'I've given up on all my dreams': Dread in Germany deepens over war in Ukraine
la times via msn ^ | 10/3/2022 | Erik Kirschbaum

Posted on 10/03/2022 7:28:53 AM PDT by RomanSoldier19

Kati Pannwitz spends her evenings at home alone in a darkened and unheated apartment, watching old movies while worrying about the new reality of life in a country that is being drawn ever closer to the war in Ukraine.

Surging inflation and fears about an energy crisis are hitting home for Pannwitz, 34, taking a heavy toll on her finances and the futures of both her and her 17-year-old son.

No more vacations, no more trips abroad, no more going out, no more saving and an outlook that has grown increasingly bleak for Pannwitz — and millions of fellow Germans — since Russian armed forces invaded Ukraine seven months ago.

Germany (as with all of Europe) needs more Jesus and less Gaia-worship.

I am fed up by blaming everything on Russia/Ukraine.
Germany and all Europe got into this pickle by their stupid climate policies. It was coming for few years already.
But they do not want to admit it so they blame it on this war!

Sounds like the 1930s all over again.

In the mid-30’s, a lot of folks left Germany while they could.

Time demonstrated it was a prudent choice.

Germans have voluntarily ingested the poison of green lunacy. They have committed first cultural suicide and now economic suicide. They are dragging the rest of the EU down with them. If the Democratic Party is not destroyed, America will follow.

“Her son recently joined the army after finishing high school.”

She should be terrified. Green policies are turning her son and his generation into cannon fodder

Germany was having trouble, what a sad, sad story
Needed a new leader to restore its former glory
Where, Oh where was he? Where could that man be?

“Rough” looking? You need to have your eyes checked and a reality adjustment.

I feel the same way and I am in the top 20% of wage earners in the US.

34 yo single mom with a 17 yo son, bitching about watching netflix instead of going out. The life choices seem pretty clear. You can have fun, but the fun gets to have you too...

If that's the woman in the photo, standing on the cobblestones, I don't think she's all that rough looking. In fact, she seems rather attractive.

Europe is going to have a rough winter though.

I lived in Germany in my youth - excuse me - West Germany. Since then I’ve had German friends tell me their country is lost - this was years ago, after the wall came down and they started importing middle easterners.
