Especially if you’re flying German government planes.
German government flight woes continue on way to Djibouti – It’s not the first time problems with flights have stalled German diplomacy. Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock was headed for talks in Djibouti, but the Luftwaffe plane lacked a permit to fly over Eritrea.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) said this months ago. He has always been ahead of his time, I guess.
That’s why the current fabricated frenzy about the AfD party allegedly planning the same thing doesn’t make much sense. But Scholz is a social democratic (socialist) goody-two-shoes kinda guy so the mass deportation he is demanding must be a nicer and more “social” kind. If he says “we have to deport people more often and faster,” nobody cares. That it’s all talk and no walk and none of these deportations will ever take place in Germany is another story altogether.
Funny what a few months and the continued success of of the AfD at the polls can make. But nothing has been orchestrated here, folks. Just move along please.
You know. That tired old German ritual of “fighting the Nazis of 1933 today?”
Certainly is a convenient backdrop if you’re a government quietly approving a law that would ease dual citizenship in the background. The public debate of which would otherwise be quite controversial. It almost seems as if these protests are being used as a distraction. It almost seems as if the whole thing was planned.
Germany’s parliament approves easing dual citizenship – German lawmakers have voted in favor of changing the law, which would open up the possibility of dual citizenship to swaths of the population. The bill would also reduce the time needed to qualify for naturalization.
The German government, i.e. the established parties in Germany, wants to pull a “ban Trump” number on the competition.
It’s quite simple, really. The AfD is getting too many votes and it looks like this will continue to be the case. Talk of banning the party is increasingly in the air.
Just study this latest embarrassingly heavy-handed move. German Gutmenschen (goody-two-shoes, virtue-signalling “correct” thinkers), already loudly vocal against the AfD, are being told by the powers that be (see state media) to somehow be even more against them, this due to an alleged “mass deportation” meeting that probably never took place. Or, if it did, most certainly not in the way it’s being spun. In other words, although you all already knew that the AfD was anti-uncontrolled immigration, you must now show your moral outrage about finding out that the AfD is anti-uncontrolled immigration – and hit the streets in protest. And sheeple being sheeple, they’ve done exactly as they’ve been told.
Turmoil in Germany over neo-Nazi mass deportation meeting – Revelation that members of AfD met with extremists to discuss removing asylum seekers has sparked days of protests.
That means: “What causes the extreme winter weather?”
In January. In Germany.
This was a real question asked and addressed by Germany’s ARD state TV channel. And they were serious. It wasn’t meant to be a joke. But it certainly is.
“Climate crisis” hysteria has brought us to the point where perfectly natural seasonal weather is now seen as a threat in need of an explanation and a solution.
Maybe everything is finally getting back to normal.
Austrians happiest in EU, while Germans grow glummer – Despite the pandemic and war, most Europeans reported they were quite satisfied with their lives in a 2022 survey. Austria came out top, while Germany and Bulgaria brought up the rear.
On a scale of 1 to 10, Austrians rated their overall life satisfaction at 7.9, putting them ahead of Finland, Poland and Romania, each scoring 7.7. The EU average, calculated using survey data from each of the 27 member states gathered in 2022, was 7.1.
Because, well, it will be against the law. After twisting the law on it’s head. Because, well, we live in the Age of No Consequences.

Pro tip: When you’re the guy giving the order to strike, make sure you catch the last train back to your headquarters in Berlin before the strike begins.

Ukraine Only Has a Few German Leopard Tanks Left: Lawmaker – Ukraine’s military only has a few Leopard 2A6 tanks left that are fit for combat after receiving 18 from Germany in March, according to German politician and economist Sebastian Schäfer…
However, some of the Leopard tanks reportedly sat unused in storage or needed repairs before being sent to Ukraine, sparking concerns about the vehicles’ battle-readiness. Prior to Berlin pledging to send Leopard tanks to Ukraine, the head of German military manufacturer Rheinmetall told German newspaper Bild that stocks of Leopard 1 and Leopard 2 tanks “must be completely dismantled and rebuilt.”
