1. This Russian rocket that hit Przewodów, Poland? From various German news sources, it landed in some field....killing two local folks. The small town is about 7 miles from the Ukraine border.
Russia denies it's their missile. Any real proof from where the anti-aircraft missile was fired? No. But this is drawing a lot of chatter from the Germans and Poles.
From my view of the news video....it hit some tractor pulling a wagon.
As for what happens next? I think that NATO will bring in a fair amount of radar gear and defensive measures.....beefing up the eastern border of Poland, and just pretend it was not intentional.
2. I sat and watched a business interview last night, with a German butcher. He's gotten his latest price gouge on the electrical bill, and figures he'll have to downsize/lay-off people because he can't function with the cost escalation. Note, he was a small-time operation with most all of the modern equipment. He thinks....come early 2023....meat is going to go through the roof on prices.
3. Germany hit 100-percent storage yesterday for natural gas. If you go by the estimation, from a moderate to average winter.....there's enough natural gas to avoid talking about a shortage. In a severe winter, there's enough to reach early March.
4. Lot of German hype in recent weeks over Musk taking over Twitter.
Some German politicians have left Twitter....to demonstrate their 'courage'..
From my view of the social media 'giant'? Some VIPs (politcially) have left, but the bulk of society stayed. To be honest, Instagram is a bigger German deal, with influencers at the heart of their operation. Politicians trying to get their 'brand' or message out there via Instagram? Their topics aren't the type to bring in viewers on the platform. If you want news or dialog.....Twitter is it.
5. France has announced that they will build 14 new nuke energy plants. If you were waiting for German reaction.....well, it's not that positive. But I think that the French have a potential customer in Germany, and they can set the prices for ample profit.
