Poland activated air defenses after massive Russian air strikes
For mongs like Olaf I would advise him to call Putler again and call internally for restraint on using weapons against Russia to not escalate.
This behavior is not bordering it is actively helping the enemy and leading to a far bigger conflict. Which their dumbness and cowardice already has.
People like Olaf are only manipulators not leaders and active makers.
Russia hits gets hit the same way or more if possible. All else is so idiotic it lacks words.
Ask yourself whom the restraint helps and who is scratching the barrels of the world for every possibility to continue bombing and killing its neighbour.
Complete embargo and confiscating their ships would be a first step here if they don't stop bombing civilian infrastructure ASAP.

I didn't understand his maneuvers at all either. It almost seems as if he wanted to get the last political nail in the coffin...

I understand him very well, though.
German economy is uncompetitive without RuZZian gas and old Ollie knows it very well.
Scholzi wants the war to end as soon as possible and start buying RuZZian gas again.
That’s why he can always say that the German military aid had strings attached and other countries pressurised Germany to send more aid when he was talking about sending 5000 helmets in 2022.
He doesn’t want to send Tauruses, as the Ukrainians don’t have satellites, or any long range reconnaissance devices, so there would be German soldiers acquiring targets for the Ukrainians. The RuZZians warned him that it would be an act of war if these missiles hit the proper RuZZian territory. Technically speaking, they are right.
Finally, we are talking about an SPD politician who protested against the presence of the American troops in Germany when he was young. For SPD in general, the Americans are the odd element in Europe and they have always idealised RuZZia or the USSR.
For example, apart from Schröder, this former German Chancellor was also a big Anschluss-lover and his party supported his statement:
Schmidt attacks western sanctions on Russia as ‘nonsense’
Former German chancellor describes Russian actions in Crimea as ‘perfectly understandable’
There’s a big difference between these two, though. Putin paid Schröder some big money and corrupted him, while he didn’t corrupt Schmidt. The old fart had nothing out of his comment.

In the days he has left as chancellor, he will no longer influence the course anywhere (apart from making an ass of himself). What will happen with Merz... we will see...I understand him very well, though.

Footage of the strike of the Russian kamikaze drone "Lancet-51" on the Ukrainian light MLRS Sivalka VM-5 in the Kursk region of Russia has been published. The Sivalka VM-5 MLRS is designed to support infantry during offensive operations and is equipped with 12-16 80 mm unguided S-8 aircraft rockets. Initially, the Sivalka VM-5 MLRS was created for special forces of the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine. The firing range of the Sivalka VM-5 MLRS is up to 5 km, it can be installed on any chassis, but is usually placed on pickups.
As a result of the strike by the Lancet drone, the Sivalka VM-5 MLRS was damaged, and personnel were also injured.

That's not true that we are soo dependent. Its a picture a few large players paint. Germany was never a place for energy intensive industries.
Look at the Ruhr area.
The largest chemical site on earth in Ludwigshafen is though.
But there are technologies to solve that even BASF says that a large part of their plants are future proof.
Just having the resources alone doesn't do the trick.
The German economy is very diversified.
Many try to emulate that and copy our middle champions for example. They try as hard as they can.
It's all steered, instructed and regulated though.
Edit
Schmidt is one of those old peoples young Putin could convince of his lies using Schmidts guilt feeling.
They appear to be managing and modeling and having others do the manufacturing.
Elon cannot get workers in Berlin for his Tesla hub.
AI revolution and robots still could provide a place at just the right time before the beautiful creative engineering minds are relegated to unemployed.

Germany is going negative to very low positive growth, and fears the move of 'middle quality' goods production, to China. The quickest easiest fix to this, is gas at 25% of what it currently is. Germany is a manufacturing economy, UK is a finance economy, City etc. France is a cheese economy...So in purely selfish terms the germans would like Russian gas back on.

Germany won't go back to buying Russian gas again. That's about as realistic as Germany leaving the EU or NATO. The political fallout would be much to great for too little a profit. Scholz made that call just for show, and everybody knows it.
He's a king without a kingdom nor a treasury. He can't make demands nor offer concessions. It was a huge waste of time devised only to appease the 10.5% which his party has bled away since the last elections – all those nostalgia-driven East Germans, die-hard pacifists, unionist busybodies and sociologists in their corduroys and slipovers.
Besides, the lack of Russian gas was never the issue everyone made it out to be (including Russia). We could've compensated for severing our economic ties with Russia well enough with literally every other administration at the helm but this one.
Germany's been in a perfect storm the past three years: Grave structural deficencies coupled with a government unwilling to tackle them.
This government coalition of ideologically incompatible parties was virtually depending on there never to be any sort of crisis, big or small. They needed the tax payer's money, and all of it, in order to fill in the chasms of disagreement between them.

How will the future German government sort out the cheap energy problem? By reopening nuclear power plants? I don't think there's a better solution.
We started planning to build nuclear plants in Poland, but the first one will not be operational until 2035, and that's a very optimistic scenario.
We need at least three of them. The cost of building them will be enormous.
We have very cheap coal energy, but the EU does not like it and charges us a fvckton of money for emissions.
Die PiS-männer were paid a lot of money from the EU that Poland had paid to the EU budget for these excessive emissions, but they spent it elsewhere. We have the biggest budget hole in history now due to spending a lot of money on the military and green energy.
Intel wanted to open a chip factory in Wroclaw, but it gave up this idea due to Poland having too expensive energy because of paying excessive emission fees.
