- _ph_ 4y agoBoth are very unlikely. It has been widely acknowledged that the energy dependency from Russia was a big mistake. And of course, Germany should be on the trajectory to get rid of all fossil fuel usage. So unless the war ends tomorrow (which unfortuantely it won't), there is really no way back. We will also have to see whether this war ends in another nuclear disaster, I have serious concerns it could considering the Russian military actions around the largest nuclear power plant in Europe. This would of course kill nuclear entirely. The region in Bavaria, where I live, is still quite contaminated from Chernobyl, we really don't need more of that stuff.
- theshrike79 4y agoEven if the most rational Russian in the world assassinates Putin and all his cronies tomorrow and every Russian soldier is out of Ukraine and Crimea by next Friday, the damage is already done. No-one will trust Russia (the country, not the people) for a good half century unless they make some really sweeping changes to... well, everything.
