Positionen wie die von Klaus von Dohnanyi liefern keine Analysen und beruhen nicht auf der tatsächlichen Lage sondern drücken kollektive deutsche Gefühlslagen aus, die tief in der politischen Kultur der Bundesrepublik verankert sind: Es geht um Angst vor Eskalation, Sehnsucht nach Stabilität, Überforderung durch geopolitische Komplexität, Misstrauen gegenüber Machtpolitik und einen Wunsch nach moralischer Entlastung. (“Beide Seiten sind Schuld.”) Diese Aussagen bedienen emotionale Resonanzräume und sind deshalb für sachliche Argumentationen kaum offen. Putin profitiert leider von der emotionalen Rückwärtsgewandtheit und nutzt sie gezielt aus.
3 years ago today, Russia blew up the Khakovka dam in Kherson. A massive flood wave swept across the area, devastating consequences for people and animals. The number of people who died, particularly in the occupied territories, remains unknown to this day. #russiaisaterrorist
HODGES: For Russia, it's absolutely humiliating, for their military and government, that Ukrainian drones flying almost uninterrupted through Russian airspace to hit targets deep inside Russia.
The ones that hit St. Petersburg traveled about 5 hours through Russian airspace. How embarrassing that Russians couldn't identify it, track it, or knock it down somewhere along the way.
I think Russians will continue doing the only thing they can do, which is to hit civilian targets. They're not gaining anything on the ground. The great Black Sea Fleet is no longer a factor, and they can't seem to stop Ukrainian attacks of different types.
The one thing that Ukrainians have not been able to completely stop, for now, is Russian missile attacks against Ukrainian civilian targets.
And what utter nonsense when Kremlin talks about how they have to retaliate somehow, or that somehow Ukraine is the aggressor.
Geheimdienst LEAK: Russland will Internet im gesamten deutschsprachigen Raum deaktivieren.
Grund: Auftritte von Akteuren wie Dohnanyi sollen endlich frei von Kritik und Einordnung bleiben.

The greatest lie Russia ever told was convincing people it is a superpower.
Its economy is smaller than Italy's.
Its GDP per capita is lower than Uruguay's.
Its military is the second-best... in Ukraine.
The only things Russia truly invests in and innovates are kinetic warfare and information warfare.
It has one of the worst demographic outlooks in the world.
Russia is a paper bear.
Unfortunately, the Russian side once again chooses war – everyone heard the response today. Weak response. He simply does not want to end the war.
I think many around the world were disappointed by that response. He does not want to change anything, and he does not want to admit that this war appeals only to him – and to those who are making money off him. They were all smiling very broadly today.
That means Russia must have less money, and there must be more pressure on Russia.
I thank everyone who is helping us. I thank everyone who stands with Ukraine and wants a real peace.
