“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

Diary of Anne Frank
January 13, 1943

It’s not just that this is puerile and lawless. It’s that it is completely out of touch with the issues relevant to contemporary warfare. Russia fights like this. It makes Russians criminals. But it doesn’t make them winners.

Immer auch für uns selbst.

Irgendwann sollte jemand erforschen, wie aus einer feministischen Zeitschrift eine Dreckschleuder für ekelhafteste Kreml-Propaganda wurde. New low selbst für #Emma: der Genozid Russlands (UN-Konvention 1948, Artikel II, e) in der Ukraine wird zum humanitären Akt umgedeutet.

Travel bans will dramatically increase the difficulty for russia for everything from espionage to sanctions busting to influence ops. It won’t by itself end those but it will cost them time, effort and money. That’s a good start.
They already attack us with every hybrid warfare technique there is.

Ich war letzten September auf einer Konferenz in Ljubljana. Es war so wohltuend, keine Autos um sich zu haben und überall hinlaufen zu können. Es gibt auch einen Elektrobus in der Innenstadt für Leute, die nicht so weit gehen können.

Ljubljana sollte Schule machen!

On its terrorist schedule, russia yet again attacked sleeping Kharkiv, launching nine drones and two missiles into a civilian area. The attack lasted an hour and a half. One man was wounded. One of the drones fell, unexploded, in a city park.

As for not realistic, this is because of the succesfull russian propaganda of invincible russia.

In reality, russian army is a joke compared to its size and fame. It has only reached a stalemate against the former military dwarf Ukraine.

Add 5 West European armies to UAF, and russia will crumble.

Please define exit strategy in our context.

It is clear from what I said that as soon as russia is forced into an acceptable (for Ukraine!) peace, hostilities will cease.

Isn't that enough strategy, call it exit, victory or whatever?

True. This is why I said Germany, France, UK, Finland and Sweden, and not NATO.

Why do you think that it was possible three years ago, but not now? What has changed, except that russia has become weaker?

The realistic scenario is to hinder russia to advance one more centimeter (minimum aim) or to kick it out of Ukraine (medium aim) or to force it into unconditioned surrender (maximum aim).

There is no need for an exit strategy.

So ist es.

Wars are not declared anymore for decades, almost for a century. What I advocate is sending troops to Ukraine to help the Ukrainians defend their land. Then if russia does things, we also do things.

Yeah, it's called 'fear of russia'. That's ridiculous. Anyway, Ukraine is in war with russia for three years now. Let's go to war with russia. Where is the problem?

But this is not a good one.

I don't want to be provocative, but this question is very stupid.

Yeah, but the question was if there are good reasons for such a behaviour, and I think there are none. It's just mimimi.

Good question, clear answer: There is no good reason. We need to send British, French, German, Finnish and Swedish troops to Ukraine. And quickly.

No, there is no good reason. I think the Ukrainian constitution requires some conditions for the deployment of foreign troops on Ukrainian soil, but this should be solvable.

And as for bad reasons against, there is only one. Unfounded fear.

Next elections in Germany are in 4 years. Why should Merz lose in 2029 when pushing the invaders out of Ukraine in 2025? More courage is needed.

Why political suicide? You mean they would lose their next elections? They might be in 1, 2, 3, 4 years, depending on the country. If prior to that day, russia would surrender, it might well be a landslide victory.

Es gibt zu viele negative News, deswegen poste ich jeden Tag eine #guteNewsdesTages.

AfD macht Angst: Mehrheit der Deutschen fürchtet sich vor der Partei Die AfD spaltet das Land! Während die Rechtsaußen-Partei rund ein Viertel der Wähler anzieht, hat eine deutliche Mehrheit sogar Angst.

Laut ARD-Deutschlandtrend fürchten sich 62% der Bevölkerung in Deutschland vor der AfD.

Leider werden die Ängste besorgter Bürger hierzulande nur ernst genommen, wenn sie rechtsradikal sind.
