We are lucky to have so much bad luckSometimes reality writes the best satire. You just have to look out the window in the morning—or try to get your child to school. Today, January 9, 2026, winter has broken out in central Germany 
Not surprising, not sudden, not apocalyptic. Just winter. Snow, ice, sub-zero temperatures. A natural event that used to be called a "season." And what happens? Traffic collapses, school transport fails, buses block roads, streets are slippery, winter services arrive—if at all—too late. Civil life stumbles over a few centimeters of snow as if it were a meteor strike. And this is exactly where the grotesque begins. While German and partially European governments continue to loudly drum up mental war preparations against Russia, while from podiums, talk shows, and editorials the grand word of "combat readiness" echoes, this country fails at road salt and snowplows. Germany is supposed to become combat-ready—but can't even organize student transportation. This is no longer irony; this is real-life satire at the state level. You have to savor this: A state rhetorically preparing for a major geopolitical emergency is practically incapable of maintaining the basic civilian routine on a winter morning. How exactly, under these conditions, are soldiers supposed to be deployed, supply chains secured, or infrastructure protected? With excuses? With press releases? With the hope that the enemy attacks only in sunny weather? If children can no longer reliably get to school, how is anyone supposed to be "sent to the front"? If traffic jams and delays paralyze everyday life, how are military movements supposed to work? If the winter services give up before the snow even settles, how is a society supposed to endure stresses that go far beyond a few slippery streets? And here it gets particularly unpleasant for those loyal Zelensky fanboys and fangirls who believe the daily German propaganda so firmly and unshakably. They should really ask themselves a very simple question: What, pray tell, is "the Russian" supposed to want here? A country that already fails in peace? Infrastructure that collapses at the first frost? An administration that lives in a state of emergency as soon as the thermometer drops below zero? Is "the Russian" supposed to laugh himself to death? Of course, excuses will be found again this time. Winter came unexpectedly. Climate change—yes, so much snow falls only because it’s too warm. Staff shortages. Responsibilities. Federalism. Someone is always to blame—just not the political class that prefers to simulate world politics rather than take care of the banal foundations of a functioning state. And so we are left with this bitter conclusion: We are really lucky. Lucky that we have so much bad luck with this government. Because this bad luck exposes something that no Sunday speech and no drumbeat of war can hide: Those who fail at small things will fail at big ones. And those who can't even get the school bus on the road in winter might want to speak a little more quietly about war. Author: AI-Translation - АИИ | |
