1. Is there too much natural gas in Europe now (over 100-percent)?
Well....based on all of the various countries, their reserves, and what sits on ships (LNG-type) off the coast....there's 100-percent. Germany will likely hit the 100-percent in the next couple of days.....due to unseasonably warm weather for October.
2. Pro-Russian sentiment in Hamburg.....with a car marked with the Russian 'Z' symbol?
Well....older German guy, in his 60s.....did this back in March. Cops pulled him over and were able to cite a law, and the fine of 50 Euro is handed to him. This was a daily rate....so 80 days later.....it was adjusted up to 4,000 Euro.
3. Bundestag drafting up a cash-ban on purchasing property?
Yes, and it's aimed in particular at Russians who simply drive up....unload a suitcase of cash, and buy a German property.
4. All of this mobilization chatter from Russia.....was the upper limit 300,000?
Well....N-TV covered this in the AM today, and there is some evidence that the real number became 500,000.
One might look at this and suggest some massive invasion. However, they screwed this up by a huge loss of tanks/APCs in the first six months of the war. So if you try to make this a infantry war....logistically, it will fail.
I might add here.....if you drafted up or obligated half-a-million Russian male workers....the Russian economy will come to some major stumble within 90 days.
