For the other half.

And for some odd reason the younger Germans are much less enthusiastic about the idea than older Germans.

Around half of German citizens are in favour of reintroducing compulsory military service, according to a survey by opinion research institute Forsa.

In the poll commissioned by German news magazine Stern, 52% of respondents were in favour of compulsory military service, the magazine said on Tuesday.

Some 43% were against it and 5% expressed no opinion. According to the data, the strongest supporters of compulsory military service were found in the over-60 age group, with 59% in favour. In contrast, 59% of 18 to 29-year-olds were against compulsory military service.

“Life in prison”

Is what this guy deserves. But “life in prison” doesn’t mean “life in prison” in Germany.

It means fifteen (15) years.

A US man is sentenced to life in prison for murder and rape in attack on 2 American women in Germany – An American man was convicted of murder and other charges on Monday for brutally attacking two American women near Germany’s famed Neuschwanstein castle last summer and pushing them into a ravine, fatally injuring one of them. He was sentenced to life in prison…

Presiding judge Christoph Schwiebacher determined that the defendant bears particularly severe guilt, meaning that he LIKELY won’t be eligible for release after 15 years as is usually the case in Germany… “a release after 15 years would not be justifiable” but he’ll get released anyway.

No eye for you!

Infiltration nation.

Germans “can’t be trusted” with intelligence secrets – Germany has been asking for access to Five Eyes intelligence to more than 20 years. But the extent of infiltration by Russia means that it cannot be trusted.

Germany cannot be trusted to share the UK’s share of Five Eyes intelligence secrets “as long as it remains infiltrated by Russia”, experts warned last night.

About the German allies who are angry and upset with Germany.

Russia-Ukraine war live: Drones cut power to Crimea as Germany says allies ‘not angry or upset’ over leaks – Germany says leaked intercepted call explained as ‘individual mistake’ to Washington and London.

… Meanwhile, the German defence minister has said the country’s allies are “not angry or upset” after details of high-level military discussions were leaked to Russian media.

Boris Pistorius described the incident, which included German military officers saying British forces were “on the ground” in Ukraine helping launch missiles at Russia, as an “individual mistake”.

“They are not angry or upset with Germany because they know that we have rules and that things like this can happen,” the German defence minister said.

That means aerson attack.

The Tree People did it (they’re kind of like the Sand People in Star Wars, only with trees)!

Tesla without electricity is like a… Well, this is what it’s like:

Tesla factory near Berlin evacuated! No power for hours after arson attack. Production at a standstill ++ Bomb searchers move in…

Peaceful protest turns into naked violence! Eco-criminals paralyzed Tesla’s car factory in Grünheide (12,500 employees) with an arson attack on Tuesday morning. The entire factory, the town of Erkner and parts of Berlin are without electricity. Bomb searchers are now moving in. The car factory has been evacuated!

That means leaked. Like in secrets.

Russia publishes German army meeting on Ukraine – Germany is investigating the apparent interception by Russia of army officers discussing supplying Ukraine with long-range missiles – and possible targets.

Audio of the video-conference meeting was posted to social media by the head of Russia’s state-run RT channel.

The officers discuss how the missiles could hit the Kerch Bridge, which links Russia to the illegally annexed Crimea.

Russian politicians said the audio proved that its “sworn enemy” was planning attacks.

Those were the days…

When we could smirk our smirk with impunity.

But then the real world happened. Again.

Germany Should Have Listened to Trump – He was right about Berlin’s self-defense and risky energy dependence on Russia.

The lower house of Germany’s Parliament voted to legalize the recreational use of cannabis last week. It was a timely move. Germany’s leadership class is going to need all the mellow it can find in a world that isn’t going Germany’s way.

That’s all we’ve ever been. It’s never been about film.

But we’re not just Crappy-Movies-R-Us anymore. Now we’re openly anti-Israeli. Wait. We’ve always been openly anti-Israel. But now we’re openly openly anti-Israeli.

Germany launches probe over Berlin film festival anti-Israel row – German officials will investigate how Berlin film festival winners were able to make “one-sided” comments condemning Israel’s war in Gaza at the event’s finale, a government spokeswoman says.

At Saturday’s awards ceremony, several winners were accused of making biased remarks on stage in relation to Israel’s war against Hamas, which began after the October 7 assault by the terror group that killed some 1,200 people, most of them civilians, and saw 253 taken hostage.

US filmmaker Ben Russell, wearing a Palestinian scarf, accused Israel of committing “genocide.”

It just keeps getting wackier…

Europe’s largest emitter of CO2 wants to start burying it in the ocean.

Do you have any idea how much dirt that would take?

OK, they want to bury it in sub-seabed storage. But still.

Germany to allow carbon capture, underwater storage – German Economy Minister Robert Habeck says Berlin will need to allow sub-seabed storage of CO2 produced in certain industries in order to reach its goal to be carbon neutral by 2045.
