It is crystal clear that we are in at least a European war and possibly the beginning of a world war.

At the moment, the hot war is contained within Ukraine. But Russia is also engaged in an economic war with Europe in particular. Putin is attempting to strangle Europe using energy as his economic weapon. Europe is using financial and commercial tools.

Each side has backers: Europe has the US; Russia has China.

If the hot war expands beyond Ukraine, and remains conventional in nature, then historians looking back in future years will give a name to this period. If, however, the hot war is nuclear, no one will look backwards because there won't be anyone to do so.

Unreal. The Germans are decommissioning three nuclear power plants while the war is going on. And firing up their coal stations.

"Amos Hochstein, Biden's coordinator for global energy, was dispatched to Europe yesterday to help coordinate efforts to move away from Russia.

His itinerary includes trips to Paris and Brussels to discuss contingency planning with a US-EU energy task force created back in March, CNN reported.

'This was our biggest fear,' one US official said ahead of the visit.

Among the goals will be persuading Germany to delay the shuttering of its three remaining nuclear power-plants, which are due to come offline at the end of this year, to help ease the transition.

Chancellor Olaf Scholz has so-far ruled out the move - brainchild of predecessor Angela Merkel - and is instead firing up old coal power stations, flying in the face of carbon emissions targets."
