1391. My Heart Cries Out and My Temper Shows
Being born and raised post WW2 (late baby-boomer it seems) - a father that fought that war and a mother that lived it in invaded zone in France - I got to learn along the years how cruel, ominous and devastating it has been among the European countries and most of all their people.
That picture indeed reminds me, among others, of the infamous Nuremberg Trial documentary. Documentaries that SHOULD still be used as educational material in colleges and high schools.
As individuals raised in countries 'at peace' we can hardly fathom the desperation felt by all these people fleeing the horrors of death and destruction that are bestowed upon their lives by an invading army of barbarians.
We MUST welcome them survivors.
Our leaders MUST take actions and provide Ukraine with the necessary means to fight and reappropriate their country, their land and their homes.
I approve of the former Prime Minister from Finland Alexander Stubb when he says Finland should quickly join the OTAN, implying that the OTAN ought to be willing to act accordingly to what we now are facing: the beginning of a World War. The third.
And we mustn't be fooled: Putin will never lend an ear to any kind of peace middle-ground.
Medvedev said it himself: they now aim at eradicating the Ukrainians and what their resisting and independence spirit represents. Meaning that Poland will most probably be the next step in the Russian war against the so-called 'Western decadence', which will obviously involve the whole Europe.
Yes, these autocrats are going that far into the foolish grandeurs. And to them the means are just cannon fodder, and it goes from conscripted soldiers (mostly uneducated/untrained countryside poor people) to women and their children.
So yes - again - we are facing what our (grand) parents faced: barbarism on its way, ready to march one border to the next no matter the costs, least of all people’s lives. For the sole purpose of pleasing a paranoid maniac.
Does this ring a bell?
