We love your missles, honest.
Germany welcomes military investors and industry complex professionals of all levels of experience who share our vision of a prosperous future of preventing or at the very least surviving a Russian attack.
US missiles are welcome in Germany, foreign minister says – Baerbock’s comments came in response to criticism from within the German government coalition.
In theory, at least.
Spy-linked Russians restart trade with German toolmaker – Heller Tools exported machinery to entities linked to a covert FSB smuggling network.
Companies linked to a Russian spy ring have resumed buying machinery from a German toolmaker — just months after the manufacturer was warned about sales to the same smuggling network.
Analysis by the Financial Times has established that Heller Tools, a Dinklage-based group founded in the 19th century, sold a total of $1.2mn of drills and other tools to companies linked to the so-called Serniya smuggling operation.
That means a castle in the air.
You know, a pipe dream. Like Germany’s renewable “energy turnaround” pipe dream. Only now the money has stopped coming down the pipe. Reality always sticks up its ugly little head sooner or later.
Germany Plans to Cut Renewable Subsidies as State Costs Soar – Nation to cut all payments next year when prices turn negative.
Payments will also be based on investment rather than output.
“When the government makes loans or subsidies to business, what it does is to tax successful private business in order to support unsuccessful private business.”
– Henry Hazlitt
If you start counting at the end of the line.
Why Chinese technology set off alarm bells in Germany – Even as the German government moves to bar components made by China’s Huawei and ZTE from core parts of the country’s 5G networks, some German companies are looking to work with Chinese firms in other critical areas…
The ban comes as Chinese technology firms are increasingly viewed with suspicions for their allegedly too close ties to the government in Beijing. Especially Beijing’s drive to make companies like Huawei and ZTE world leaders in high-tech sectors makes Western governments wary of giving them too much influence on their national infrastructures.
Not in their German blood. In their Leftist Brain blood.
Musk blasts German satirist over Trump assassination joke.
“Chancellor, what is this?” wrote Musk on X quoting a post by German climate change denier Naomi Seibt, in which she warns her followers about the German satirist Sebastian Hotz, also known as “El Hotzo”.
In his tweet, Musk questions why the German government employs Hotz, a claim made by right-wing Youtuber Naomi Seibt.
“I think it’s absolutely fantastic when fascists die.”
“The demand for fascists vastly outstrips the actual supply. The further fascism recedes into history the more self-proclaimed anti-fascists call people fascist who aren’t, a cost-free exercise bringing personal and political advantage.”
– Douglas Murray
Certainly not about the performance of the German team during the Euro 2024 championship.
But…
Germans don’t like what Euro 2024 has exposed about their country – Since Berlin became the capital again 25 years ago, German ingenuity, once applied to solving problems, has been applied to finding excuses. No wonder national team manager Julian Nagelsmann decided to give the whole country a pep talk.
“The championship has shown Europeans just how many things don’t work in this country.”
Out of the question.
Wir sind doch nicht blöd (we aren’t stupid). Somebody has to pay for this.
Germany debates tax breaks for skilled foreign workers – The German government wants to grant skilled foreign workers a tax rebate if they take up employment in Germany. But the idea has been met with resistance.
Red marks the spot.
Berlin bans red triangle symbol used by Hamas to mark targets – Berlin has banned the inverted red triangle symbol due to its use by Hamas and their supporters to mark enemy targets in videos and graffiti.
The motion passed in the state senate said the scarlet arrow icon represents an immediate threat to Jews and to people committed to the freedom and security of Israel and should be banned at protests and in the context of the Middle East conflict.
The symbol has been used to target pro-Israel academics and politicians, including Kai Wegner, the Berlin mayor who ordered the eviction of pro-Palestine protesters from the city’s Free University by police.
“Kai will pay” was graffitied on the wall of a university under a red triangle.
Germany opened up the floodgates (Angela Merkel, 2015).
Let the Germans take care of the huddled masses yearning to be… to get a free lunch.
Poland upset after Germans return Afghan migrants – German police returned an Afghan family that had illegally departed Poland. Warsaw decried the move as a violation of law, German police say Polish counterparts left them waiting for hours.
“The transfer of foreigners to Poland by the German police was carried out in violation of the principles of cooperation between the two services and against the transfer law. The German authorities must not make such a decision arbitrarily.”
And jackpot! 1,400 unauthorized entries and 173 arrest warrants issued in one week.
Maybe we should do this more often. Like, for always and forever. And not just for Euro 2024.
Germany detects 1,400 unauthorised entries ahead of Euros, Bild says – Border authorities in Germany, host nation of Euro 2024, detected 1,400 unauthorised entries and issued 173 arrest warrants in the week preceding the soccer tournament, according to German newspaper Bild.
