1. Zelensky of the Ukraine....says his troops captured Chinese soldiers in Russian uniforms. Maybe BS....maybe just Chinese civilians who took up a paid-situation for Russia.
2. It appears that the coalition talks between the CDU-CSU and SPD....are near the end. Asylum/migration appears as a sticking point.
3. Markus Lanz public forum show from last night....lot of talk over tariffs and Trump....then someone on the panel noted that the AfD Party is 'strangely quiet'. No one on the panel from AfD....I should point this out..
4. Since 1 January....coffee products across Germany....up by 43-percent in cost (particularly if a name-brand).
5. German statistics office piece: The German median gross annual income for 2024.....was €52,159.
Explaining the average? Half of employees earned more than or exactly this amount, while the other half received less.

Do they still use ration cards at the BX like they had in the 70's for things like coffee, cigarettes and sugar?
Yes....ration cards have never gone away. But I would add....coffee-wise, you can get premium German coffee at almost the same price as you see for premium coffee at the commissary. I think they took sugar off the list in the 1980s. Last time I looked at a carton of smokes in the BX....that was in the $90 range.
