> to stop their meddling in our elections

Russia doesn't meddle in elections nearly as much as people think. And not because they wouldn't WANT to, but this stuff is expensive and the US Empire already has a near monopoly on it.

While Russia's over here throwing a few bucks at a candidate, the Empire with their FED money tree can afford to outright create candidates - which is why you see so many presidents who were virtually unknown before they ran.

The Empire also had the bright idea to buy out all of the print media companies who had been bankrupted by the internet and use them to pump their candidates and cast everyone else as a "dangerous extremist".

The origin of the Russian interference meme is mostly a story that low level Empire functionaries tell themselves so they can justify running game on pretty much every election in the world.

> Putin has to die painfully

Unlikely. The one calling the shots here is the US (really the Empire), and they don't really care about Russia, their real concern is China. Any threat to Putin creates risk of China taking over Russia which they will never allow. What they really want is to get Russia and China into a war with each other.

If Europe would grow enough geopolitical sense to start making decisions for itself, it wouldn't want to kill Putin either, because Europe wins by playing Russia and the US off against each other to get favors from both sides.

> I am working in a company

Very cool, I'm a fan of new technology in general. If a new technology changes what is the most efficient way to solve a problem, that's a win for everyone. It grows the economy, makes everyone richer, and makes the country more powerful.

The thing I'm noting from the beginning is about using regulation to forbid the most efficient solution to a problem because it makes everyone poorer, shrinks the economy, and makes the country weaker.

If I were a European decision maker, I would go all-in on low cost low complexity small nuclear. Relax regulations, establish exclusion zones around nuclear generation sites so there's a plan in case of an accident, etc. Point would be to push electric cost to lowest in the world, invite in Bitcoin miners, make it known to everyone that we have the power. Industry will follow.

Then the second thing I'd do is drill Polish gas to undercut Russian gas dependence.

Third, I'd invest in oil refining capacity and coal-to-oil conversion in order to become a net exporter of gasoline and diesel AND to drive up the global coal prices to make Chinese BOS steelmaking less profitable and thus pump global demand for European steel.
