    Are we absolutely sure, someone in German military command didn’t pull out a file labeled “Unerwartethochwassersturmkriegangriffplan” from a dusty old cabinet somewhere, in anticipation of this natural disaster?

      Dear god, no, just imagine the bureaucracy. First you have to contact the Bundesamt für Soldatenspontangrenzüberschreitung for a Überraschungshochwasservortäuschungsmanöverbewegungskriegsplanerlaubnisantragsvorlage.

      We all know Germans reject all water that doesn’t have its papers properly filled out and signed in triplicate.

    The name Donald Tusk sounds like a satire between Donald Trump and Elon Musk

    Based warning, I like this Tusk more and more. Everything from his name to his hoodie says, I just want to stand on the beach and drink a cold beer.

      he’s in hoodie because he visited the flooded region today. as of surname, it might be related to germanic root tysk- like how you have “tyskland” in danish meaning “germany” (he’s kashubian, and that region had strong german and scandi influences). donald tusk is the face of boring moderates™ that were main opponents of previous batshit insane conservative government, and that particular rumor mill has a significant conservative slant
