OMG. This guy looks like the spitting image of Vladimir Putin. In fact, if I didn't know any better, I'd say it was him.
Russia Is A Generous Soul.

1/ „Hier zeigt sich die reale Gefahr einer Infantilisierung von Politik durch Social Media, denn ein drei Jahre andauernder Krieg ist offenbar zu lang für die digitale Aufmerksamkeitsspanne. Trumps Seitenwechsel zu Putin, die dramatisch gewandelte geopolitische Lage – das ist alles zu komplex, um es in den schlichten Kategorien von „Herzchen geben“ und „Daumen runter“ zu erfassen.
Dass #dieLinke in Fraktionsstärke in den neuen Bundestag einzieht, ist gut für die parlamentarische Demokratie und Pluralität. Aber die Gleichgültigkeit der neuen hippen Linken-WählerInnen gegenüber dem Schicksal der Ukraine ist erschreckend.“
Ich bin nicht gleichgültig und so geht es wahrscheinlich vielen.
Ich bin Pazifist. So wie der Mann auf dem Bild. Er forderte schon damals Gandhis Weg zu gehen. Gewaltfrei. Überrollen lassen und Widerstand leisten. Wir haben uns länger unterhalten.
Ich weiß nicht, ob das richtig gewesen wäre. Ich weiß nicht, ob das richtig ist. Ich weiß für mich, dass ich nie jemanden töten möchte. Alle, die Waffen irgendwohin schicken, sind entweder Zyniker*innen oder müssten selbst auch zum Töten bereit sein.
Mir ist klar, dass das eine Luxushaltung ist, aber daraus hat sich dann ergeben, dass ich einfach ignoriert habe, was Parteien zum Krieg gesagt haben und auch jetzt zur #Aufrüstung sagen.
Mir ist das nicht gleichgültig, aber ich kann es nicht konsistent in meine Ansichten integrieren.

Newsweek · Fact Check: Trump says Russia has lost 1.5 million troops In Ukraine warPresident Donald Trump makes an unevidenced claim about the human cost of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, as he attempts to broker peace between Kyiv and Moscow.
"The promise from Trump to exchange visits is a victory for Putin. Any dictatorship sees a visit from the US president as the highest form of international legitimacy, almost a magical ritual that lifts a diplomatic curse."

"Russian TV pundit Vladimir Solovyov rejoiced about an assertion by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth that the United States intended to disregard NATO’s Article 5 in the event Europe militarily engaged with Russia.
Political scientist Sergey Mikheyev said, “In this situation, we should make it clear for the Europeans: now we can really strike Brussels, London or Paris, because we can forget about Article 5. You can forget the notion that Americans would step in on your behalf.”
Solovyov chimed in to add, “I like the way you think.”
