Can not be from Germany, as the green overlords have forced all of Germany to eat vegan.

25 pounder? 

Cops stopped someone with an old artillery gun he bought for 9k euros in Belgium.

OQF, 25 Pounder, looks like. The image seems to be squished in the vertical a bit.

As we know, German government is pretty much kil. 

What does one do when his government is kil? Usually elections, but apparently Germany has problems with paper:

 

Fortunately, Poland is ready to help:

 

 

German industry apparently claims there's enough paper though:

Looks like elections will have to wait a while. Organizational issue like a shortage of paper for the ballots. So says the Chairwoman of the federal election commission.

She was appointed by the interior secretary, who's from Scholz's party. Get's better, a day before she said it could be done, no problems. Then she got contacted.

 

The reasons for the election delaying action is money, money and prosecution.

In January a round of promotions beings in the bureaucracy, by the end of March they are done. So plenty of lucrative positions for loyal party soldiers.

For the politicians staying in office that long means they also get pensions for 2025.

And there's a proposed bill to cut red tape. Part of it would allow businesses to destroy records several years sooner. BTW, Scholz is involved in a tax evasion scandal called Cum - ex. Much evidence is likely to be destroyed if the bill gets passed.

WRT Polish aid: 

What I, a German really like about that shit post is that it comes from the oh so much hailed center left, not the evil conservatives. It's like even the Polish left doesn't like the German left that likes the Polish left

And to think, this from the country who had everyone shitting their pants twice in the last century.

Seems like re-education worked and such obviously sick persons are no longer disposed off in camps.

Based American zoomer girl vs cringe German justice system

Quote

In Germany, a case from June 2024 is being revisited. A 20-year-old American woman has been charged with causing bodily harm resulting in death after stabbing an Eritrean citizen in the heart area at the Kaiserslautern train station who was grabbing her buttocks on an escalator. According to the prosecutor's office, the line of self-defense was crossed because the harasser had already started to withdraw after exchanging words, but was still fatally wounded.

When I was stationed there in the mid 1980's there was a sharp divide between the War generation, and the post war generation.  Those pre war types were down right scary tough, the post war types, not so much.
