Repartition Germany before it starts another war.

East vs. West European war is inevitable.

Large "migrant" population on welfare. And, they're "welcoming more."

"Germany has implemented a federal admission program to resettle Afghan citizens who are at particular risk under Taliban rule, with a target of taking in 1,000 individuals per month along with their family members."

Green energy fantasies and third world immigration into a welfare state will do that.

Exactly right.

doom loop caused by mandating electric everything while at the same time blowing up existing power plants and attempting to replace with puny amounts of expensive and unreliable wind and solar power ... an abject lesson for anyone who cares to pay attention to such things ...

“Is Greta Thunberg back from liberating Gaza?”

i think her “flotilla” returned to shore a few minutes after leaving because they encountered a storm at sea, probably caused by “climate change” because no one ever heard of storms occurring at sea before ...

“East Europe is where the action is.”

indeed ... entire nearly fully-automated automobile factories have been built in those countries ...

They are not importing people so they will survive.

Umpossible. When Merkel opened the flood gates she assured Europe needed the turds to work in Germany so Germans could enjoy their social welfare and generous retirements. Immigrants would turbocharge the economy. The immigrants would bring diversity, peace, and love.

We’re we lied to?

Those raw numbers don’t tell the story. In 1800 Germany had a high percentage of younger people and low percentage of seniors. Today the numbers are reversed.
50% of the population is beyond child bearing years. The raw stats don’t say who exactly this is but I would bet it’s the native Germans. Muslims are a younger demographic.

“In 2024, 40-59-year-olds made up the largest age group in Germany, at around 22.3 million people. The most recent figures confirm that the next-largest age group was 65 years and older, at roughly 19 million. “ https://www.statista.com/statistics/454349/population-by-age-group-germany/

“You raise an interesting point. Here in the United States the steel industry collapsed while the United Steelworkers (USW) did next to nothing.”

No doubt the union leaders CELEBRATED their take-downs of “the man”, and likewise the shortsightedness of the workers who voted for them.

My friend’s daughter and a few of her friends are visiting from Munich. Friend drove me over to his nice little house on a lake to meet them last week. Attractive, healthy, intelligent people and few little kids were included, a 1 year-old and really darling three year old who spoke German and English.

Prosperous people, somehow making money. Friend is a Republican and his family seems to share his views, not that we talked politics.
