1. Various news outlets in Germany having pieces over the idea that Trump might win, and the US might exit NATO.
If you asked me....more likely to have most all US bases closed in Europe within 2 years, and the US still participating in some regional exercise two or three times a year. Makes more economical sense.
2. N-TV had some piece.....US intelligence warning of some 'attack' (terror act) in Moscow. Warning Americans there to be vigilant.
BS? Well....New York Post says....ISIS had some attack originally talked about in NY City, and that the back-up plan has shifted to Moscow.
3. It appears that the ISS battery pack missed most of Germany and landed in the Atlantic.
4. Some odd N-TV 'warning'.....coffee growers are hinting that by 2025....there might actually be a EU-wide coffee shortage....due to some new regulations being dreamed up by the EU.
May be a lot of BS hype, but it would be funny if coffee doubled in price by 2026 due to regulations.
5. Finland is talking about extreme measures to prevent folks from approaching the border from the Russian side....asking for asylum.
6. Presently, there is a small limited window for Germans to retire at age 63 and get the pension early. There is an effort going on....to eliminate that 'window'....with employers saying they can't afford to have people leave the work-force early.
7. Just odd....with the Red Army Faction arrest....there was a “solidarity demonstration” announced in Berlin-Kreuzberg. Some kind of motto used (“Stop state terrorism – solidarity with those in hiding and prisoners.”
I suspect if you asked around Berlin....probably 20-percent of the population has a mindset not to arrest, detain or charge up the gal, or the two remaining male members.
But in this way of thinking....if you brought RAF to Germans in the age group of 18 to 30....fewer than 5-percent (my guess) have any real knowledge of what was going on in the 1970s.
