Three German News Stories

 1.  There are 187,272 Ukrainian men in German....over the age of 18.  The topic has come up....Ukraine wants to 'draft' some of these men and require them to come 'home'....to fight the war.  If they don't want to go....can Germany 'force' them?

This was a Focus article, and kinda interesting.

I don't think Germany wants to engage in this discussion.  How many of these guys were object to the war?  Unknown, and I suspect some would ask for asylum.

2.  Mini (the car company under BMW).....had a 'talk' and says as far as they can see.....the manual transmission is soon to be 'dead'.  

Odd subject.  With E-car development, I tend to agree.  

3.  Eritrea meeting of sorts in Stuttgart yesterday.  Lot of disagreement, and a brawl started up.  Lot of cops called....24 police wounded by the end.

You tend to have two groups in Germany....one is pro-Eritrea (meaning they back the current government), and one is anti-Eritrea (meaning they want the government to collapse.  There is some belief that Eritrea has some 'secret-police' presence in Germany, and causes the brawls to occur.  This idea may be a conspiracy theory, but have some elements of truth within it.
