Q-And-A: 28 Jan 2022

 1.  This 3G Covid regulation on trains (everyone has to be vaxed-up, recovered or tested)....leading to violent encounters?

Well....N-TV brought this up in the AM, and the train employees are left to enforce the 3G business....with this leading to violence.  It's likely to lead to more police being deployed on trains, with more stress/chaos to be 'normal' on train rides.

2.  Are Germans worried over the Russia natural gas situation?

Poll was done by Forsa....with 87-percent of Germans saying they were either somewhat or significantly worried about their natural gas situation.  

Helping the Ukrainians by giving them more weapons?  Well....seven out of ten Germans said 'no'....don't give any weapons to the Ukraine which might escalate the problem.

3.  Does the US or EU have any real authority over the Nord Stream II Russia-Germany pipeline?  

No.  Once this distribution company was identified as a German-based organization....the last barrier was complete to wrap up the paperwork with the Germans, and turn on the pipeline.  Neither the US or the EU have any real 'say' in the on-off button business.  

4.  Ralph Brinkhouse leaving the CDU Chairmanship position a big deal?

Brinkhouse was probably the last 'ornament' of the Merkel period around, and from this point on....it's Merz's ballgame.  It's amazing to view the past six months, and how the whole Merkel team have been 'let go'.
