Germany shortly before a coup. Germany shortly before a coup...?

Political leaders, ministerial rank, top German quality. For every order of such, an unlimited compensation for pain and suffering is granted. The product speaks for itself, or at least it desperately tries to, I'll leave that uncommented.

French-German rivalries and animosities between KMW, Rheinmetall and Nexter, threaten to derail the planned MGCS main battle tank project.
https://www-focus-de.translate.goog/..._x_tr_pto=wapp Things do not look much better for the planned 6th generation FCAS fighter. Dassault wanted to ursurp all contorl power and rights over it, but just earlier this year gave ground (a little bit) to Airbus and German and Spanish financiers. Personally I was always against the cooperation of KMW and RH with the French Nexter. The gains in experzise and c omnpetence are all on France's sides, the Germans have surprisnigly little advantage form this arrangement. The Leclerc is said to be modern and complex and much electrified and automatized - but also very prone to technical problems and system breakdowns. More of a highly bred racehorse than a robust plow horse. The French planned from surprisingly early on to develope a new MBT.

Democracy, destruction of logic, energy transformation. A perfect storm. Thanks to an increasingly intellectually incapable populace.
https://think--again-org.translate.g..._x_tr_pto=wapp Stupidity is a pandemic, too.

And another German anti-success story:
https://www-focus-de.translate.goog/..._x_tr_pto=wapp Quote:
The Greens are more braindead than a Zombie, so i doubt they will ever understand what the manis talking of. Der Streit um das Verbot von Verbrennungsmotoren, eine Sanierungspflicht für Altbauten oder das Teilverbot von Gas- und Ölheizungen beherrscht derzeit die klimapolitischen Debatten. Das ist unnötig, schreibt Experte Professor Dr. Achim Lerch - denn die diskutierten Maßnahmen sind nicht nur überflüssig, sondern sogar schädlich.

This illustrative documentation of political physics in the Focus is too nice to miss it. The exmained subject is the shooting star Robert Habeck: quickly risen, even faster to crash. He should have stayed with writing fairy tale books for children instead of trying to turn them into politics.
----------------- Robert Habeck is the first star of the traffic light government that we get to watch burn up. Contrary to what he suspects, his political energy is not regenerative. The pressure drop can be clearly read on the dashboard of the demoscopes. The physically interesting thing about this incandescence is the fact that no outside energy is involved. The diminishing luminosity was triggered inside the star. For a better understanding of these phenomena here is a small encyclopedia of political physics: 1. nuclear energy: The nuclear energy of the politician is his competence. Ideally, it forms the core of the core of his political personality, catapults him into high government offices and illuminates his being, as happened in the case of Helmut Schmidt, sometimes beyond his own term of office. In the case of Robert Habeck, this economic competence energy is found only as a creeping current, which explains the dense succession of assertion ("We have no electricity problem") and retraction ("The energy price shock acutely endangers Germany's prosperity"). Against the problems of an excessively high electricity price - which he himself has fueled with nuclear power plant shutdowns, bans on Russian gas and coal phase-outs - subsidies are now to be provided with state money. Politics paradox. 2. connected energy: The energy reservoirs of a top politician are always fed from the reservoirs of his political partners as well. That's why a politician's ability to compromise and cooperate is so important, because only then can these energies of connection emerge. Christian Lindner (finance minister, FDP) and even more so Olaf Scholz were initially quite willing to connect their energy reservoirs with Habeck. But somehow the connections didn't fit. Baerbock and Habeck are rivals anyway. Nothing flows there, and if it does, then only negative energy. There was also no connectivity between Lindner and Habeck. Even Scholz has meanwhile stopped importing energy from the chancellor's office to the Ministry of Economics because the clan structures there irritate him. Thus, a lonely Habeck became an energy self-supporter. 3. wind energy: The wind energy of politics is generated by the media. The windmills set up everywhere in the media landscape manage to inspire even mediocre politicians for some time. Martin Schulz and AKK know what is meant here. In the case of Robert Habeck, the winds of the ARD broadcasting houses and "Spiegel" blew extremely intensively for years. This was more than helpful for Robert Habeck's climb to the top. But the debate about the independence of public television and the criticism of activism at "Spiegel" have left their mark on the rotor blades of these wind machines. Now people are hesitant to blow further into Habeck's sail. Der Spiegel" also describes the conditions in the management of the Ministry of Economics as "nepotism" and disparagingly calls the Greens a "muesli and morality party. The energetic result: Habeck's wind harvest turns out to be meager this spring. 4 Geothermal energy: In Habeck's case, the heat flows from the depths are supplied by friends and family members, who reciprocate posts, company cars, salaries and environmental prizes, thus conforming to the principle of cogeneration. They provide heat and he provides the power of office. But tapping into this family geothermal energy from sister, brother-in-law and brother does not bring the upward mobility that is needed now; on the contrary, it causes an energetic thrust reversal. It is no longer Habeck who warms the audience, but the audience who heats him up. The minister's chair must currently be imagined as a reddened hot plate. Magnetic energy: Magnetic energy, also called the force of gravity, is both fair and treacherous, because sooner or later it brings every highflyer back to the ground. As soon as the thermals weaken, the magnetic energy comes into play. As soon as Robert Habeck re-entered the earth's orbit of normal mortals, he was rudely received. A crash landing of the minister is no longer out of the question. Magnetic energy knows no relatives. Conclusion: Habeck is out of thermodynamic equilibrium. He has gone from being the coalition's energy supplier to its biggest energy guzzler. In this state, he can no longer mobilize the driving energies needed to transform a still largely fossil-fuel industrial society. The chancellor must at least think about taking it off the grid when the opportunity arises. Habeck undeniably has many talents - the right way to deal with economics is not one of them. If one is honest, Habeck, the Minister of Economics, is already functioning only in a stretch mode. https://www.focus.de/finanzen/gastbe...193214839.html

They just can't get it right, not by a long shot. Or maybe they don't want to? Fifteen months - nothing has happened except for stupid verbiage.

If I were a German citizen in the present world climate I'd be quite worried.

We must not be, because as Germans we know that the state always takes good care of us.
