1. Simply a lot of chatter this weekend in Germany over the Russia-Ukraine war. 'Overwhelming' is a word that I'd use.
'Putin's mistakes' was uttered a lot and I would speculate that German public forums this week will focus a lot on the retreat of the Russians.
2. Focus ran a pretty long-winded piece on blackouts and the potential for extended blackouts (lasting more than just a couple of hours). It's hard to imagine some scenario where the power is off for more than two hours. In all the years I've lived around Germany....the longest power outage was roughly seven hours, but the vast majority (90-percent) were over in sixty minutes or less.
3. Pretty wild event in Offenbach (suburb of Frankfurt) over the weekend (Sunday night). What cops say....some guy walks into a bar, pulls a pistol out and kills a guy. Shooter walks out and disappears....so far, police have not found him. Big manhunt in the region underway.
Motive? No one says much. Could be crime family related, or have connection to drugs.
4. Election in Sweden ended......right-wing element parties (coalition quality) have the lead, and the left-of-center government will be replaced as 'boss'. Shifting migrant policies? Pretty high chance of that.
5. WELT brought up some piece.....that German kids in the age group of 13....have only known crisis after crisis in the past three years, and some 'experts' are saying it's forcing a new reality upon these juvenile Germans.
