"I am not at all sure that the person who has stayed there will leave in the near future. They are all so attached to their home, and it's possible that they don't plan to leave at all. If all the neighboring houses get hit and they no longer have any windows, then they will decide to leave because there’s nothing left to hold on to," Vlad said. #Ukraina #DonetskiOblast #Evakuatsioon (translated)

Lexa wrote that Friedrich Merz explained on the Tagesschau that Russia is waging war against Europe and Germany. As evidence, Merz cited an "armed attack" on the Leipzig airport on August 4, which he claimed was solely carried out by Russia. Lexa interpreted this formulation as a justification for further arms deliveries, rearmament, and sanctions. The resulting costs, including higher energy prices, the migration of industry, and burdens on the budget, would, in his opinion, be imposed on the citizens. Moreover, people who questioned the evidence or the benefits of continued support for Kiev would be portrayed as opponents. According to Lexa, the EU is also pursuing this course and rejecting negotiations with Moscow as long as the guns are not silent. He wrote that this condition prolongs the conflict instead of ending it. #Russland #Krieg #Energiepreise (translated)

The author argued that if Czechoslovakia had stood up to Germany, World War II and the Holocaust would not have happened, half the world would not have spent the rest of the century in what they described as a communist dystopia, and nuclear weapons would not have threatened the US mainland. They said events would instead have followed the Ukraine-Russia playbook. #Czechoslovakia #WW2 #History #CZ #DE #UA #RU #US

Wolfgang Kubicki wrote that the day provides an opportunity to think about how societal division can be prevented. He regarded polarization and accusations of fascism against the CDU as dangerous. In his assessment, a constitutional crisis in Saxony-Anhalt, should the factions block each other on candidates, would not have been a good alternative. Everyone is called upon to deal with the election results maturely. This also applies to the AfD and the new parliamentary president, who has announced an impartial conduct of office, Kubicki wrote. This already arises from constitutional law and practice; the president will be judged accordingly, if necessary, in court. Kubicki accused the SPD of slipping into reflexes from the 2025 federal election campaign. In the end, this only benefits the political fringes, as it did before. #Gesellschaft #Politik #Wahlen (translated)
