Der Winter...ist kein Problem.
The Germans started and lost a world war, endured record hyperinflation, started and lost another disastrous world war, endured the division of its territory, and are once again Europe's strongest economy.
Never underestimate Teutonic resolve.

Her research was going to take her to Leipzig in the east where she would do a deep dive into the roots of Germany’s “Far Right” misfits that are simply right-leaning populists who are routinely smeared in the German corporate press as “fascists”.

In fact, every government that isn’t a wholly owned subsidiary of the Liberal World Order in the former communist bloc are all smeared as “Far Right”, or “dangerous anti-democratic populists” or “fascists” by the western corporate state press. This includes Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, Czechia, Romania, and Bulgaria. However, people in these countries are capable of laughing off the absurd accusations, while the accusation of “fascist” in Germany tends to reflexively result in compliance and self-censorship.

Damn, that’s an impressive article. I wish I could disagree with any of it.

This coming winter will bring challenges the bloc has never weathered, and like much of the past few years, it may all be completely by design. Until June of this year Russian natural gas supplied a third of Germany’s energy. Having opted out of clean and efficient nuclear energy for the green agenda, Germany had planned on replacing those lost kilowatt hours with more cheap Russian natural gas via a second Nord Stream pipeline.

But virtue signaling support for Nazis in Ukraine requires abandoning a national energy policy that was decades in the making. Poland is also eager to jump on the EU energy suicide train. As with Swedes, Poles have been reared from birth to accept anything if they think they’re getting the better of Russians (or Germans).

The new national energy plan in Poland is to burn more poor-quality Polish coal instead of buying cheap and less sulfur-rich Russian coal but they will never make up the difference in the three months between now and winter, so the government is shopping for coal on the international market.
