1. The Chancellor stepped into the situation with the nuke power situation (currently three remain operational). The Green Party position? Only two of the nuke plants were to be kept open to the end of March 2023. The Chancellor (Scholz) said 'no'.....all three stay open.
2. This chatter out of the Ukraine that drones are under development? My BS-meter is pinging near a '6' on this. They say the drone could carry a 75 kg bomb, and have the range of 1,000 km (enough to hit Minsk or Moscow).
My belief? The only way this program could be working is that it's a model already existing from Turkey or Israel, and the parts are sent into the Ukraine for them to assemble.
If this were to exist and they set a couple of drones out for long-distance targets? It'd change the dynamics rather quick....probably hitting various fuel production plants and shutting down gas production.
3. Climate activists in Berlin disrupted the Chancellor's speech yesterday.
4. Test results released for 4th grade kids in Germany for 2022. Dismal numbers in math, reading and writing. Blame going toward Covid and shut-downs of the past two years.
5. WELT ran a pretty heft/long article this AM on 'long' blackouts and what to anticipate. Lot of journalists are preparing people for what is expected to be 24 to 72 hour blackouts. Hard to say if this is bogus or potentially true.
