To Ger-man-y.

“Deliveries currently unaffected.”

Hamburg may be a wild town…

But this is getting out of hand.

Wolf Bites Woman in Altona: Police Capture It at Jungfernstieg – Police captured a wolf in downtown Hamburg on Monday evening. It had previously attacked a woman in Altona.

Great Expectations

“Expect the best, plan for the worst, and prepare to be surprised.”

Rebuild and return: Germany expects 800,000 Syrians to leave before 2030 – Most Syrians, “first and foremost for those who abuse our hospitality”, should return home within three years, said the German Chancellor.

Eighty per cent of the one million Syrians living in Germany should return home before the end of the decade, said Friedrich Merz after receiving Ahmad al-Sharaa, the Syrian President in Berlin today.

Standing alongside Al-Sharaa, the German Chancellor expressed his hopes that some 800,000 Syrians, beginning with those who have abused the asylum system or broken the law, would return to their native land over the next three years.

Why Germany’s anti-AfD firewall is crumbling?

Because the party that needs it as life insurance (the SPD) has fallen into the abyss.

You don’t need life insurance anymore when you’re already dead.

Germany’s so-called “firewall” was designed to prevent the resurgence of antidemocratic ideology and has shaped German politics for decades. Now, mounting voter support for the far-right AfD is exposing cracks.

German of the day: Tempolimit

That means speed limit.

And that ain’t never gonna happen in Germany. Think banning guns in the USA.

Four and a half to six years?

For membership in a foreign terrorist organization and related offenses?

Better than nothing.

Possible targets included the Israeli embassy in Berlin, the US Ramstein airbase and the area around Berlin’s disused Tempelhof airport.

“A rare rebuke of Trump?”

Coming from a German? In Germany?

I’ve never yet heard a German say anything about Donald Trump that wasn’t a rebuke.

German president calls Iran war a disastrous mistake, in rare rebuke of Trump.

This is, by the way, the same German president who went out of his way to celebrate the Iranian revolution – “For a long time, Germany stood firmly by the Iranian regime.”

German of the day: Es gibt solche und solche

That means some are like this, some are like that.

Refugees in Germany, I mean.
