Three Questions

1.  I noted off Focus...someone asked one of the key figures of the CSU Party (out of Bavaria)....if the Last Generation environmentalists were destined to become a modern-day Red Army Faction?  

It's a curious question.  

If you haven't paid attention to the group....it's almost daily now that they trigger some event to get notoriety somewhere in Germany.  I would suggest since day one.....in terms of getting public feelings hyped up and positive toward their agenda....it's probably fewer than 1,000 that have attached themselves to the agenda.

At some point by the end of 2023, I expect some elements of the group to suggest violence and 'drama' as being next on their agenda.

As violent as the Red Army Faction was in the 1970s/1980s.....they were another group that generally unable to convey their purpose or mission in life.  In the end, they simply helped to mold the German police into a modern force, with new tools and strategies to handle this type of environment.  

2.  Is the figure of 9,000 Wagner mercenaries killed (on the Russian side) accurate?  

The number comes from the US, and I would be somewhat skeptical of the number.

If it were true....it's a problem to see how Wagner would continue their support function for the Russian army.  

3.  German cops pulled a pistol and shot a teenager for a robbery situation in Berlin?

Basically (occurred early this AM)....some teenage girl was caught robbing a store, and held until the cops arrived.  For whatever reason....the girl then pulled a knife and felt she could bluff her way out of the situation (bad move).  Cops pulled a pistol and fired a round into the girl's arm.  All of this happening at the main train station in town...exciting a fair number of folks.
