First, I do agree....lot of fear-porn going on with TV news and social media.
If you bring up Putin in any setting....working-class Germans have a pretty negative opinion, and consider him a threat.
Second, on stocking up? No....I see no evidence of this. My wife (German in nature) does have a pantry for 'extra' food, but she's been on this binge for a dozen years.
Third, if an attack did occur....does the German Bundeswehr have enough bullets to last more than a week? I doubt it. Those years of Merkel trimming the military budget has a consequence.
So no, I don't see this as real news. It's mostly an opinion piece (I won't say fake news but it's going in that direction).
