Four German News Stories

 1.  Medvedev (Putin's number two) said yesterday: "If Russia ends the military special operation without a victory, then Russia will no longer exist, it will be torn into pieces."

I would agree.  With each day that passes....there's more equipment permanently removed from the military arsenal, and a minimum of a hundred men either dead or wounded enough to be out-of-action.  Things will never return to a 'norm' in this generation of Russians.

2.  About halfway between Bremen and Hamburg (in the north), some German female bicyclist on a ride....had three wolves give chase.  She thinks she only survived because she kept her speed up.  Eventually, there's going to be a human death leading back to the wolves issue in Germany.  It won't be pleasant from that day on.

3.  For a couple of hours....Twitter shut off the account of ZDF's (German public TV, Channel 2) news show 'Frontal'.  Reason?  What they said was that the person who manages the account....had a incorrect age listed.  It appears that this got ZDF all hyped-up, and accusations that Russia might have been behind the incident.   

4.  Across the bulk of France.....32 days straight without rain.  Drought conditions are now in effect.
