To what extent are the Naderites 'Green Fascists' ?
In actual current events anti-nuclear = Pro-Putin
If there hadn't been the anti-nuclear power parties having power in several European countries, those countries would not have been dependent on Russian gas & Putin would have had less reason to expect NATO to roll over and accept his invasion of Ukraine.
Kaor, Jim!
It's a bit more complicated than that! I think Putin was not EXPECTING the war with Ukraine to last as long as it now has. Nor had he been expecting the Russian army to have performed as badly as it has done. I do agree the Russian dictator is using exports of oil and natural gas to put pressure on NATO, threatening to cut off those exports if they anger him too much. Which is exactly what happened to Poland and another nation.
I also agree that now, under current circumstances, to be anti-nuclear power is to be effectively pro-Putin.
Ad astra! Sean
