You already had the highest energy prices before the war in Ukraine began.

Blame it on your self-inflicted Green Energiewende (energy turnaround). Turn off all your nuclear power plants and find out.

Germany’s heating bills have tripled since the start of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine – Germany has faced a significant increase in heating costs since 2021, after deciding to end its reliance on Russia as a key energy supplier over its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Germans are facing a 82% increase in heating costs since 2021, when the country decided to cut ties with Russia following its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

That means asylum seeker.

Florida GOP Rep Backs ‘Anti-Greta’ Thunberg German Influencer’s Asylum Bid – Florida Republican Representative Anna Paulina Luna has announced her support for far-right German climate skeptic Naomi Seibt, who is seeking asylum in the United States.

Seibt has claimed she facing political persecution in Germany due to her support for the right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) party.

“I applied for asylum with no intention to ask for a favor to prioritize my case. I am a legitimate asylum-seeker, my case speaks for itself. But when congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna saw my announcement, she approached me and immediately offered her personal support. I am immensely grateful for this opportunity. We both fight for the same goals: The protection of free speech and our shared Western values.”

That means cityscape. And this word is apparently offensive to Germans.

To Germans who are in denial about violence, sexual or otherwise, being committed by… As I said, in denial.

‘Ask your daughters’: Merz defends his call for large-scale deportations – German chancellor accused of taking a page from extremist parties with ‘dangerous’ rhetoric on immigration…

Merz said his priority was “security in public space” and stressed that only if it could be guaranteed “will the [mainstream] political parties win back trust”.

He had drawn flak last week for remarks that critics said hinted that diversity itself was a problem in German cities: “Of course we still have this problem in the cityscape, and that is why the federal interior minister is now working to enable and carry out expulsions on a very large scale,” Merz said on a visit to Brandenburg state outside Berlin.

Ai Weiwei should have read my blog more often…

Then he wouldn’t have been so, you know, surprised.

Just sayin’.

What I Wish I Had Known About Germany Earlier – A German newspaper commissioned an article from me but then refused to publish it…

A society governed by regulations, yet lacking individual moral judgment, is more dangerous than one with none at all.

A society that values obedience without questioning authority is destined to become corrupt.

A society that admits to error but refuses to reflect on its origins possesses a mind as stubborn and dull as granite…

Much To Do About Nothing

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.

Stunning and brave

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.
