Yeah. The impermeable bedrock that is readily available in Germany. That is why they are searching for a suitable and politically enforceable place since more than 50 years…

Rising water will leach into your drinking water table.

Using hinkley points C 60 billion Euro as reference, replacing Germanys remaining 74 GW of fossil fuels will cost more like 1200 billion euros.

I wonder how the answers would be if following conditions are added:

• The permanent waste storage facility is built within 10 km of your place of living.
• In order to finance the significantly more expensive nuclear power you have to pay an extra income tax of 5% for the next 50 years.
• Between June and September you will not be provided running water, but have to buy bottled water, so cooling capacities for the reactors are insured even in 37°C+ weather.
• During the transition period until the reactors are ready your electricity price is doubled in order to finance importing electricity from other countries, rather than building cheaper renewables.

They probably wont be. But they never lost a war, prior to October 7 thought to have become more or less invincible and believe the US and European allies to put themselves on the chopping block for them indefinitely.

Israel as a society is on a path of escalating Fascism. These always are self destructive in the end, but accompanied by delusions of grandeur up until one step before the end.

It is worded in a confusing way, you are correct. The EU seems to differ between “Sanctions” and “restrictive measures”. But this seems to be more of a word play, as in another case the terms are used interchangeably by the EU Council.

See the timeline they linked under the article

2016 16 January Council lifts all nuclear-related economic and financial EU sanctions

On Implementation Day, the Council lifted all nuclear-related economic and financial EU sanctions against Iran. This follows verification by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) that Iran has implemented the agreed nuclear-related measures as set out in the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

2022 17 October Council maintains restrictive measures after the JCPOA Transition Day

The Council decided to take the necessary steps to maintain the restrictive measures under the EU non-proliferation regime on Iran. The Council concluded that there are valid reasons to refrain from lifting these restrictions on Transition Day (18 October 2023), as originally envisaged under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

As for the reimposed US sanctions in 2018 the EU did extend their Blocking statute to prohibit EU companies from complying with US sanctions, but practically without effect. The proposed clearing house to allow for trade outside the bank system subject to US sanction enforcement never came to life afaik now.

The EU joined in on US sanctions. Initially a mechanism was proposed to trade with direct exchange of goods but never established. Once Iran started to not follow their side of the deal after having had sanctions imposed despite following the agreement, EU countries like Germany shifted blame on Iran. Later renegotiation attempts under Biden failed.

Since Obama left office there has been strong bipartisan motivation in the US to go to war with Iran. Israel has always been salivating at the idea of the US doing the dirt work for them in fighting a long and hard war with Iran while Israel can enjoy the view.

Geopolitical analysts warn that it is foolish to believe to stop Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons by attacking them. On the contrary the policies of escalation by the US and Israel are motivating Iran to pursue nuclear weapons to protect itself from further attacks. If Iran acquiries nuclear weapons, it will lead to a nuclear arms race in the region as Saudi Arabia, UAE, Turkiye and other western allied countries will perceive a nuclear armed Iran as a strategic threat. I would not be surprised if there is some strategists in Israel and the US who have a fever dream of having Arabs, Turks and Persians annihilate each other, so Israel can invade the remains more easily.

In terms of foreign policy the JCPOA agreement was the greatest achievement of Obama. It could have laid the groundwork to deescalate and create long lasting stability in the Region. Something that Israel and the War Hawks in the US (bipartisan) fundamentally oppose. The EU falling in line when Trump broke the agreement has set back European policy by years if not decades and a mayor escalation the West Asia could push Europe over the cliff into full blown Fascism. Again something the Fascists in the US, Israel and possibly Russia are salivating at.

This step is not just for Netanyahu. It is likely also for Putin, who will soon be invitable for Hungary. Netanyahu, Trump and Putin are working towards the extreme right in Europe, and i think that Hungary will take the initiative to help building this Axis.

it is not legally binding, but many government bodies treat it like a law, making it tiring to fight against it in the courts all the time.

Ethnostate refers to them explicitly having written in their constitution that they are a state for ethnic Jews. Any civilized country has a constitution that grants human rights to ebery human and certain civil rights based on citizenship. Israel explicitly is designed as an ethnic supremacy apartheid state.

Sure. So in Islam we believe that God and the creation are seperate. All Prophets (peace be upon them) are humans, who have been given prophethood for their virtuous character. Any powers outside the realm of human capacities were granted by God to aid their mission, but it wasn’t their inherent powers.

For a longer read on this from an Islamic perspective i found this article: https://www.reviewofreligions.org/27744/jesus-son-of-god-historical-context-long-read/

As for the development of the Christian idea that Jesus would be the son of God. This is a Greek/Roman idea that was pushed to dominance around the fourth century. Notable is the Council of Nicae, where it was agreed that the concept of Trinity (with Jesus as son of God and some abstract holy spirit) should be the used. As for the reason why, it is likely that the Trinity was chosen to make Christianity more palatable to Polytheists, despite the rejection of polytheism and embrace of monotheism being fundamental to the Abrahamic religions. This is also why the concept is strongly rejected by Jews and Muslims. However also Nontrinitarian Christians exist to this day.

Jesus also didn’t proclaim himself to be the literal son of God, nor a part of God. That was invented by the churches some 300 years later. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Council_of_Nicaea

Both Judaism and Christianity had their scriptures altered over time, serving political goals of the scholar’s class. This is why Islam puts such a strong focus preserving the Quran exactly as it was revealed.

While i appreciate the whish that Russian nukes don’t work, it would be exceptional for none of their 10.000 or so to work. Even if only 1 in 1.000 work, that is still enough to annihilate some 10-20 million people or so.
