I have long considered CNN to be the absolute bottom-feeders of junk news. It's therefore striking to me that even they can see the unwelcome truth that seems to elude Biden and the EU.

Germany is apparently planning nationwide "heat islands" for people to keep warm in when their supply of gas runs out or becomes unaffordable. Presumably they're going to prioritize gas for essential industries over civilians. Plumbers, of course, will get rich.

I seem to recall that the last time the Germans tried to impose their will on the Russians, the results were distinctly sub-optimal.

Germany has created app. 1200 new words to deal with the pandemic. To be fair, making compound words is basically one of the national pastimes there.

I picture the Grim Reaper driving a double sickle-bar mower through India. From the anecdotal accounts (all hospitals in Delhi out of oxygen, all ICUs full, crematoria building pyres in the parking lots, etc) there is no way their casualty reports are remotely accurate.
