“P.S. We also don’t eat cats and dogs,” Berlin’s foreign ministry taunts Republican presidential candidate.
Germany’s foreign ministry hit back Wednesday at former U.S. President Donald Trump after he criticized the country’s energy policy at the presidential debate against Vice President Kamala Harris.
Trump slammed Germany in his closing remarks, claiming Berlin regretted its decision to transition to renewable energy.
…
But the German foreign ministry took umbrage at that, blasting Trump in an unusually blunt statement on social media.
“Like it or not: Germany’s energy system is fully operational, with more than 50 percent renewables,” the ministry wrote. “And we are shutting down — not building — coal and nuclear plants. Coal will be off the grid by 2038 at the latest.”
Thats hilarious they’re throwing his own bullshit back at him. Fuck du, Drompf
*Fick dich, Trumpf
*Fick deine Mutter du elender Hurensohn, Trumpf
Scheiße, I knew it was dich plus it looks like dick. But I think his surname was definitely with a “d”. It looked very much like it rhymed with frump-y
You mean most likely Drumpf
*Herr Trumpfelmeisersteineinkuchenbuchen
Hammering > Slamming ??
Where does ‘clapping back’ fit in?
This was a waste of electrons.
Their God-Emperor gave them the holy gospel that Germany is the promised land, of rolling coal F-450s asnd diesel-powered cell phones, you filthy heretics dare question the word of the Emperor?!
Please don’t refer to trump as the god-emperor. The 40k community has a hard enough rejecting idiots with no media literacy without people helping them associate the 40k world with their conservative delusions
God dammit, this is just depressing.
Too late for that. There are some spectacular images of Trump as the king fascist emperor of man out there with no hint of irony. It’s quite something to see how much people don’t get it.
God-Emperor
Pardon, you meant holy and all knowing God-Emperor, Sun Overlord and Reincarnated Jesus, Messias and *checks notes* greatest leader of all time.¹ Please adress him with his proper title you mortal filth!
¹ I wonder where I have heard that one before…
I’ve always grouped gamers into two factions.
Form over function and function over form.
Personally, I prefer low mechanics to great graphics. My friend on the other hand could care less what the graphics look like as long as the mechanics are sound.
I would assume for most gamers since most people aren’t really into dissecting the mechanics of video games like really strong graphics.
Which is why most AAA titles have really good graphics with very simple mechanics. There are of course exceptions to the rule.
Wrong thread, I think.
Wrong thread, but I want to push back anyway. AAA games prioritize graphics because it’s easier to market. Discussing mechanics is complex and opinionated. Saying “we have the most realistic graphics” is easy to showcase and objective. The average gamer isn’t educated on the concepts enough to have a discussion about mechanics, but they would understand good mechanics when they experience it.
However, they often aren’t even presented with the choice. The games with the largest marketing budgets are the bland “realistic” (and uninspired) looking games that don’t do anything new because it’s a risk. The games with a focus on good mechanics generally take more risks and have smaller budgets. Its similar to the problem with Windows VS Linux. The average user thinks they prefer Windows, but they’ve never been presented with the choice. When you buy a computer it comes with Windows, and they never venture further than that. They assume the thing they know must be the best option because they are familiar with it, and the one without marketing isn’t given a chance by those people.
‘and nuclear plants’
The only thing I dislike about the German energy plan
Nuclear power only has to go wrong once so why risk it?
Because in many cases the risks are much more manageable than the risks associated with any meaningful alternatives.
Nuclear power isn’t good nor bad, it’s one of many options, each of which may be suitable in a given circumstance.
The costs of safely decommissioning and dismantling nuclear power plants are immense and are borne by taxpayers. In addition, there are high insurance premiums for operators. Renewable energies, on the other hand, are becoming increasingly affordable and make us less dependent on fossil fuels and their price fluctuations.
The future belongs to renewable energies. With them, we can ensure a safe, clean, and sustainable energy supply for generations to come. Nuclear power is a thing of the past.
Would you like me to combine these options into a single statement, or perhaps focus on a specific aspect of the arguments? For example, we could emphasize the economic benefits of renewable energy, or the environmental impact of nuclear power.

Wikipedia about this sourcePftt. Germany shout stfu about being green when they’re closing nuclear plants, still taking Russian oil and bringing back retired coal plants.
Please read the article before posting!
From the article:
“And we are shutting down — not building — coal and nuclear plants. Coal will be off the grid by 2038 at the latest.”
This isn’t even true. In fact they’re taking taking down wind farms to get more coal. This is just someone trying to get a dunk on Trump, like there aren’t a million other actually true things they could say. Not to mention them resurrecting other coal plants when they’re supposed to be phasing it out.
Read your own sources: they took down one 20 year old wind farm with eight turbines two years ago.
In 2022 there were about 30.000 turbines in germany.
It’s still a bit strange to keep digging for coal and it should stop asap. But your argument isn’t nearly as strong as you make it seem.
still taking Russian oil
That’s a lie
Also: Germany’s coal power production drops to lowest level in 60 years in 2023
Stop with that bullshit
Uh-uh. Yep. Germany isn’t getting any Russian oil at all. No siree.
… importing all the green energy from southern Sweden causing our electricity prices to skyrocket compared to the other three energy regions in Sweden.
We’re not amused.
I’m not sure I follow? According to this chart the import from Sweden to Germany is almost negligible.
Sweden, Finland, Lithuania and Poland all seem to be bigger net importers.
It’s the difference between Germany exporting when prices are low vs importing from us when prices are high. This is a huge problem in Sweden where one of our four electricity regions have almost 10x the price of the others.
