1. Top story this AM....out of Focus.....there's some 'secret' US national security strategy paper....suggesting a US policy of getting four countries to "withdraw" from the EU in some fashion: Austria, Italy, Hungary, and Poland.
After reading the various accounts....I'm of the mind that someone wrote the piece to provoke some folks (particularly EU leadership). And that it's not really a US gov't strategy.
Plus....to be honest...in the past thirty years....as much as it's suggested that the EU is unified....it's always been fractured/divided in various ways.
2. Debate going on in Germany.....if you call for emergency services (ambulance for example)....the authorities are eyeballing the idea of charging for the 'service' (amounting to some sum of 300-odd Euro).
For some working-class or retired Germans....if forced into a situation of a 300-Euro fee....they are likely not to call for help, and beg some neighbor to dump them at the Emergency Room.
3. State of Brandenburg Germany....new poll. Almost 50-percent of the public in the poll....want a new state election (next one would normally be fall of 2029).
Added burden....35-percent of polled folks....favor the AfD. SPD currently rates 22-percent. 43-percent favor left-or-left-of-center parties.
4. This week....Germany reported a total of 2,000 drone reports for 2025. Most are up in the Baltic region.
5. The city of Salzgitter in Lower Saxony.....says they are planning to examine the possibility of requiring asylum seekers to perform community service.
Yeah....NOT a optional thing.
Besides your state/federal welfare/asylum monthly check....in their vision...you'd also earn 80-Euro-Cents per hour.
Legal challenge? No doubt.
Doing the math....if you worked 40 man-hours a week....you'd top off your asylum check with 128 Euro more for the month.
My question....where does the 80-cents come from?
