I sure do not want to ruin a happy Sunday, but I was ... sad to learn that this war now is another normal to most of you.
Like so many.
Here it is in the "news", in docus every day.
Maybe cause I know one (!) Ukrainian personally this goes to my heart, or maybe cause they are so near.
See...
This is a piece of the Berlin wall, from "our" side, the West...
I grew up in the crazyness. It was my normal.
Mostly. Until I "met" a couple in GDR via a helium-balloon with my address attached to it, as many schools did - we are one people after all, we learned as kids, too, and I grew up pretty close to the "frontier" to East Germany.
All pics from yesterday, this is "Platz der Deutschen Einheit".
Why is there war?
Look, this we see in our news.. "news"...
"The Russians" have no influence on what is happening. But look:
The dentist said... "we might or will survive, but mentally we will be broken".
You worked hard your whole life and then this:
And here I sit. At my private PC, two monitors, just made some yummy food.
Seven steps to my back four monitors to work with.
Drinking water? Just go to the kitchen and open the tap!
Germany just helps bit by bit cause that new Chancellor is a whimp.
Makes one sick. Promises given, not brought.
I have no words other than I admire how strong the Ukrainian people fight and fight the madness.
What will be left when "the Russians" leave?
They WILL leave, I am positive there is no "back to the USSR"!
We need to be free.
How did you see all this coming? I really would like to know,
Big Russia eating up just another country?
If some Russian person reads along... I do know it´s but Put#n!!
Russian people are nice guys, Ingo works with "them", I met "some", too.
I am "German" - every country has a dark side in history.
And here goes (shortcuts to the essential):
Book here.

Let the stupid end, please.
No fences - they are just the beginning (#BerlinWall)
Addendum: "Funny" how the top of the Berlin wall blends in with the building behind it.
It gets kinda "scary"...

It is terrible and yet it seems as if there is less and less attention for it. I notice that I regularly skip the news on television, although I still read newspapers. I have a feeling of guilt
The "news" seem to be the same day after day. Covid, war, heating costs. Costs. costs and costs. Burning places all over.
No wonder we get bored.
Putin deserves a painful death.
...I remember when the Berlin wall and the daily attempts to escape where on the TV news everynight. Now Ukraine is on the news now and then. This world continues to be gripped by madness.
William, I so agree.

Tom, yes. Madness does not stop...
I read each sentence slowly. Looked at each picture carefully to understand its meaning...... That picture of the old lady filling up water...... after all these years living on this earth, this is what she has to do to survive.
If we look back, all wars happened due to the stupidity/greed of some individual leader and the common man suffers.
My comment about your drawing of the hula girl disappeared. Hope this comment goes through. As for war, let the hate stop! Notice that it's Men who start the war, not Women.
Watching the news. Just makes you want to cry. So much senseless violence and destruction. As to Ukraine, it will take generations for them to rebuild.
Putin will lose!! The faster the better.
The war when it first started was in the news here every day and people were appalled, now it's hardly ever on, so sad because Ukraine still needs support.
Everyplace has there dark history. There things happening in my area I would compare to Nazi Europe.
Coffee is and stay safe
I did not "see this coming" and when I first heard the news last February I was so upset. Every day I cried. I am still upset, but no longer cry and don't listen to the news much anymore, it is too upsetting to see Russia still attacking. And they agreed (signed a treaty?) to let the grain be loaded and shipped, then just hours after, they bombed the Odesa port where the silos are! I wish it could all be over.
Will it end if Putin dies? Or will his Generals keep the war going?
