them - everyone of you who is urging Ukrainians to keep fighting the Russians alone, never tells me how much territory and men should Ukraine lose before it decides to pragmatically end the war?)
(Either you are ignorant about these facts, or are just peddling falsehood here when you say "Ukraine is winning the war").
Nowhere near as fun and 10 times as addictive. Although I do love to smoke pot, after all these years, Nikotine was a decade long habbit I wanted to quit for as long but couldn’t.
Although I don’t want to undersell the addictiveness of weed, like many people do, it is still psychologically very easy to form an addiction.
