When people like myself said that Germany and other European countries were at risk of freezing to death this coming winter, we were not saying that in a figurative sense. Millions of Germans literally might not be able to afford their heating bills when winter comes around.

At least a third of Germans on low incomes may not be able to pay increasingly high energy bills, the German Tenants’ Association (DMB) has warned, urging the government to make changes to housing programs.
“That’s a hell of a lot of people,” Lukas Siebenkotten, the DMB’s chief, told newspaper Der Tagesspiegel on Sunday. “We’re talking about millions here.”
Siebenkotten urged the government to allow more people to claim housing benefits in the wake of rising energy prices. “Tenants must also be protected from the termination of contracts if they cannot make increased advance payments,” he said.
The remarks came after Klaus Mueller, the head of the Federal Network Agency, Germany’s gas regulator, warned that consumers should conserve at least 20% of gas in order to avoid shortages during the winter.
“In all other scenarios, we either face the threat of a gas shortage as early as December, or have low-level shortages at the end of the upcoming heating season,” Mueller said, describing current gas prices as “astronomically high.”
It’s not like the sanctions on Russia are stopping the Russians from achieving their goals in the Ukraine. On top of that, the sanctions are only bolstering their economy.
You’d think the Germans would reverse course on the sanctions, but I guess they just want their people to freeze to death for the Jewish values of the democratic homosexual anus.
Ultimately it probably doesn’t even matter what they do now. They’ve given the Russians no reason to play nice and provide them with the gas they need. The Russians could just close off all gas supplies to Europe right before the winter months. This would put Germany and the rest of the EU in a very difficult situation.
