Second-Hand Tanks 4 Sale

Never been used.

They’re a real steel, I’m sure.

Deal struck to send German-made Leopard 1 tanks from Belgium to Ukraine – Dozens of second-hand Leopard 1 tanks that once belonged to Belgium have been bought by another European country for Ukrainian forces fighting Russia’s invasion, the arms trader who did the deal said Tuesday.

It’s much too dry, dry, dry!

Was yesterday (or the past few years).

Now it’s much too wet, wet, wet! All it does is rain in Germany these days. But don’t worry, because you’re still allowed to worry. Ask any climate activist. In both cases “the Climate Crisis” is to blame. It’s science. I mean, pseudoscience.

Rhine river levels in Germany back to normal after rain – Heavy rain has raised water on the river Rhine in Germany to levels allowing cargo vessels to sail fully loaded, data from German inland waterways agency WSA said on Wednesday.

Data from the WSA’s website Pegelonline showed that the last shallow sectors of the river around Cologne had now reached levels generally permitting full vessel loads.

Dry weather in June meant the river became too shallow for vessels to sail fully loaded and ship operators imposed surcharges on freight rates to compensate for vessels sailing partly empty, increasing costs for cargo owners.

Women? Speechless?

Fake news alert! Fake news alert!

Germany ‘speechless’ after earliest-ever Women’s World Cup exit – An opening 6-0 win over Morocco makes Germany’s earliest exit ever at the Women’s World Cup even harder to fathom for a No. 2-ranked team that won’t be advancing out of the group.

A 1-1 draw with South Korea in a dramatic end to the group stage Thursday left Germany in third place in Group H behind Colombia and Morocco. In the end, it was Morocco who inflicted the damage with an unexpected win over Colombia in a game being played at the same time but on the other side of the Australian continent.

Mud Metal

It’s one of the heaviest metals there are. Even though it’s mud.

Wow. I heard a lot of these fans were wondering why their coffee tasted so muddy. Turns out it was freshly ground… A lot of them used to be addicted to mud wrestling, I’m told. But they’ve been clean now for years… Also heard about this big male cow that got stuck in mud near the stage. Terra-bull… I’ll be here all week, folks.

Germany’s Wacken metal festival halts admissions after persistent rain turns site to mud – The Wacken Open Air heavy metal festival in northern Germany is opening on Wednesday with a reduced audience after persistent rain turned the grounds to mud and forced organizers to order a halt to all new arrivals.

Organizers of the famed music festival in the village of Wacken, in a rural area northwest of Hamburg, had already told fans on Tuesday that no more cars and trucks could be admitted to the site because camping areas, the grounds and access roads were in poor condition because of heavy rain in recent days, and more was expected.

No Media Manipulation Here

German mainstream media (state TV) doesn’t even try to hide it.

A woman they interviewed as a random customer in a supermarket to get the “correct” response to a question about “justified” higher grocery prices was one of the channel’s own regional news presenters. This was kept secret from TV viewers, of course. TV viewers who are forced to pay a TV tax to view such high-quality, non-biased news reporting, I might add, whether they actually view it (or even own a TV) or not.

We’re from the government and we’re here to help.

The best we can offer you is five

Although originally shooting for at least ten, Germany’s Greens must now sheepishly admit that the best they can offer the country is five tough years of economic stagnation.

Germany faces 5 tough years, economy minister warns – Berlin should borrow money to subsidize energy for companies or risk losing its industry, Robert Habeck.

Germany faces five difficult years of green industrial transition that “will put a burden” on people, Economy Minister Robert Habeck warned — while urging his government to approve fresh subsidies to safeguard the country’s industrial base.

But we’re just trying to make Germany greener!

By dumping our trash in Polish landfills.

It’s kind of like how we got rid of nuclear energy here. We shut down all our nuclear power plants and then import nuclear power generated in France. If only the rest of the world would follow our example… But they can’t. For some reason. The hell if we know why.

Poland threatens to sue Germany over dumped waste – The Polish government says it may be forced to take Germany to court over waste, some of it toxic, being transported and stored in unauthorized landfills.

German of the day: Wildschwein

That means lion or lioness.

Until it means wild boar or wild bore.

Escaped ‘lioness’ in Berlin was most likely a wild boar, mayor says – Experts reach conclusion after analysing video that had triggered the original search.

The sound of a lion roaring in the Zehlendorf district inside Berlin’s borders turned out to have been played through bluetooth speakers by a group of teenagers…

Haven’t had one of these in ages…

One of these fake animal sightings in the summer in Germany (search above for “Sommerloch” or “silly season”).

You know, these “scary” none-news news reports used as filler during summer vacation season (journalists are allowed to go on vacation here, it seems)? This time it’s a lion on the loose or something.

Germany: Suspected lioness on the loose outside Berlin – Residents of a neighborhood near the German capital have been told to stay indoors while authorities search for what they believe is a lioness on the loose.
