1. Weather folks now say that storm from Wed night.....generated around 25,000 lightning bolts in the region.....more than what would be normal for the region....in a normal year. I would guess in my village....at least 20 'hits' (homes/trees).
2. Focus had a piece over a German mother who apparently was all hyped-up to travel to Costa Rica for summer vacation. Her son was fairly determined.....no Costa Rica trip....because of the C02 damage from flying there from Germany. I would imagine across Germany....there's probably 500 kids like this now.
3. Lithuania has shut down two border crossing to Belarus....pushing tensions up a notch.
4. The German desire to spend 2-percent of GDP on the military budget? There's commentary that they might reach it presently, but it won't be a long-term goal of the SPD-coalition.
This NATO-push? It's been lingering for a decade now.....even Chancellor Merkel objected to the 2-percent number.
