High trust society - meet Low trust grifters....

Merkel dropped a bollock with the 'Open Door' thing, however the blame is on her and her CDU, not the people who came.

And a larger Polish zone this time, maybe instead of the t*SSian zone.

...The units were to initially comprise 12,000 volunteers and would initially be assigned to the Second, Fourth, and Ninth Armies. The strict voluntary nature of the matter was emphasized. The use of the derogatory term "HiWi" (Hi-Wi) was banned. This was strictly prohibited, as the aim was to convince the Poles that they would be treated like "real" Wehrmacht soldiers. Any contact with Ukrainian or Russian units, as well as political discussions with the volunteers, was also prohibited. ...

all those whose parents were German citizens before WWI were considered German citizens, and their children were conscripted to the Wehrmacht.

A brief explanation is needed here: Hitler considered Poles (and Czechs) unfit for service in the Wehrmacht.

Trump's big Ukraine U-turn!

US President wants to supply Patriot systems and reportedly also offensive weapons

Washington - Is this Donald Trump's U-turn on Ukraine policy? The US President now wants to supply Patriot air defense systems to the country invaded by Russia. BUT: It's not the US population, but Europe that should pay for them! AND: Apparently, he's now also open to supplying offensive weapons.

Trump told reporters: "This will be a deal for us. We will send them Patriots, which they desperately need - because Putin has really surprised a lot of people. He talks nicely and then bombs everyone in the evening." Trump initially did not specify how many Patriot systems Ukraine would receive. "The EU is paying for them. We're not paying anything, but we will deliver." Which countries will pay remains unclear....

EU postpones retaliatory tariffs on US products until early August

Despite new tariff announcements from the US, the EU plans to impose counter-tariffs only in early August. According to the EU Commission, there is still hope for an agreement.....

....In response to US tariff policy, a package of EU counter-tariffs worth €21 billion was supposed to go into effect overnight into Tuesday. Even before US President Trump's latest tariff announcement, the US had raised several tariffs on EU products.

Negotiations instead of counter-tariffs

As the Reuters news agency reported, citing negotiating sources, several EU countries - including Germany - advocated for temporarily suspending the counter-tariffs over the weekend. This step was intended to facilitate negotiations with the US government.....

For the first time in 25 years: More Poles are leaving Germany than entering

Germany, long one of the main destinations for Polish emigration, recorded a decline in 2024 for the first time since 2000.

Destatis data shows that 90,807 non-Germans moved from Germany to Poland in 2024. 82,082 people emigrated in the other direction.

Although Poles have long been moving to Germany, the number of emigrants increased sharply after 2011, when Germany fully opened its labor market to workers from Poland and the seven other countries that joined the EU in 2004.

"According to the German Statistical Office, more Poles will return to our country from emigration than emigrate to Germany in 2024," writes Andrzej Kubisiak, deputy director of the Polish Institute of Economic Research (PIE), in a post on the X platform.

"The trend is broader and also applies to other CEE countries, but given the demographic challenges, this is good news for Poland," he adds.

German media, such as the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ), also commented......

......

.....By comparison, Poland's economy has grown faster than any other EU country over the past three decades.

According to Kubisiak, there are no longer such strong incentives to emigrate among Poles or residents of Poland in general.

During the event "Deregulation. We're removing obstacles, we're making life easier," held on Monday, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk praised the country's economic development.

"The Polish economy will rank 20th in the world by 2025, overtaking Switzerland, and the purchasing power of a Pole is higher than that of a Japanese," Tusk said....

During the 2015-2016 celebrations of New Year's Eve in Germany, approximately 1,200 women were reported to have been sexually assaulted, especially in the city of Cologne. In many of the incidents, while these women were in public spaces, they were surrounded and assaulted by large groups of men who were identified by officials as Muslim men of Arab or North African origin....

....Suddenly, "NAZI" lost that edge

Today I passed through different borders 8 times: Germany/Czech Republic no police and no control.

Bottom line: White countries should stop the asylum crap cold-turkey.

Refugee numbers at record low:

Germany no longer the number one asylum country

Refugee numbers in Germany are plummeting! According to figures available to BILD, only 61,300 initial asylum applications were submitted in the first half of 2025 - a decrease of almost exactly half compared to the previous year (121,426 initial applications in 2024). This means that Germany is no longer the number one asylum country.

In June, there were fewer than 7,000 new asylum applications. This is around 60 percent fewer than in June 2024 - and even 70 percent fewer than in June 2023. Such a low level was last reached in March 2013. Only during the coronavirus lockdown in spring 2020 were the numbers similarly low.

▶︎ There is a clear reason for the drastic decline: the new federal government is taking tough action. Border controls are being tightened, family reunification is being stopped, and the controversial "quick naturalization" program is being abolished. More countries of origin are now considered safe - and in Brussels, Berlin is pushing for stricter EU rules.

Federal Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt (55, CSU) sees this as a clear success. He told BILD: "These are clear successes in the migration turnaround. We are consistently continuing on the path to turning migration on its head."...

....This means that for the first time in years, Germany is no longer the country with the most asylum applications in Europe. Spain received 76,020 applications for protection, and France 75,428. Germany follows in third place, just ahead of Italy (62,534), Greece (27,718), and Belgium (17,285).

At the bottom of the list: Hungary (47 applications), Slovakia (84) and Lithuania (152)....

it will end with deportation camps on the border where these caught migrants will stay for years.

Do you mean fewer migrants in Germany or fewer migrants coming to Germany every year?

It's clear that we are not being treated as true allies.

I thought the German political establishment

Over the past few years, Poland has frequently encountered this situation, and there have been financial penalties to pay.

....
There are repeated temporary reintroductions, for example due to the COVID-19 pandemic or during international events such as the Olympic Games and the European Football Championship in 2024. In addition, some EU member states have effectively reintroduced permanent border controls in recent years. Austria has continuously controlled its borders with Hungary and Slovenia since 2015 to "limit migration."

The European Court of Justice (ECJ) ruled in 2022 that this practice violates the Schengen Borders Code. Germany reintroduced border controls with Austria for the same purpose in 2015, which have been continuously extended to this day. In a January 2024 ruling, the Munich Administrative Court, citing ECJ case law, found that these controls also do not comply with the European legal requirements of the Schengen Borders Code and are therefore unlawful.....

....
The reintroduction of border controls can be reviewed by the European Court of Justice (ECJ). However, such a procedure cannot be initiated by individuals or civil society organizations. This would actually be the responsibility of the European Commission, which, as the so-called "guardian of the treaties," has a supervisory function.

However, the Commission's previous practice has shown that, for political reasons, it largely refrains from initiating infringement proceedings against member states in the area of ​​migration and border control. However, in addition to the European Commission, other EU member states can also initiate such controls. The Schengen Borders Code provides for a special "consultation procedure" (Article 27a).....

It i against the EU law.

makes it seem Germany tries to undermine state legitimacy.
