1. Curious piece from Focus....life-long SPD member....exiting the party and telling her story (in her 60s)....now says she's looking for a new party.
After reading the piece....very similar to American strategy.....'exit-the-party'. She didn't say where she'd go but you assume Linke or Greens.
2. The Bundestag vote on the 2026 budget comes shortly.....debt will be highly discussed.
3. Baden-Württemberg (the German state)....yesterday voted to approve the use of Palantir's controversial "Gotham" software. Promised results? Enable police to "analyze data and prevent crimes."
I pondered over the situation. If the software says such-and-such is the problem....here is the location....then you'd logically apply more police presence...detain folks, and show results.
After thinking over it....most Frankfurt cops could tell you the issues/locations....without the software, without the computer-stuff. For some reason....just the computer giving you some data....makes leadership feel more confident.
I'm wondering....throughout B-W....if drug-dealing in 2026 takes a massive hit.
I looked up the general German commentary....several noted the 'Tom Cruise-script' referring to his sci-fy movie.
4. AfD commentary this AM.....Germany should buy Russian oil/natural gas....once peace is declared.
5. Some NATO assessment....Russia sends 20k men off to death...monthly. There might be a couple of months where such results exist. I doubt that they did this for the whole war.
If you did ask me....I'd suggest they lost 1-to-1.5 million men total.
6. Watching NTV business news this AM....Germany is short nearly 150,000 skilled workers in STEM professions.
