Just Odd

 Today (Thursday) will be the first time in history that a British monarch (King Charles) addresses the Bundestag.  

Angle?  Well....the Germans 'say' tha this is supposed to finally bring about a recovery to the BREXIT event.  The fact that BREXIT was three years ago?  Yeah....some folks have brought up this past era. 

Punishing the 'bad-boy' done?  Some Germans will say that Merkel's response to BREXIT was always a 'spanking' gesture and deserved by the British public.  Others will say that this whole punishment-routine was not fully thought through.  And a few Germans will say that it was jus a remarkable accident that 'exit' came out a point or two ahead of 'remain'. 

A big development?  I would not go that far.  It'll probably be a simple speech....we are of one people....climate yadah-yadah....save the Earth....common cause....maybe you can take Harry and Meghan if Harry's visa is terminated over his admitted drug issues.  

One can probably admit there hasn't been much love between Britain and Germany since 1914, and this visit isn't a four-star event.
