@saba6502 Hello Saba, SaBa here "gg". Just saw your answer to the other person, yes, you're correct about that ! Hopefully we don't get mixed up by other people, in case they don't look at our Icons. Greetings from Germany 😉

@thegreatdane3627 None so far, typical BS talk 😉 Germany is getting ready for green hydrogen ... Have a look at the "green hydrogen coast line", a project run by the Netherlands, Danmark, Germany 😉 Greetings to Danmark from Germany

@thegreatdane3627 Yup! And at Emden (Lower Saxony/ East Frisia) they will built a huge green hydrogen production plant as well. It's on a good way! We'll make it 😉

@cyberfunk3793 All of this was put up after 1945, it's called "power split" to prevent dictatorships. The situation you mentioned (President against Chancelor), which never happened before/yet, it can be sorted by the Federal Constitution High Court. As you were stating, that "the President could sent an army into war, but the Chancelor doesn't want it", sorry, but it doesn't work like that !! Germany has a Parliament Army, that means, that the following institutions have to confirm anything to do with soldiers, armery: the Federal Defense Commitee, the Federal Parliament, the Federal Upper House, the Federal President, the Federal Chancelor, so that never ever just one person in Gvt can start a war by sending the army to somewhere. And there it is again: power split. Greetings from the Federal Republic of Germany 😉

@Mudireddy First of all it's Cosco, which only bought 24.9% of one of the smallest terminals at Hamburg ports. Therefor no say about the management/ politics/ decisions made at Hamburg ports. It's a common issue for huge shipping companies to buy parts of an terminal, like Maersk, MSC, DFDS or others. Btw, Cosco also bought parts of terminals at Rotterdam, Antwerp, LeHavre, Bilbao, Valencia, Pyreaus and 10 other EU ports and lots more world wide.

@johanvangelderen6715 Not really, normally the temperatures would be down to 2-10 C, therefor until now no heating is needed. Saving nat gas ....

@johanvangelderen6715 We will, don't worry. The houses in the North of the EU are mostly very well insulated, and here, where I live (Bremen), we didn't have snow since 2011/2012. We're thinking positive, the Ukraine people are much worse. Greetings to Portland/ Oregon from Bremen/ Germany/ EU

@HarveySpecteSuits The Nato partners are there all along the Eastern Nato border to protect exactly those Nato countries, that's the only language Putin seems to understand recently. Don't know your age, but I can tell you, that while the wall was still up (and I was living in Berlin West at that time), that there were more or less miltary threatening all the time, showing "your muscles/military power", just as a "reminder" towards the other side to keep calm. Together we are strong ! Greetings from Germany 😉

@Tony Fei 1. The Federal President is the head of the State, it's the "moral instance" and for representation and certain laws have to be signed by him as well and he can stop bills from becoming laws, if they don't go along with the German Constitution. So he has power, but a bit different. 2. The Speaker of the Federal Parliament (Bundestag). 3. The Federal Chancelor is the head of the Gvt. As Germany is Federal (16 Federal States) there is the Bundestag (Federal Parliament) and the Bundesrat (Federal Upper House), where the 16 Federal State Ministers are in. Some laws have to be confirmed not only by the Parliament, but also by the Federal Upper House (Bundesrat). Greetings from Germany

@Vatnik_tschistilka Oops forgot that one, thanks for the info 😉

@cyberfunk3793 Whatever you believe ..... LOL Interesting, that you're such an expert, while Germany is running on this "power split" system smoothly since 1945. Btw, it WAS possible in the 1930s, as there was a "gap/ missing part" in the Constitution of the Weimar Republic, which allowed the Chancelor, to "delete" the Parliament, this is, what H used, most of MPs got killed, H changed the laws to his and his "bad buddies" will, the rest is known :-((( Btw, there is no war in Germany or in the EU and it's Allies/Nato, haven't you recognised?! Forgot to say, as you mentioned "international confusions" LOL. Don't you think, that on the "political stage" all involved people know the titles/functions of their International partners, oh, not to forget: the politicians of a country are talking to each other like the Chancelor with the President and Parliament. All of them are in daily cooperation. Strange idea of politics you have ....

@cyberfunk3793 The difference between US election system and the power the US president has against the German system is huge: US President CAN sent the army into war without even having to ask the Parliament. In Germany it will be like that (Parliament Army, written in the German Constitution): the Federal Defense Commitee, the Federal Parliament (Bundestag), the Federal Upper House Parliament (Bundesrat), the Federal President and the Federal Chancelor HAVE TO CONFIRM before anything will happen with the Federal Army. US election system is also not helpful: "one voice system/ one gets all", not RP, which spreads the power much better and involves the elected parties much better. The US have more or less an "two party system", which are continiusly blocking/ hindering each other. Germany has RP, which shows much better the vote of the people. Again: power split is working and nobody gets confused 😉

@cyberfunk3793 Why are you so obsessed about war?! If you like war so much, then go where the war is.

@gwendolinkirkegaard1812 Germany has a Parliament Army, written in the German Constitution, everything to do with soldiers, military/ armery has to be confirmed by the following institutions: the Federal Defense Commitee, the Parliament, the Upper House (of Parliament, the Federal President, the Federal Chancelor. All of this was installed after 1945, so never again just one Gvt person can start military action/ war. It's also written in the German Constitution, that no armery gets sent into war areas, including German armery which had been sold to other countries, that also has to be confirmed by the same institutions as written before. Therefor it was a huge concern and big step for Germany and the German's. Greetings from Germany 😉

@gwendolinkirkegaard1812 Thanks, yes, I answered first of all for correct Information, but also refering to your origin comment, that German politicians are afraid of their own people. And that was my answer to that is: nope, its the conditions coming with the Constitution, but also the huge concerns of us Germans because of our history ! Heavy/ lots discussions all over Germany incl the Parliament about delivering armery/yes/no. You can't "switch" to exactly the opposit that quick, when you've been in that "other" modus for 77 years. But the "mind change happened", and that's the most important thing ! Greetings from Germany 😉

@javaInter You're very welcome ! Yeah, difficult times we're in. With international trade it's such a thing, without it, we wouldn't have that much wealth as a country. It's like a "ride on a sword". As far as I know the EU wants to do oil sanctions from next year on, but then again: there is always one, who uses the "popping up chance" for himself (country). It seems to be a "human issue".

@chessnut4886 That's called solidarity and therefor France will support Germany with nat gas. Win win.
1
@chessnut4886 It wasn't only the former Gvt, but also (mostly) huge companies, like BASF, Siemens etc, which were (and are) involved in those nat gas deals. BASF for example had bought nat gas fields in Sibiria and built the needed infrastructure for it. Therefor the German industry was doing good businesses, lots of people had/have work. That's how capitalism works. Even with the New situation there are still huge companies, which ate investing more money etc for production plants in China. I don't like that either, but it looks like, that humans are "like that"/ greed. Btw, the EU/Germany will replace all fossil fuels (oil, coal, nat gas) with green hydrogen, the goal is focused on 2030-2045. The Netherlands, Danmark and Germany have the project "green hydrogen coast line", Fraunhofer Institute Bremerhaven is involved as well, all subsidiesed by the EU and Gvts. Hydrogen can be used as storage battery for the overloads from the offshore windmill parks and others. Lots of start ups are working on alternative storage possibilities as well. Daimler and Volvo Trucks as well as the Faun Group have developed hydrogen powered vehicles, which are already in use. Some weeks ago the world wide first 14 hydrogen powered trains (Alston) started their service in Lower Saxony/ Germany. The LNG terminals (recently being under construction) are convertable to hydrogen. Namibia and Germany will build the worlds largest solar park including production plants for green hydrogen and Ammoniac.

@Nordland Germany has 1. the Federal President is the head of Federal Germany, he is the moral instance and representing Germany (not like the Federal Minister of Federal Affairs - Annalena Baerbock, being in the recent Gvt), he can also block bills getting a law, if not going along with the German Constitution and certain laws have to be signed by him as well. 2. the Speaker of the Federal Parliament (Bundestag). 3. the Federal Chancelor is the head of the Gvt. Since 1945 Germany has the power split to prevent dictatorship.

@ST Wrong! Just 24.9 % of one of the smallest terminals at Hamburg ports. Therefor Cosco doesn't have a say about management/ decisions/ politics at Hamburg ports. Btw, it's a common issue, that huge shippings companies are buying parts of terminals in ports, like MSC, Maersk, DFDS or others. China/ Cosco has also bought terminals at Rotterdam, Antwerp, LeHavre, Bilbao, Valencia, Pyreaus and 10 other EU ports and all over the world. Get informed before posting.
