In Germany, there’s been an election.

And The Reichstag is on fire - with a new cohort of AfD members . 

Will Keiser Merz see this as his opportunity to seize total control? 

After all, on Saturday, the incoming Chancellor decided that Germany can quote go it alone. Whatever that means. Is the real threat to European democracy about to come from besieged Christian Democrats? 

Meanwhile, what exactly is Donald Trump up to? In the past few weeks, America’s Sun King has sprayed the geopolitical flak a mile high. From Gaza-a-lago to dropping his piledriver on Zelensky. 

In four years everyone went from assuming him merely mad to assuming method in all his madness. Still, no one has yet discerned exactly what that method is.

Of course, this is a PayWall edition. So if you’re not feeding us coins, not only will you be left with a vague miasma of guilt, you’ll also be leaving us in 15 minutes time. 

That means leaving without 45 minutes of primo audio in which we reveal, plain as day, the TRUTH of Trump’s grand strategy. 

Would be a hard one to miss out on. You’d really feel kinda bummed.
