That means trenches.
Coincidentally, that also means graves (das Grab).
German troops to dig trenches on Poland’s borders – Anti-tank barriers to be built on frontiers with Belarus and Russia as Moscow ramps up pressure on Nato airspace.
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…
Of LSD?
It’s guys like this who give drunken Polish truck drivers a bad name.
Germany: Trucker leaves trail of destruction after amok ride – A truck driver injured 26 people during a zigzag ride over two highways in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia. One person was critically injured and several others severely hurt.
A Polish truck driver who is believed to have been under the influence of alcohol or drugs caused chaos on two highways in western Germany on Saturday, injuring 26 people and damaging scores of vehicles.
One of the eight severely injured people is in critical condition, police said, while the 30-year-old trucker is also being treated at a hospital before he can be interrogated.
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.”
By dumping our trash in Polish landfills.
It’s kind of like how we got rid of nuclear energy here. We shut down all our nuclear power plants and then import nuclear power generated in France. If only the rest of the world would follow our example… But they can’t. For some reason. The hell if we know why.
Poland threatens to sue Germany over dumped waste – The Polish government says it may be forced to take Germany to court over waste, some of it toxic, being transported and stored in unauthorized landfills.
To be in the Zwickmuhle is to be in a predicament, to be on the horns of a dilemma.
As in Germany’s neighbors (see Ukraine and Poland) despising the pro-Russian policy it has been following forever, bypassing and ignoring them in the process. The punch line: Now the Germans are surprised, even offended that everyone is so upset about it. But it’s not much of a “dilemma,” if you ask me. It’s quite straightforward, really: The Germans went it alone, yet again, placed all their money on Putin & Co., and lost.
The reason for the rejection (for German President Steinmeier being unwelcome in Ukraine) is clearly Steinmeier’s course in recent years, which Kiev considers too Russia-friendly. As foreign minister, he had, among other things, always pushed for the construction of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline. “The warnings, it’s true, from our Eastern European partners we should have taken more seriously. Especially as far as the period after 2014 was concerned and the expansion of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline. And that’s why holding on was certainly a mistake,” Steinmeier had admitted last week. But despite the admission of mistakes and errors: The extent to which Germany’s Russia policy in recent years has caused disquiet and upset in Kiev is only now becoming really clear.
They had not choice. Firework sales have been prohibited in Germany.
Thanks a million, COVID.
Germans flock to Poland to buy fireworks in defiance of ban – Firework sales prohibited in Germany for second year in a row owing to Covid, resulting in growing stockpile.
Have a Happy New Year!
That’s because the rest of the world is the real world, Germany.
You’ll get used to it eventually. You’ll have to.
Germany concerned about Poland’s nuclear energy plans – The Polish government wants to start producing nuclear energy in 2033 and has agreed to deals with the US and France. But Germany is increasingly alarmed by its neighbor’s energy plans.
Nuclear reactors are considered by many to be the perfect solution.
With about 100 kilometers left to go?
That would be so beautiful man but something tells me Angie Merkel might just dig in her big heels on this one. If you didn’t already know: Nobody in Europe wants this thing, folks. Nobody except Germany and Russia, so I guess it’s going to happen.
France presses Germany to ditch Nord Stream 2 over Navalny France has urged Germany to scrap a major gas pipeline project — Nord Stream 2 — with Russia. EU members are considering sanctions over the detention of Alexei Navalny and a crackdown against his supporters.
“It’s a decision for Germany, because the pipeline is in Germany.”
Most likely, if it’s directed against US-Amerika everybody jumps on board.
Germany Weighs Measures Against U.S. Over Nord Stream Threat – The 1,200-kilometer (745 mile) pipeline under the Baltic Sea, designed to pump Russian gas directly to Germany, has triggered deep division between EU member states. But the prospect of a direct U.S. intervention in the 27-member bloc’s energy interests should prompt a collective response, said the officials, who asked not to be identified.
“The government is called upon to develop and put forward proposals for a measured, clear reaction on behalf of Germany and the European Union.”
