RuSSland ist ein TerrorSStaat.
In Kyjiw bekommt es die nächsten Tage lebensgefährdende Temperaturen. Viele Wohnungen sind unbeheizt. Kinder, Kranke, alte Menschen. Und Russland greift weiterhin die ukrainische Energieinfrastruktur an. Wie kann es da in Europa noch immer Menschen geben, die Russland verteidigen?

Russia is failing on the battlefield,
so it is trying to weaponise winter.
The EU is responding with the biggest ever winter aid package.
Just today, we provided an extra 500 generators and €50 million for energy support.

Russian propagandists rejoice at the strikes on Ukraine's energy infrastructure, urging not to stop and to finish what has been started.
"What is happening with the energy sector is an indicator of effectiveness. We mustn't stop now," one of the propagandists said.

We have to see the logic of the killings as well as the killings themselves. The horror is a truth in itself. But it is also a sign of a political logic, one known from the totalitarian regimes of the twentieth century.

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Thank you Max, you're 100% right. Ukraine, a country of 39 million, manages to hold back Russia since four years (and counting). But the EU, with it's 450 million citizens and all it's economic power cannot? Complete and utter bogus. It's a question of determination and willpower, not of capacity!
Please. This is absurd. Europe can certainly deter Russia and defend itself if its focused and determined. Perpetuating a sense of European helplessness may help Rutte bureaucratically but its 1. wrong 2. prevents action. 3. willfully blind: the US ain't coming to defend Europe.
“If anyone thinks here… that the European Union or Europe as a whole can defend itself without the US, keep on dreaming,” Nato SecGen Mark Rutte told the European Parliament. “You can’t.”
“It will make things more complicated. I think Putin will love it. So think again.”

In the early 1930s the SA was roughing people up, creating chaos in neighborhoods, seeking to terrorize with the occasional killing. By the late 1930s it had been supplanted by the SS, which was much better trained.
Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.
