Where will this German militarization madness end?

That means condescending.
After UN fiasco: Former African president harshly criticizes Baerbock – “condescending.”
On the sidelines of a summit of African leaders in Nairobi, Botswana’s former President Mokgweetsi Masisi spoke to Bild in strong terms: “Perhaps Ms. Baerbock should have focused on doing her job in German diplomacy instead of trying to dictate to Nigerians where to build their toilets and telling Africans how to deal with elephants.” Masisi added: “Perhaps Germany would then have received more votes from Africa for the UN seat.”
And practice.
Chancellor Friedrich Merz (CDU) has already ruled out a “big bang” of reforms out of consideration for the SPD and a frightened public. However, the verbal de-escalation ahead of the coalition committee meeting should not obscure the extent of the need for action and, above all, who must take the initiative to help Germany emerge from the economic crisis: the SPD, led by Labor and Social Affairs Minister Bärbel Bas, as well as the labor unions. But it won’t work without the cooperation of CSU leader Markus Söder, who is at times very much a social democrat.
That means to bungle.
And that kind of sort of rhymes with Baerbock, which also means to bungle.
Verbaerbockt?
“Baerbock blew it” – CDU/CSU calls for an inquiry into the Green Party politician following the UN defeat – CSU foreign policy expert Stephan Mayer is calling for an investigation into Germany’s failure to secure a seat on the UN Security Council. Former Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock must answer questions before the Foreign Affairs Committee.
Following Germany’s failure to secure a non-permanent seat on the UN Security Council, the CDU/CSU is stepping up pressure on former Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock. CSU foreign policy expert Stephan Mayer is calling for the Green Party politician to be questioned in the Bundestag, as reported by “Bild.”
“We must thoroughly investigate the causes of this embarrassing election defeat,” Mayer said. To that end, he added, “it is absolutely essential that Annalena Baerbock answer questions from the Bundestag’s Foreign Affairs Committee.” The former foreign minister must explain “how and when her office took specific steps to mobilize majorities in support of Germany’s bid for a non-permanent seat on the Security Council.”
Well, to whatever nationality I feel like pledging it to on any give day.
Most new German citizens keep original nationality: survey – Germany’s previous government changed laws to allow dual citizenship. A new survey shows that, one year after that reform, more than 85% of new German citizens are opting to keep their original nationality.
The majority of people who were granted German citizenship last year retained their original nationality, according to a survey by the Mediendienst Integration research group.
It found that the number of newly naturalized citizens with more than one nationality in 2025 ranged from 85% to 98% in cities that collected data.
That means poverty.
Germany’s poverty rate rises to record high, welfare group says – Germany’s poverty rate rose to a record high of 16.1% in 2025, leaving around 13.3 million people classified as poor, according to a report published on Tuesday by the Paritätische, an umbrella group for charitable organizations.
The figure was up from 15.5% a year earlier and marked the highest level since comparable records began, the association said, citing official data released earlier this year.
Not just “a leader.” We’re number one!
We’re number one in having the highest EU electricity prices! And in tanking economies, too. Do you think they could be related?
Germany is a leader in renewables, so why does it have one of the highest EU electricity prices?
Germany generated more electricity from solar and wind in 2025 than any other EU country – but its prices remain tied to volatile fossil fuels.
German households pay around a third more for electricity than the EU average, despite the country’s impressive efforts to ditch fossil fuels.
Or the ones with those windmill thingies on top!
