--- "Does the AfD oppose the major parties on this issue? It stands to be compelling in Germany's future. There will be a cold Winter, and a fuel-less Germany will not freeze quietly."

From a climate change "propaganda" site complaining about the AfD. Lefties are pushing climate change for all its "worth" meaning grift. This is why the AfD scares them, as does the EU Commission since AfD is EU-skeptical. With reason.

"The far-right populist Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) is Germany's only large party to unequivocally reject any action against climate change - but its impact on the country's efforts has been limited. The AfD has not yet entered national or regional governments, and all established parties have ruled out cooperating with the group. Researchers say the party's influence has mostly been confined to debates, causing further polarisation on climate issues. However, even as part of the opposition, the AfD has started to slow certain climate measures at the regional and local level, making it ;sand in the gears; of the country's energy transition."

Sand in the gears? A large, steel monkey wrench.

another stated position of AFD is to divorce itself from alliance with America and form close alliances, economic as well as geopolitical, with Russia and China.

In the USA, the new Secretary of Defence has stated that he is against the US continuing in NATO.

The drift on both sides is against NATO for different reasons.

I don’t know what to make of this.

I don’t know if the Russians like being cut off from Europe since their historical ties are to europe. and by being cut off from europe —they’re becoming more of a vassal to china—which the russophiles in Russia like even less than playing second fiddle to europe.

You are kinda correct. On relating to int’l events...Mar 1919, is when it gets ‘re-used’.

Originally, it was developed by the French...1821. French used the idea (30k troops in the mix) along the French/Spanish border...originally to prevent Yellow Fever coming from Spain into France. This was a fake agenda...real purpose was to prevent Spanish propaganda/fake agenda...from getting into France (if the story from French sources is true).

Even then, you had to worry about fake news. (Hard to believe fake news from Spain...out-bested....fake news from France).

In this case, I think the referenced political barrier is in place to keep the migrants from being legally expelled and to maintain the influx of new ones.

You are kinda correct.

I was citing its first use in an explicitly military/political (rather than "hygienic") sense.

But thanks for your contribution to the conversation.
