āAll right, all of you out! There are white people who need these facilities!ā

The decision was made by Berlinās Senate Department for Integration, Labor, and Social Services, arguing that it was ābased on operationally necessary and difficult considerationsā and that there was no alternative because Ukrainians, including many women with children, needed a roof over their heads and a bed.
āWe regret that this caused additional hardships to the Afghan families [and that] the affected people had to move out of their familiar surroundings and now possibly have to keep up with their social connections with great difficulty,ā said Stefan Strauss, the departmentās press secretary. He said Berlin had a total of 83 different accommodations for refugees, already housing some 22,000 people, but that arriving Ukrainians needed to be consolidated to a few defined arrival centers to simplify processing. Strauss said evicted Afghans were given other āpermanentā accommodation of equivalent quality, excluding shared bathrooms and kitchens.

Not going to argue, just to mention: the author could be a native German speaker (Siebold is a German surname). āDeportationā is a truly harrowing word for Germanophones. As in: WƤhrend des dritten Reichs wurden Juden aus ganz Europa in Konzentrationslager und weiter in die Vernichtungslager deportiert.

I think itās partly far right blaming Biden for being weak, enabling Putin. And partly the far left who see anything America is involved in as imperialism.

Iāve read many accounts of Putinās failing health,
though many of the same insinuations have been leveled against Clinton and Biden, so it may just be wishful thinking.

He looks like heās going to slump and collapse in that chair any moment, unless he squeezes the table constantly. Shoigu, whoās supposedly had a couple of recent heart attacks, looks far more healthier than Putin does!
