Still “managing it…”

Not.

The influx of migrants has been out of control for ten years now and there’s no end in sight.

Germany updates: Merkel’s ‘Wir schaffen das!’ 10 years on – Today marks 10 years since Chancellor Angela Merkel said “we’ll manage it” as Germany welcomed hundreds of thousands of displaced people.

Wir schaffen das” is now “wir sind geschafft.” We’re done. Exhausted.

German of the day: Keine gute Tat bleibt unbestraft

That means no good deed goes unpunished.

American good Samaritan stabbed by Syrian immigrant in Germany after stepping in to stop harassment – An American has been stabbed by a Syrian national in Germany after allegedly stepping in to help two female passengers being harassed on a tram, according to reports.

The young man was attacked at around 12:25 a.m. on Sunday after intervening when “two men from a group harassed female passengers” on the tram in the eastern German city of Dresden, Saxony police said in a statement.

Germany would love to help…

But we’re just stretched too thin at the moment for the past forty years.

Germany likely too stretched to provide troops for Ukraine, foreign minister says – Johann Wadephul’s comments come as the U.S. and European nations discuss security guarantees for Kyiv as a core element of any potential peace deal.

Don’t leave Europe out of this…

But please keep doing whatever you’re doing by keeping Europe out of this.

German Chancellor Merz Backs Trump Peace Push, Calls For Trilateral Meeting With Putin – German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has backed Donald Trump’s push for a peace deal with Ukraine, saying a swift settlement could outweigh a ceasefire. In interviews, Merz revealed Trump pledged U.S. security guarantees for Kyiv and urged a trilateral summit with Putin, Zelensky, and Europe’s involvement. While EU leaders push for a role, Washington remains the decisive force, with Kremlin aides cautious and U.S. allies pressing Europe to step up.

No one in Europe can figure this out

And it’s happening all over.

Country by country. There must be a good reason for this. Why are European voters voting for parties that promise to get European migrant madness under control? What’s wrong with them?

Far-right AfD tops German popularity ranking in bombshell new survey – Between Alternative for Germany and France’s National Rally, populists continue to rise in Europe’s most powerful countries.

Better late than never

Or is it already too late?

Germany is now leading the charge on Europe’s anti-immigration turn – Chancellor Merz’s new hardline course promises to accelerate the EU’s rightward pivot on migration as the bloc prepares to implement tough measures.

Past German governments sought to temper Europe’s most hardline impulses on migration. Now, under Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Berlin is vying to lead Europe’s anti-immigration charge.

The stark shift in Germany’s migration stance under its new government promises to accelerate the EU’s hard-right turn on migration as the bloc prepares to implement a series of new measures aimed at drastically reducing the number of asylum seekers entering Europe — and deporting more of those who do make it. As European leaders negotiate on how to put these measures into place, those from some of the EU’s most hardline countries are welcoming Germany’s new role.

Dial Wassim Al M. for Murder

Or attempted murder, at least.

Why won’t he tell us the rest of the letters in his name?

Syrian man charged with attempted murder in Berlin Holocaust Memorial stabbing – Germany’s top prosecutor has filed charges against a Syrian man in connection with a stabbing attack at Berlin’s Holocaust Memorial in February that seriously wounded a Spanish tourist.

The suspect sought to use the alleged crime to join the militant Islamic State group, the federal prosecutor said. The charges were filed July 18 and announced Tuesday.

The man, who was only identified as Wassim Al M. in line with German privacy rules, allegedly sent a photo of himself to members of the group before the stabbing to give the militants the opportunity to claim responsibility for the crime, authorities said.

German of the day: Klima-Disinformation

That means climate disinformation.

The consequences of green climate disinformation – Whether it’s heat, drought or global warming, the loudest warnings about climate change are preventing effective solutions…

The EU had proposed being able to buy three percent of its CO₂ reduction outside the continent from 2036, for example by planting forests in Africa… Green lobbyists, on the other hand, want all of this money to be spent on climate protection in this country (Germany). The case is exemplary: those who are particularly vehement in their warnings about climate change are opposed to pragmatic solutions.

“Speak loudly and carry a little stick…”

“You will go far.” Not.

Germany urges tough EU response if ‘fair deal’ cannot be reached on US tariffs – Europe’s biggest economy on Sunday urged a tough EU response if the bloc is unable to strike a “fair deal” with the United States over trade tariffs. On Saturday, US President Donald Trump threatened to slap the European Union with 30 percent tariffs. “We won’t accept just anything,” Lars Klingbeil, finance minister of Europe’s biggest economy, told the Sueddeutsche Zeitung newspaper.

They’re yours! Nope, they’re yours!

But they sought asylum with you! No, with you!

Get out the popcorn.

Poland to send troops to German border to block failed asylum seekers – Vehicle checks and drone surveillance will monitor refugees as relations between the two countries deteriorate.

Poland will deploy 5,000 soldiers to its borders to stop Germany from sending back failed asylum seekers…
