Je nach Quelle haben die Ukrainer in der ersten Woche ihrer Offensive nicht nur große Teile der westlichen Waffen, sondern auch 3.000 bis 5.000 Soldaten verloren. Während deutsche Medien dies unter dem Argument relativieren, Verluste gehörten halt zum Krieg und Russlands demoralisierte Armee werde nun unter Kosten von Material und Menschenleben hinfortgefegt, verweisen pro-russische Kommentatoren darauf, dass der Ukraine bei dieser „selbstmörderischen“ Kriegsführung bereits in zwei bis drei Wochen nicht nur die Waffen und die Munition, sondern auch das menschliche „Kanonenfutter“ ausgehen wird.

Die derzeitigen Parteien sind ein Haufen Fliegen, der Schiss vor der Klatsche hat
(4. Juni 2018)
Der Herr hat seinen Fliegen sein “Europa” versprochen, wo sie Wahlen, Demokratie und den Willen der Menschen nicht mehr fürchten und ebenso umständlich wie geschätzig aussitzen müssen, sondern sich gleich auf den geplagten Leibern der dann in alle Ewigkeit festgeschnallten Menschen gemütlich machen können.
Was hilft da besser als ein neuer umgekehrter Fliegenfänger, ein weiterer Fänger der Fliegen, an dem statt den Fliegen wieder die Wähler.innen kleben bleiben und sich ein paar Dekaden später wieder mit großen roten Augen fragen, “ja was machen die denn mit uns? Ja was hat mir denn die Großmutter erzählt?”
Zum Teufel mit eurem “Europa”, ihr Blutsauger! Und zum Teufel mit eurer “politischen Klasse”! Der wird am Ende nur das bleiben, was wir gegen sie verteidigt haben. Und Geschichten von der “guten alten Zeit” mit noch einem Weltkrieg und noch mehr Kapitalismus.

France, Germany and Poland back Ukraine’s counteroffensive in a show of unity
The leaders of France, Germany and Poland met in Paris Monday for talks focusing on military support for Ukraine’s counteroffensive and future security guarantees to be given to the country, ahead of a NATO summit in July.
Ukraine in NATO Is a Bad Idea
Ukraine’s accession could have far-reaching consequences for regional stability and international relations. It is important to recognize the delicate geopolitical balance in Eastern Europe, where Russia has historically viewed NATO‘s expansion as a direct threat to its security interests. Indeed, perceptions around NATO’s 2008 declaration that Ukraine and Georgia would become members of the alliance were used to drum up support for the war in Georgia, the 2014 seizure of Crimea, and the war in Ukraine today. Feeding into Russia’s paranoia won’t alleviate it—it will only encourage further backlash.
Polish President Pushes for Ukraine‘s NATO Membership At Paris Talks
„Ukraine is waiting for an unambiguous signal regarding a clear prospect of membership in NATO,“ Duda said on June 12 after a meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in Paris. The tripartite meetings involving Germany, France, and Poland, known as the Weimar Triangle, began in 1991 in Weimar, Germany.
NATO Members Use a Major Air Exercise to Send a Message to Russia
After 30 years of shrinking military budgets, air power had become a vulnerability for NATO, but that began changing after the Russian invasion. NATO increased its air patrols along the Russian border and based allied troops and aircraft in four more NATO countries.
In addition, some NATO states are trying to bolster Ukraine’s air power — for the current conflict and to deter Russia in the future — with the United States recently agreeing to let Ukrainian pilots train on American-made F-16 fighter jets.

No indictment for Netanyahu
(20. April 1997)
Netanyahu told CNN‘s Walter Rodgers he was „glad that the truth came out,“ and said the entire incident was „blown out of proportion and twisted out of shape.“
„It‘s politics,“ he said in an interview shortly after the attorney general released his report. „Of course there were people out to get us. But this is going nowhere. It‘s done. It‘s finished.“
Three Years In, Netanyahu‘s Trial Has No End in Sight
Some jurists say the judges in the Netanyahu cases are allowing the proceedings to drag on too long
