That means stranded. You know, like your govenment after a few of your wacky Green policies?
Or like your govenment plane that won’t fly any more?
Some call her Annalena of Arabia.
Breakdown on government jet – Baerbock stranded in Abu Dhabi. There is a mechanical problem with the plane carrying the foreign minister – shortly after a stopover it had to land again. The Foreign Office reports that the trip will be continued in the evening.
The German government is still doing everything it can to prevent the war in Ukraine from escalating.
This time by sending Taurus cruise missiles.
Germany, a leading arms supplier to Ukraine, could soon supply Kyiv with Taurus cruise missiles. But differences between Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Defense Minister Boris Pistorius could delay delivery, as could potential modifications to the system.
More street blockades! This stategy is working out brilliantly.
Support for climate movement halves as Germans reject street blockades – survey Climate & CO2 Society.
Germans’ support for the climate movement has halved following the rise of highly controversial street blockades by more radical activists, shows a survey by More in Common Germany, an initiative that researches social cohesion. “All parts of society are much more critical of the climate movement today than they were two years ago – it has not gained or maintained ground with anyone,” says the organisation.
That means lion or lioness.
Until it means wild boar or wild bore.
Escaped ‘lioness’ in Berlin was most likely a wild boar, mayor says – Experts reach conclusion after analysing video that had triggered the original search.
The sound of a lion roaring in the Zehlendorf district inside Berlin’s borders turned out to have been played through bluetooth speakers by a group of teenagers…
One of these fake animal sightings in the summer in Germany (search above for “Sommerloch” or “silly season”).
You know, these “scary” none-news news reports used as filler during summer vacation season (journalists are allowed to go on vacation here, it seems)? This time it’s a lion on the loose or something.
Germany: Suspected lioness on the loose outside Berlin – Residents of a neighborhood near the German capital have been told to stay indoors while authorities search for what they believe is a lioness on the loose.
Please! By all means.
But to be willing to actually use them ourselves? Nein, danke!
German Defense Companies Could Be Europe’s Arsenal of Democracy – But for the Bundeswehr to fight will take a culture shift, not just weapons orders.
More than a decade ago, the German government made the deliberate decision to kill the ability of the Bundeswehr, Germany’s military, to fight a conventional land war in Europe and strip it of the equipment, manpower, and resources to do so. In 1990, as the Cold War was ending, the then-West German Bundeswehr alone was still able to field 215 combat battalions in a high state of readiness. Today, Germany has around 34 battalions, and the word “combat” is a bit of a misnomer. They are at such a low state of military readiness that when the 10th Tank Division conducted an exercise late last year, its entire deployed fleet of 18 Puma infantry fighting vehicles broke down…
Before the war in Ukraine. Not.
What could possibly go wrong this time? China being Germany’s biggest trade partner, I mean.
German industry urges reduced dependency after China export controls –
German industry on Tuesday warned that Europe must become more self-reliant in the hunt for raw materials needed for cleaner, more digital economies, after China caused alarm by announcing restrictions on some metals used for semiconductors.

In Germany? Because there is no place else for many conservative voters to go.
Angela Merkel turned the CDU/CSU into Social Democracy Light (the SPD). The conservatives behave like social democrats now and are frightened to stand up for conservative values. People with these values still exist in this country, however. Anything else I can help you out with?
Why is far-right populism so popular in Germany?
The Alternative for Germany is finding support from new voters, and has now won two local elections in a week. Why?
The routine attacks carried out by Muslims in Germany and the 35,000+ terrorist attacks carried out by Muslims worldwide since 9/11 could certainly have nothing to do with it. Oh, and then there’s France right now (coming to your neighborhood soon?)… Well, some things are just downright inexplicable and must remain a mystery forever, I guess.
Germany’s 5.5 million Muslims are often exposed to everyday, structural racism, report finds – Racism, hatred and sometimes violence against Muslims in Germany are widespread and often part of their everyday experience, according to a new report presented at the interior ministry in Berlin on Thursday.
Pretty soon you’re talking real numbers.
Germany: Catholic Church loses half a million members – The flood of people leaving the German Catholic Church has accelerated, breaking another new record in 2022. Numerous sexual abuse scandals are believed to be in part to blame.
