By not deporting them.
A few thousand, tops. While an average of 250,000 flow in each and every year.
It’s a joke. But fewer and fewer Germans are laughing.
How does Germany deport people? – Germany does not have masked ICE officers or an equivalent agency, but both Chancellor Friedrich Merz and his predecessor have done all they can to accelerate deportations. Here’s how the process works…
They ought to consider putting together a real army first.
The German bomb: Much ado about very little – Discussions about a “German bomb” are like Dracula. No sooner has one killed the Transylvanian vampire than he rises again from his coffin. Since the 2016 U.S. presidential campaign, when candidate Donald Trump seemed to indicate that the U.S. might no longer be willing to protect its allies, some German observers have argued that an eventual loss of the U.S. “nuclear umbrella” would make a national nuclear arsenal indispensable…
Alas, the debate about German nuclear weapons is back again. Fueled by transatlantic disagreements, most recently over Greenland, the idea of Germany acquiring its own nukes appears to have again gained salience. Proponents argue that thinking about a German bomb must no longer be a political taboo, since it is the logical consequence of a ruthless realpolitik assessment of the situation. But is it?
That means to disintegrate.
Klingbeil: Transatlantic relations are currently disintegrating – Federal Finance Minister and Vice Chancellor Klingbeil has described relations with the US as severely damaged.
At an event held by the German Institute for Economic Research, the SPD leader said that transatlantic relations as we know them are currently disintegrating. Klingbeil referred to the US military intervention against Venezuela, the conflict over Greenland, and the US government’s new national security strategy. The Trump administration is making it clear that it wants to dominate the Western Hemisphere and is increasingly turning away from Europe politically and culturally, Klingbeil said.
Why do you look the way you do!?
German man picks apart the American habit of smiling at strangers in the most German way…
Mothers of Invention, “Weasels Ripped My Flesh,” “Didja Get Any Onya?” Minute 2:00: “Years ago in Germany, when I was a very small boy, there was a lot of people standing around on the corner asking questions like why are you standing on the corner, acting the way you act, looking like you look? Why do you look that way!?”
That means snowroller. As in steamroller.
Snowstorm moves south – 50 centimeters of fresh snow in Baden-Württemberg ++ Many accidents ++ Relief in the north.
Winter storm “Elli” has Germany in its icy grip. Up to 50 centimeters of fresh snow is expected in the south, while rail traffic in the north is still restricted, but the all-clear has been given in some areas. There have been accidents on numerous highways and federal roads due to slippery conditions. Millions of Germans are now asking themselves: What will happen next with “Elli”? The German Weather Service (DWD) reveals all…
Climate Crisis activism in Germany has also been brought to an abrupt halt, I’ve noticed.
It has made concern great again.
Germany expresses ‘greatest concern’ on Venezuela – Germany is following the US military operation in Venezuela “with the greatest concern,” a Foreign Office source said on Saturday after US forces bombed targets in the country and seized President Nicolás Maduro.
A crisis meeting was being held in the Foreign Office. “We are observing the situation in Venezuela very carefully,” the source said, adding that the Foreign Office was in close contact with the embassy in Caracas.
Germany was consulting with partner countries on the situation, which remained unclear, the source said.
Only eleven dead.
Pyrotechnics, fire, and violence: Eleven people die on New Year’s Eve – Fires, fireworks, traffic accidents, and violence claimed the lives of at least eleven people in Germany on New Year’s Eve. The sad toll of the turn of the year.
That means more than half don’t.
Let the Knaller (bangers) knallen (bang)!
Almost half of all Germans want a ban on fireworks – In Germany, it is only permitted to sell fireworks in the three days leading up to New Year’s Eve. Some line up early to buy them, but others have safety concerns and want to see them banned altogether.
Happy New Year!
American style, maybe.
I’ve seen a lot of German pancakes (in Berlin). But I’ve never seen any like these.
PS: Everybody eats these – the German German pancakes – on New Year’s Eve.
