Prisoners of war
Today I listened to some interviews with Russian POWs. One thing has to be said right now, no Russian should ever again accuse Germans of war crimes! What these Russians will commit again in 2022 should actually no longer be possible — especially after the experiences of the Second World War.
In this regard, there are repeated calls for the Russian victors' monuments to be dismantled in Germany. I think this is wrong. But we should cover all these monuments until the Russian Federation has returned to the circle of civilized countries and has at least started paying reparations for the crimes committed against humanity.
And until then, like Christo, we should cover all these monstrous monuments in Berlin and elsewhere and decorate them with peace doves and LGBT + Pride flags.
That would be a real and meaningful peace sign!
Berlin's Putin fans will know how to prevent it, just as they prevented our monument for democracy in Berlin — which hardly anyone remembers by now.
Opposition
The fact that the opposition is currently firing on all cylinders would actually be desirable and would only be beneficial to democracy. If it weren't for the fact that the opposition, as a key part of the government, set the house on fire and is now preventing the fire brigade from putting it out.
You can see that very well at the moment in the case of the Bundeswehr. This was destroyed by the SPD and the Greens for purely ideological reasons. The Union, on the other hand, saw the Bundeswehr as a very good opportunity to enrich itself - similar to the well-known mask deals. And all parties were all of the same opinion that the defense budget can be used very well to further strengthen social budgets. The overexploitation of the Bundeswehr is still a matter of state today.
And from the outset it was also decided that if things went wrong, the Bundeswehr itself would be responsible - all parties did a very good job on this. Remember, until recently all soldiers could still be legally defamed as potential murderers!
The Bundeswehr is a shambles, and the military leadership (not the politicians!) is currently trying to keep the Bundeswehr more or less operational in order to be able to offer a little resistance against the Russian Federation and its allies, at least until the real military, e.g the Americans, Canadians, Australians and British rush to help.
You can call those responsible by their names! Not only did they dumbly earn their money as defense ministers and serve their own clientele, but they also happily tampered through all the media as holders of command and authority. Especially when German soldiers were sacrificed completely senseless for Germany: Hans Apple (SPD), Manfred Worner (CDU), Rupert Scholz (CDU), Gerhard Stoltenberg (CDU), Volker Ruehe (CDU), Rudolf scharping (SPD), Peter Struck (SPD), Franz Joseph Jung (CDU), Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg (CSU), Thomas de Maiziere (CDU), Ursula von der Leyen (CDU), Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer (CDU) and Christine Lambert (SPD).
Since military changes are measured in ten-year increments, we can state that today's opposition - the CDU - bears the main responsibility for the catastrophic state of the Bundeswehr and the non-defense capability of the Federal Republic of Germany!
And hardly dares a responsible general to explain to us Germanswhy you shouldn't do certain things - especially in the current situation - a representative of the opposition comes around the corner and attacks this general in public (but only because he knows very well that there are no Bundeswehr soldiers opposite may resist politics!).
If the Union really wants to make opposition for the good of Germany, then it would be time for them to admit their crimes and, as a first measure, to bring all their living defense ministers to justice.
Until then, the bullies among the CDU MPs could just try to act for the good of Germany and support those citizens who now have to try to pull us out of the mess. Unfortunately, however, these are probably still only concerned with securing further income by offering them to the gun lobby.
Neckar locks
Today we can read in the Heilbronn voice (April 21.04.2022, 1: 1) that the federal government is distancing itself from expanding the locks. In times when the mountains of debt continue to rise and parliaments and authorities continue to be enlarged and the largest possible social budgets are declared the number one national goal, it is not surprising that there is no more money for defense, education and infrastructure.
We have run our country down and are now shying away from the expenses necessary to get it going again. However, it is wrong to blame the federal government alone. On the one hand, its resolutions and decisions are also supported by our people's representatives — I can only address them here Frankenbahn remember — and on the other hand, the state, districts and municipalities themselves very happily refuse to fulfill their very own tasks, e.g. there is hardly any road construction (e.g tower road) without subsidies “from above”.
So I'm still a little pleased to be able to read another message in the Heilbronner Voice (21.04.2022/5/XNUMX: XNUMX). This message says: "The Department of Transportation is increasing funding for the construction and rehabilitation of roads and municipal bridges in the Southwest. 81 projects with a volume of around 217 million euros have been included in the funding program for the current year.Because this gives hope that at least the Ministry of Transport has recognized that things cannot go on like this.
The really dangerous thing about this development is that without a functioning infrastructure and with uneducated fellow citizens, our social budgets will soon no longer be able to be maintained. What do our politicians do then? The usual way out in such situations would be war.
A good solution is to think about the need for all infrastructure and then adapt it to the actual circumstances and remind those responsible of their tasks again. So it would only be logical that a district, if it considers a district road to be necessary, also maintains it itself. Simply “wanting to have” and “ask others to pay” has never been a recipe for success.
message of the day
This comes from the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung today and reads: "Germany prepares ring exchange for arms deliveries(FAZ, April 21.04.2022, 11.30: XNUMX:XNUMX a.m.). They still exist, the somewhat more reasonable politicians! I recently mentioned this possibility in a post.
birthday of the day
