Five German News Stories

 1.  I noticed off Focus this AM....some Putin story...that suggests that he's being filled-up with steroids' to counter the effect of cancer and Parkinsons.  

BS-factor?  I'd give it a '6' on a one-to-ten scale.  I will say this....for a regular older guy to battle cancer treatment on top of Parkinsons.....your energy factor would be awful low, and to insist you were normal....some doctor would have to give you some 'pep-drugs' which would make you do some risky/stupid things.  Most folks (99-percent of us) would retire, and go the 'easy-route'.  

2.  Germany's Minister of Justice said in a open statement yesterday.....that these 'Last Generation' environmental protest kids....are walking into some serious charges shortly.  The word 'imprisonment' was brought up.  

I don't think he's joking and there's probably going to be fifty-odd kids brought into some court over the next month....with the parents all freaked out and asking 'what the hell were you thinking'.  

I should add that the police unions are making some obvious blunt comments now....with heavy criticism of the politicians for allowing these protests on public streets and in museums to go this far.

3.  It is rather odd that almost all of the German news networks have covered the Pelosi attack event in SF.   One key factor missing from almost every story....if you read actual friends or associates description of the guy....he's a four-star nutcase (probably should have been locked up in a mental institute a decade ago).  

4.  If you go and read between the lines on refugee support.....most German cities are now saying they've hit max, and can't do more or handle the incoming crowd....without more funding from the federal government.   By the beginning of 2023....this will be a top three problem for the federal government. 

5.  This Wagner-group in Russia has stirred up the pot a bit.  Wagner is basically a contractor group who has former military people as their private army.  You have problems....they assemble their 'force' and off they go to conduct military operations in some third-world country.

Well....Wagner's boss has now said that Oligarch 'children' should be a part of Putin's war in the Ukraine.  If I were guessing....this will be a turning point where most all of the Oligarch flip on Putin, or start looking for a exit door to leave Russia.
