Five German News Stories

1.  If you watched the big public forum show on ARD last night (9:45 PM, the Anne Will Show)....the topic was the Ukraine war situation.

At some point, Will (the moderator) brings in the new Defense Minister (Pistorius).  On tanks going to Ukraine?  He basically says....a decision will be made soon (quote, unquote).  In simple terms, his Party is still preferring NOT to hand any tanks over.

I would strongly suggest that the longer this gets debated....public sentiment goes to handing some tanks over to the Ukraine, and it goes against the SPD position.  Oddly, both the Greens and FDP are for handing tanks over.  

2.  National election to be held on 14 May, for President and the 'House'.  How this will go?  Anyone's guess.

3.Via Focus, some Norwegian general has surveyed data (conflicting reports) and says at present in the Russia/Ukraine war....Russia has either dead, missing or wounded....at 180,000.   

BS-factor?  Probably a '5'.  

I personally doubt if Putin himself even knows, or if the military structure wants to tell the story even to the inner circle.

4.  Pressure building up for medical clinics....to halt the mask requirement (for Covid).  

5.  Fairly long ARD news piece on long-Covid.  Medical report stating worldwide....around 65 million people with it.  They (ARD) suggest the current German number of people suffering from long-Covid is around one-million.

A lot of this circles back around the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, which has been a 'thing' for several decades.
