Five German News Stories

 1.  Front-page news for Germans....off the Russian state TV network.....some propaganda show from last night....mentioning that Germany is the chief target for nuclear attack.  

BS-factor?  '8', but the guy has to reassure the pro-Putin people watching that all enemies are on the watch list.  As for Germans?  Probably 5-percent of them are hyped-up and asking where the shelters are located.

2.  Hessen state (where I live) has a fund now set up.....one billion Euro to fix crappy schools.  Mostly to replace doors and windows....mold and mildew....unsafe conditions.  Surprising on the amount of poor conditions that now exist.  

3.  Christmas markets have started to open now this week across Germany.  Full-scale open....none of this half-open gimmicks of 2021 that Covid invoked.  Wiesbaden's market will open tonight.  

4.  Germany now offering to bring their Patriot system into Poland and ensure they are 'protected'.

5.  Some polling organization did a poll over support of the coalition (SPD, Greens and FDP).....finding that only 40 to 50 percent of Germans think the current group can survive to 2026 (the normal next fed election).  Suggesting a early vote will occur?  Not really, but I think if you asked if people would be shocked over an early vote....more than one-third would say absolutely not.
