Another Green daydream comes to its inevitable end. Sheesh. German Greens don’t even know what country they live in.

Germany’s Autobahn — finally time for a speed limit?

The majority of Germans want a motorway speed limit, and environmental groups say it would help cut emissions. But are their arguments strong enough to convince those opposed to slower speeds on the Autobahn?

Germany: No asylum for Russian draft dodgers?

Scholz made the comments in response to a question from a student at Tongji University, who asked whether he would have to smoke cannabis if he studied in Germany, as the drug was not legal in China.
