Probably now the german helmets would be useful, but Germany just delayed the delivery and it's still on their way.. Maybe DHL can send it directly to Moskow. https://www.businessinsider.com/helmets-germany-offered-ukra...


can you imagine that in your city? When I think about Berlin, I can just laugh.



I'm more thinking on Berlin today. Would our government give automatic weapons to abou-chaker clan? To right wing groups? The Osmanen or any other biker group? That wouldn't work.


Lets hope it wont be like that in Berlin in couple of months down the line.


Hope but we have to demand from the politicians decisions that move us away from the conflict, not towards the conflict.


I am fully in agreement.

Being a child from the 70s, having had family in the colonial wars, and the whole cold war, followed by Balkans war, I have a bad sense about all of this.

Still lets hope it gets sorted out without going that far.


The only way away now from the conflict is towards it.


Would be pathetic to see Scholz running away and Lindner and Habeck together with Ödemir leading our troops


Yeah, but that is the big difference between modern warfare and the ancient ones.

The leaders aren't in the frontline among their soldiers leading the charge, rather seat comfortable at home kilometres away issuing orders.

That makes a big difference how decisions are taken.


That's normally an issue when politicians do not have a "regular life". Like Gerald Schröder, 5 ex wives, no kids, you can imagine what kind of person he is...


Yep.


Not sure if it’s wise to give civilians weapons without giving them uniforms.
