Thats just technology, Markus. Maybe it will get sold, maybe not. But it will not make Germany a military big power again. That would cost money. And if you look at the development of defence budgets in Germany - I mean, without the special budget, the net defence rates are already DECLINING again... :har:

It took them 18 months until they even were willing to place an order for 18 Leopards to replace the 18 2A6 sent to Ukraine, and these new 18 tanks will not come until severla years have passed by. Until today they have not place dorders for artilelr y ammo to fill up the epty German stores, onmly a fraciton of the deficit gets filled upo, the rest of it remains empty - to spend the money this would cost for social wellfare and voter bribery instead. There is no political will to upgrade and strengthen the German "military". And no money. And no personnel. You're more likely to get a cactus to recite Shakespeare.

The BW already has rejected to buy the KF51.

And Pistorius is just a lightning rod to deflect lightning from Scholz. He has no financial support for his loud-mouthed speeches. He is massively overrated. And do you remember? I said he couldn't do anything and was overrated when he was called into office. He demanded 12 bn extra for the next fiscal budget. He got one. Half of it in question, because it is on credit.

In Germany, the BW only serves as an alibi to pretend to be part of the NATO club. No one here is really interested in the actual defense capability of the BW. Everyone just knows that you can save money if you keep cutting back. And thats what they did, and thats what they kept on doing after Scholz' Zeitenwende-speech two years ago, especially his own party.

Don't worry Bird, Their will be a black Boss Woman to scare the **** out of the planet, And she will get your government to tighten up and toe the line.Your people must be ready to face Russia again.

Everyone knows the weather maps that warn of man-made climate change in glowing red colors. Recently, however, more and more "drought monitors" have appeared in the media - the ground colored in the colors of dried and fresh blood. Is Germany a water-deficient country that will soon see entire regions dry out? The good news is that Germany will never be a water shortage country. But drinking water shortages can indeed occur regionally. There are many reasons for this. "Climate" is not one of them. In four episodes, we look at the water balance in Germany from a hydrogeological perspective.

Really? Do you think politicians worry about Germany from a hydrogeological perspective. No today we Americans want Germans to get their ass in gear and put some money and bodies into Ukraine. Look missiles aren't going to do it. You and the Brits better get your ass in gear.To the last soldier right, It's all abought ,Sean Penn and Volodymyr Zelenskyy

There are elections in three eastgerman states this autumn.

[Focus] It remains a close neck-and-neck race between the CDU and AfD in Saxony. A good two weeks before the state election, both parties are lonely at the top. The traffic light parties, on the other hand, face the worst-case scenario.

A close race between the AfD and the CDU is emerging for the state election in Saxony on September 1. According to an Insa election poll commissioned by the “Sächsische Zeitung”, “Leipziger Volkszeitung” and “Freier Presse”, the AfD would receive 32% of the vote, followed by the CDU with 29%. Behind them, the Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW) alliance appears to be establishing itself as the third strongest force in the Free State. It would receive 15 percent of the vote from a standing start.

According to the survey, the other parties would have to worry about entering the state parliament. The CDU's current coalition partners, the SPD and the Greens, are each at 5%, as is the Left Party. For the FDP, with currently 2 percent of the vote, it would again not be enough. The Free Voters are now just below the five percent hurdle with 4 percent.
27 percent “certain” to vote for AfD

27% of Saxons stated that they were “certain” in their decision to vote for the AfD. This figure is 23% for the CDU and 12% for the BSW. At the same time, the Greens and the AfD were rejected the most by Saxon voters. 57% stated that they could not imagine voting for the Greens. For the AfD, the figure for this statement was 46%.

In the last poll on August 9, the CDU was ahead with 34%. The AfD achieved 30 percent. The BSW came in third place with 11%. The SPD and Greens came in at 6% each, while the Left Party only achieved 4%.

---------------

By these numbers, if they would materialise: AfD + BSW = 47%.

How they see "us" (me excluded, please :O: ).

And I think they are right.

Manuel Neuer, for some years having been the best goalie in the world and having defined a completely new way of interpreting the role of the goalie, has stepped down from the national team. You may like him or not, it doe snot matter: his record commands respect, he was a giant in his profession. With him the last active player form the German world winner team 2014 in Brazil has left active nati0onal team service now.

Germany was always blessed to have had absolutely world top class goalies for its national team. Especially Oliver Kahn and Manuel Neuer were giants.

Neuer remains active as goalie for Bayern München. He recently married and the couple got a baby meanwhile. It is expected that the national team's new goalie will be Marc-André ter Stegen, another very good goalie who for long has been the number two.

For some years you said, I thought he has been the German national teams first goalkeeper for decades.

All the memories I have seeing him in action throughout his carrier.

I think he was the national goalie since 2009.

I recall a situation in the Halb finale in the world cup 1980-something, where Neuer rush out to take the ball but hit the oncoming player instead-Remember many was convinced Neuer would be expelled.

I could be wrong though I'm pretty sure his last name was Neuer.

Edit
I was totally wrong-His name was Toni Schumacher
End edit

You must mistake him - in the 1980s...? He is now 38 years old!

BREAKING: Mass stabbing event in Europe again, this time Germany

At least 9 people stabbed at “diversity festival” in Solingen, Germany.

Reports of several fatalities.

Conflicting report whether it was 650th birthday of the city or a diversity festival.

Allahu Akbar I’m sure.

a city jubilee. 650 of Solingen.

Solingen is a hotspot of German knife manufacturing, so the attacker at least showed some decency in weapon choice.

we have knife events daily in Germany. no exaggeration. its the federal police saying so.
