When was Germany, a historically industrialized economy, at the zenith of its glory... the answer is when it possessed cheap energy.
Industries are primarily energy-intensive, including even emerging technologies, such as data centers.
Data centers currently consume approximately 1.5% of global electricity (around 415 TWh annually), with costs exhibiting wide variations (from 44 to 149 million euros per year for a 100 MW facility in Europe).
For an economy to sustain a dynamic industry, it requires investments and cheap energy...
Today, the fundamental global issue is cheap energy...
Through disinformation and propaganda mechanisms, some in the West mistakenly claim that Vladimir Putin's Russia and Iran bear responsibility for the soaring prices of crude oil and fuels more broadly.
Yet examining the truth reveals that Russia did not cut off the supply of petroleum and natural gas to Europe; on the contrary, Europe refuses to continue purchases of inexpensive Russian fuels and opts for high-cost alternatives, such as LNG from the US.
Recall also that in the case of Iran, prior to the war triggered by Israel and the US, the Strait of Hormuz remained open, with 120 vessels transiting daily.
Responsibility for the closure of the Strait of Hormuz does not rest with Iran, but with the aggressive and demonstrably failed military campaigns launched by the fanatics governing Israel...
Cheap Russian oil brings social prosperity, let us take it; that is the raw truth, and let us accept it...
Israel is an adversary of Greek interests
A paradox exposes Western foreign policy so blatantly and visibly that any reasonable observer can draw conclusions.
In the West... they blame Russia for invading Ukraine, but justify the military incursions of Israel across three sovereign territories and likewise justify war against a fourth nation.
Israel has entered Palestinian territories, struck into Syria, and advanced into southern Lebanon, while unleashing a failed assault against Iran...
How do these narratives align?
They simply do not align.
If Russia is cast as the villain... how can Israel be deemed virtuous?
Greece becomes entrapped by backing the schemes of Israel, a state that since its establishment has not seen a single day of peace and where military law has persisted for decades.
Paradoxically, Turkey is correct: Israel acts as a destabilizing factor rather than a nation of peace... it is a pariah state, the regional bully requiring containment...
Furthermore, talk regarding a Greece–Israel alliance is conventional nonsense.
Israel and its air defense apparatus proved incapable of countering the missiles and drones of Iran; Israeli systems leak from all sides and will offer no defense to Greece.
Moreover, Turkey and Greece are member states of NATO, and despite intermittent tensions among NATO allies, an armed clash cannot erupt...
Everyone operates from a position of safety, and deploying bellicose rhetoric serves domestic audiences rather than bilateral diplomacy...
Even in the Aegean Sea, where tension persists between Greece and Turkey... what is enacted is mere political posturing rather than substance...
Footnote
What wretched hypocrites certain European figures are.
They condemn Nazism while simultaneously aiding Ukraine, where the Azov movement officially embraces Nazi ideology.
Russia, patriotic and Orthodox Christian Russia, stands on the right side of history.
