Germany is bracing itself for a rough winter as soaring energy prices threaten to leave permanent scars on its manufacturing sector, a key engine of its economy

Industrial production fell by 0.8% in August from the month before, according preliminary data released by the country’s statistics office on Friday. Supply chain bottlenecks caused by the coronavirus crisis and the war in Ukraine continue to weigh on producers, the office said. But energy-intensive sectors, which include chemicals, glass and metals producers, fared even worse, slumping by more than 2% from July.

According to a survey last month by the Confederation of European Paper Industries , two-thirds of paper producers on the continent have cut their production, while just over half have temporarily closed. Paper-making needs a lot of energy 24/7 to evaporate large quantities of water. Hakle, a toilet paper manufacturer in Germany, blamed soaring energy and material costs for its insolvency last month.

So all this noise of Sanctions has backfired in a spectular fashion sad.

This story is not true. The amount of Americans who believe Fox is a “news” channel is astounding. Fox said it themselves in court. They are an “entertainment” channel.
