Historical parallels aplenty, but imho this (Soviet) caricature shows it well.
My symphathy is with Ukrainians first, but seen individually each death is a tragedy.

Unfortunately there are many the "patriots" in Europe just waiting to get into power.

Wind and water mills historically were the primary energy source and only slowly lost ther spot to steam/coal over the course of the 19th century and industrial revolution.
![In the 14th century, windmills became popular in Europe; the total number of wind-powered mills is estimated to have been around 200,000 at the peak in 1850, which is close to half of the some 500,000 water wheels.[36] Windmills were applied in regions where there was too little water, where rivers freeze in winter and in flat lands where the flow of the river was too slow to provide the required power.[36] With the coming of the Industrial Revolution, the importance of wind and water as primary industrial energy sources declined, and they were eventually replaced by steam (in steam mills) and internal combustion engines, although windmills continued to be built in large numbers until late in the nineteenth century. More recently, windmills have been preserved for their historic value, in some cases as static exhibits when the antique machinery is too fragile to be put in motion, and other cases as fully working mills

How much differentiation between FRG and GDR was there in Poland?
The West decided on rehabilitating and rearming West Germany after the first Soviet atomic bomb had them reevaluate the defense requirements (unlike after WW1 as this UK poster shows).

Look at the atrocities on the horizon.
Entire vilages were resettled to extend lignite mining and yet NIMBYism prevents smaller wind or solar projects that lack the backing of such a large scale operation.

The divide in South Korea is indeed way worse than elsewhere and the change in political stance for men is much more pronounced.

Even if European and American producers can "defend" their home markets (i.e. via tariffs), they'll really struggle with exports to the rest of the world.

First time I've hear of it but it was supposedly aimed at the European market.
However "in 2023, the MG4 is the second best-selling EV in the United Kingdom" and the 2nd Gen only started preorders a little more than 3 weeks ago, so could be a dip due to model change.

I'll have to wait until CleanTechnica releases their next update, but in June, the two most sold models where Teslas with the BYD Seal in place 5.
In aggregate (Jan-Jun) and adding up models/brands VW group still lead with 27.8% of all EVs sold in Europe.
