There are more Russian spies in Berlin than Russians in the Kremlin.

Scholz: Ukraine did not consult Germany over Russia incursion – German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said on Wednesday Ukraine had not consulted Berlin about its Aug. 6 shock incursion into Russia and that he expected that military operation to be limited in time and territory.

Speaking at a press conference after talks with Moldovan President Maia Sandu in Chisinau, Scholz said Berlin was monitoring further developments around the incursion closely.

Ukrainian leaders have cast the attack as proof that their military can still succeed in offensive operations, and still surprise. Russia has vowed to repel the incursion.

Come on, GÜNTHER!

They want to restrict knives now too?

But Germans have always carried knives and used them in public, right?

Sheesh. The next thing you know they’ll be restricting clubs, spears and stone axes.

Germany getting tough on knife crime – German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser wants to further restrict the carrying of knives in public, to combat a perceived rise in knife crime. But some have criticized the plan as impractical.

The German government has promised tougher knife laws after the police reported a rise in the number of stabbings, especially near train stations — though the statistics remain controversial.

Interior Minister Nancy Faeser has called for the law to be changed so that only blades of 6 centimeters (2.36 inches) would be allowed to be carried in public, rather than the current 12 centimeters. An exception would be made for household knives in their original packaging. Switchblades would be banned altogether.

In Germany?

Montezuma’s Revenge it is not. More like Moscow’s Revenge, I’d say.

Drinking water contaminated? Suspected sabotage again at Bundeswehr base – Once again there is suspicion of sabotage at a Bundeswehr base. This time, a fence at a drinking water tank in Mechernich, North Rhine-Westphalia, has been cut. The public health department warns against using the water.

Let’s diversify!

Just like we did with our dependency on Russian gas a few years back.

It’s called diversification through more dangerous entanglement.

German investment in China soars despite Berlin’s diversification drive – Politicians warn of rising geopolitical tensions but country’s carmakers stick with Chinese manufacturing.

German direct investment into China has risen sharply this year, in a sign that companies in Europe’s largest economy are ignoring pleas from their government to diversify into other, less geopolitically risky markets.

No, not China. US-Amerika itself.

US tops China as Germany’s biggest trading partner – The United States overtook China as Germany’s biggest trading partner in the first half of 2024, according to preliminary German statistics office data, as Berlin’s drive to reduce dependency on Beijing takes shape amid a resilient U.S. economy.

German imports and exports to the world’s largest economy totalled around 127 billion euros ($139 billion) from January to June, while for China the figure was 122 billion euros, according to Reuters’ calculations based on the data.

Honest. No, really.

We mean it now. Those days are over. For real.

A “single-digit number of Germans” are also being held in Belarus, the Foreign Office said on Friday.

Berlin’s train services are immune to vandalism

They’re always disrupted.

Berlin train services disrupted, vandalism suspected – Rail service between the German capital’s main railway station and the western district of Spandau has been severely disrupted. Authorities believe the fire was deliberatly started.

Train services in the German capital, Berlin, will be disrupted for days due to a cable fire that authorities believe was deliberately set…

The incident follows an arson attack that caused damage to the train line between Hamburg and Bremen on Monday.

Police said perpetrators deliberately set fire to a cable shaft on the railway embankment near Bremen’s Bürgerpark, disrupting high-speed trains between the western state of North Rhine-Westphalia and Hamburg.

Last week, arson attacks on the French high-speed network severely disrupted rail traffic shortly before the start of the Olympic Games.

An activist linked to a far-left movement was arrested in connection with the French incidents.

No illegal aliens here

The Germans call them “irregular migrants.”

But even the wacky German left is starting figure out that “irregular migration” is maybe sort of not such a good thing. Not that they’ll ever actually do anything about it. But still.

Germany: Scholz says irregular migration must ‘come down’ – First-time claims for asylum in Germany fell by a fifth in the first six months of the year. The chancellor said border checks will continue, to further limit the number of migrants entering through the land borders.

“In general, we intend to continue strictly controlling the German borders,” Scholz told the regional paper. “We want to limit irregular migration, as I have announced. The numbers have to come down.”

But Germany-shaped void?

That tune will never be a hit.

The Germany-shaped void at Europe’s heart – Olaf Scholz’s government is punching below its weight in Brussels.

Last month Olaf Scholz and Emmanuel Macron entered an eu summit with a plan. The German and French leaders agreed that a “strategic agenda” document, drawn up to set the eu’s priorities for the next five years, was inadequate. The passages on climate and migration were weak, and what about defence? But their extensive rewrites, drawn up just before the meeting, sparked a revolt among the other leaders, Italy’s Giorgia Meloni among them. Voices were raised, fingers jabbed, and the pair retreated in humiliation…
