That means that’s crazy.

Youth word of the year – These were the top 3 youth words of 2025.
The youth have spoken… And, as every year, the rest of us are left wondering. The decision on the youth word of the year will be made on October 18, 2025. But which terms were up for selection in advance?
That means discount.
In this case down from “700% more expensive in the United States than in the rest of the world.”
Trump Strikes Deal With German Merck on Tariffs, IVF Costs – President Donald Trump announced a deal with Germany’s Merck KGaA to cut the price of its fertility medicines in exchange for relief from threatened tariffs, a step toward fulfilling his campaign promise of making IVF less expensive and more widely available in the US…
The discount will slash more than $2,000 from the cost of treatment, said Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Administrator Mehmet Oz.
That means to threaten.
And Drone means drone.
Germany to spend 10 bln euros on drones in coming years, defence minister says – Germany will spend 10 billion euros($11.62 billion)in coming years for all kinds of drones, German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius said at a meeting of NATO defence ministers in Brussels.
He also said that Germany will offer to take the lead in an European Union air defence shield and that Germany will increase its contribution to air policing.
Too few volunteers for the German military?
“I know, we’ll reintroduce the draft for everyone.” “No, we’ll introduce a lottery instead.”
They will do neither, of course. In a country where the majority of the citizenry openly admits that it would not defend it, the “debate” is meaningless.
Germany news: Coalition frictions open on military service – A canceled presentation on a military service breakthrough showed further signs of tension between the CDU and SPD.
It’s always worked in the past.
Just look at what UNRWA accomplished. They did a smash up job.
Germany, France call for UN role to secure peace in Gaza – Despite Trump’s aversion to the United Nations, the proposal could gain traction should Arab countries join the push.
Berlin and Paris are pushing for the United Nations to play a key role in maintaining peace in Gaza as the next, and potentially thorniest phase of U.S. President Donald Trump’s peace plan begins.
And profitable.
Now that everything in Gaza has been decided by someone else.
German deputy leader signals lifting curbs of arms exports to Israel – Germany’s Vice Chancellor Lars Klingbeil on Sunday signalled his government would lift restrictions on supplying weapons to Israel that were announced in August as a rebuke to Israel’s expanding military operations in Gaza.
The remarks by Klingbeil to German broadcaster ARD on Sunday evening suggested a policy shift following the Gaza peace plan, with a ceasefire holding between Israel and Hamas for a third day ahead of a peace summit in Egypt on Monday.
That means to nail one’s colors to the mast, to plant your flag.
Afghan Embassy in Berlin: The flag of their enemy – German soldiers and veterans are appalled: two Taliban representatives have entered Germany as diplomats. Now they are even announcing that they will raise their flag.
That means catcalling.
No wonder Germans prefer using the English word catcalling now too.
Sexual harassment: Germany debates ban on catcalling – While it is illegal in Germany to give a one-fingered salute, making obscene sexual remarks and gestures is not. The center-left Social Democrats want to change that.
Suggestive gestures or noises, graphically obscene remarks — an everyday experience for many women across the world. In some European countries such behavior can land you with a fine or even a jail sentence.
But in Germany, verbal sexual harassment in public is not criminalized under sexual offences legislation passed in 2016, which made non-consensual sexualized acts of touching like groping a crime for the first time.
My government is going to strangle the German car industry slowly, with great care.
And Pleasure.
Germany: Merz pledges to resist 2035 EU electric car switch – Chancellor Friedrich Merz said he would oppose the “hard cutoff” currently planned by the EU, aiming to stop registering new internal combustion engine cars by 2035. The goal was already under review and looking fragile.
Although nobody really wants to go, so just pick them up at the gate.
This non-apology tour is just like last year’s non-apology for the migrant madness tour, only different. “Denial is not just a river in Egypt anymore.” – Angie.
Angela Merkel’s non-apology tour – The former chancellor refuses to reckon with her fraught legacy on the war in Ukraine, instead invoking Covid and a missed chance for talks.
