We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
The harsh truth is that both conservatives AND social democrats in Germany were misguided and naive.
How far gone do you have to be to actually have the gall to criticise conscription in the face of invasion from an army like Russian?
"They can just flee!"
Aye, good to luck to them with that. 44 million people can just move house, problem solved. Its that easy.

They would have been among the first ones to leave their respective countries.
Negotiations mean the opportunity for a cease fire. Zelensky plays along, because why not. Talks are fine and mean nothing.
Should it come to them I expect Putin to make unrealistic demands anyway, just to be able to shout:"I tried, but they want war."
Hopefully we never find out, and hopefully if we do I'm wrong.
UN resolution deploring invasion vetoed – as it happened
Reports say artillery rounds and large blasts were heard in Ukrainian capital; Russia vetoes UN resolution deploring invasion of Ukraine

You're right. I can't see many doing it.
Vitali is also one of the greatest boxers of all time and would not be someone you want to meet in hand to hand combat.
Oh absolutely especially considering that Schröder came before Merkel and we all know how that turned out. I'm just saying we wasted 2 decades of opportunity.
It's fascinating that even Merkel's handpicked successor Kramp-Karrenbauer has been venting very publicly on twitter how much they fucked it up concerning Russia. I hope more politicians will follow.
And he's wealthy and famous
Easily someone who could go anywhere and live free and comfortable
Anti civilian death squads.
Also probably why this footage is being released now.
To scare civilians.
You can add everyone else, too. FDP wants lower energy prices, Greens are mixed but push for renewables, less coal and nuclear basically makes it much harder, Left generally is for good relations with Russia and AfD basically sees them as a rolemodel.
So Putin wants to negotiate directly with Ukraine, while they're bombing their cities and taking over their country.
Makes sense since the rest of the world has fled the Ukraine and refuse to help them fight back.
I would not be shocked if Zelesnky considers talks at this point. It's lose-lose for Ukraine at this point. Most he can do is stop the killings of his civilians and just give Russia the whole country.

Fuck that's terrible, and I'm reading that they are actual veterans, hopefully the weapons Ukrainians need to defend themselves arrive in time.
He doesn't seem like the surrendering type. Tough MFA is still in Kyiv.
Besides, he would be tried for treason if he delivers what Putin ultimately wants
How is this in any way surprising? The Muhajideen, from which members of the Taliban come from, fought a long and bloody war against the Soviet union after the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan. Naturally they'd be against Russia on this.
As said. Signaling that you are willing to talk is fine. It gives you the chance of a cease fire.
I don't expect anything coming out of talks between Putin and Zelesnky anyway.
Itnwould be precisely what happened in Georgia. Zelensky has no good options. Frankly, I think he has held out in the face of aggression startlingly well. But the Russians are making it clear they are setting up a terror campaign against civilians now, probably to make up for the poor performance of their military efforts.
What can anyone do in the face of that?
Exactly.
I believe his brother Wladimir is fighting too. Both could be anywhere else in the world living the high life.
So Putin wants to negotiate now, I don't believe it. Can someone update me Ukraine is still holding strong and Russia is taking losses?
Yeah it's clear they want to break Ukrainians spirits so expect all kinds of horrific shit to start being shown.
By the looks of the the Russians are making ground but the Ukrainians are putting up one hell of a fight. Proper David vs Goliath situation.
Would have thought they'd be too greedy to skip a GP.
Is hard to know for sure, fog of war an all that. But something that I think is clear is that the fighting is closer and closer to kyiv within each update...
Ukraine is holding better than expected, Russia's military is winning, but it's performed extremely poorly, failing to meet its targets on time and taking larger losses than expected to a military smaller and comparatively underequipped.
Russia does not do cease fires. I mean they will do "cease fires" but they wil not cease to fire.
Russians are advancing in the northwest towards kyiv but don't seem to be able to breakthrough the northeast towards kyiv. There are reports of major armor losses for the russians in the northeast
For some added context here I'll repeat from last night that minister of finance Lindner said yesterday evening that he was not convinced that kicking Russia out of SWIFT would hurt them all that much and he thought Russia probably already has something ready to replace it.
(not saying I agree - just elaborating the government's reasoning)
If the UK were ever in the same position as Ukraine right now you wouldn't have a choice either, the UK government would also enforce conscription and do their best to prevent you from leaving. It's entirely reasonable to say you don't think it's right to do, but that doesn't really make much of a difference once it's put into place (which the vast majority of countries would do).
"Luckily" we are privileged enough not to worry about it since we have the threat of nuclear weapons in our favour - if it ever came down to surrendering or nukes we'd probably take the whole world out with us.
True, could be wartime propaganda for morale. But that's the line British intelligence took towards the end of yesterday.
Not sure. Don't speak either language so i don't have much exposure.
That's shit reasoning and nothing else than a bad excuse.
I'm glad I lost my citizenship, fuck you german government.
