    Yeah, this far-right AfD which is heavily supported by China and Russia. And another point is that attacks by hackers with ties to the Russian state also contributed to the drop in Germany.

      Yeah really unfortunate. They have these disinformation campaigns and try to empower the nastiest politicians to destabilize our society. Then they spy on other politicians, there’s cyberattacks, they burn down our DHL logistics facilities, sabotage natural gas reserves and do whatever they can do. There was something with marine ships and we’re still not sure about a plethora of things. For example who occasionally cuts those glass fibre cables to sabotage the trains and then all commuters can’t get to work. They spread terror and all of this is in fact effective. And then of course Putin wages war and forces us to spend a large pile of money on the military, weapon systems and all the nasty stuff and I always like to believe there’s better things to invest in than death machinery. But hey.
