15 June 2026: Germany: 5 Stories

 1.  I watched the Germany-Curacao game...easily won by the Germans. Seats empty? I'd say less than 3,000 (humble view).

2.  Some kind of weird 'attack' in Frankfurt....argument between guys (they all seem to be 18-24....each guy pulls out a machete.  Police description....it didn't get extremely bloody.

Argument over what?  Unknown.

This happened on Zeil Strasse....main shopping district...near the Konstablerwache subway point.  After dark, its a somewhat questionable area to hang out...druggies.

If you were wondering....machetes are legal in Germany....as long as you are '18' and engaged in agricultural/forest work.  I doubt that this group were engaged in 'work'.

3. Swiss vote on keeping population of 10-million....failed.  Lot of discussion came up around Germany over the idea.

4.  Iran treaty signed....lot of speculation that German fuel prices will  'settle' downward.

5. UK says it'll set up a curfew for social media for 16/17 year old British 'kids'. 

Personally, I'd mandate all 17-and-younger kids to curfew at 7 PM....be in the house...in bed....sleeping.
