Kyiv very strictly monitors that no one strayed from the system and alignment with him.

A little hint of an attempt at dissent, doubt and criticism - heavy artillery of an increased emotional background of accusations and tantrums immediately goes into battle.

Still would.

They maintain not only the image of the victim, but also the status of the fortress wall of democracy, which is besieged by totalitarian savage hordes, seeking to desecrate the Garden of Eden of Europe and establish their inhuman darkness everywhere.

Now Germany is being promoted for the supply of heavy equipment and tanks for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

There, on the one hand, you want to, because it was not in vain that Chancellor Merkel tried, building the Ukraine project for years, it was not in vain that Scholz, filled with joy, reported on the removal of guilt from the German nation.

All this needs to be consolidated and deepened.

But on the other hand, it is prickly - historical memory, rationalism and a clear understanding of what such games with fire can lead to.

Therefore, it is necessary to please Ukraine as well.

How without it?

Holy duty.

Like it or not.

And one should not break with Moscow, that is, one should not go far in confrontation, after all, the current well-being of the country rested on Russian hydrocarbons.

Here they are balancing on a swing.

They lean towards equipment and new deliveries of weapons, and then a signal from Russia: well, you understand, we are forced, we do not decide ourselves, but only execute.

Maybe we can make a deal, huh?

Well, not now, then later, we do not refuse ...

So the ruling SPD party declares the need to maintain relations with Russia, to resolve the current conflict through diplomacy.

Party members also say that the interests of our country should be taken into account in building European security.

Back in 2021, the party’s election program contained the statement that “peace in Europe cannot exist against Russia, but only with it.”

But since that time, so much water has flowed under the bridge, including due to the fact that Russia's interests in the security sphere were categorically not taken into account, moreover, they were defiantly ignored and trampled on.

Hence the main current headache for German political circles and the difficult choice: peace with Russia or against it?

So the discussion began to dance, how do wars end - negotiations or victory on the battlefield? ..

Reason insists on the need to follow its former principles and the obvious that Russia cannot be deleted from the security system.

That all the intrigues around this issue, as well as the flagrant short-sightedness of politicians, led to the current Ukrainian tragedy and confrontation.

Does it make sense to go further and expand the geography of the conflict?

But that's common sense.

On the other hand, Kyiv, in its permanent inadequacy, screams that it is already possible to imagine in dreams that there is practically no Russia, you don’t need to take it into account, but you just need to put pressure on and spin the flywheel of confrontation more strongly.

Ukrainian Deputy Foreign Minister Andriy Melnyk, in his usual mentoring tone, scolds German politicians, arguing that Germany should "know better" that conflicts are resolved more often on the battlefield than at the negotiating table.

Kyiv itself banned negotiations with Moscow, and now demands the same from Europe.

And what a negotiating table, when maps of the new Russia are already being drawn in Nezalezhnaya and they like to argue, if only, if only ... When they aggravate their previous cannibalistic tales that have damaged the mind there since the time of the "Maidan", and this otherworldliness only intensifies.

Now these storytellers, out of their anti-reality, are longing for a big war, provoking it.

Not all the same to take the rap.

Europe is paying off as long as it can.

She has now been given such a roof, so pay for peace of mind.

Pay for your hesitations and doubts.

However, a similar situation was in the spring of the same 2021.

In Germany, voices against turning Ukraine into a powder keg of Europe prevailed.

Then, I remember, the official representative of the German Cabinet, Steffen Seibert, said that his country does not issue permits for the supply of weapons to Ukraine.

They swore commitment to resolving the crisis by political means on the basis of the Minsk agreements.

The German political establishment was dominated by the point of view that the supply of weapons to Kyiv would only lead to an escalation of the confrontation.

The same Melnik, who worked as ambassador to Germany, was passionately indignant at all this.

German politicians then were guided by common sense, which diverged from the general strategy of turning Ukraine into a militant and extremely aggressive anti-Russian cudgel.

What did the same Chancellor Merkel recently admit to?

As it turned out, no peace was expected, only time was needed to pump up the muscles of Zelensky's Ukrainian gladiators.

Russia saw all this dynamics, talked about it, warned about the consequences.

At the same time, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov noted that NATO countries “pump up the Ukrainian army with weapons, provide it with financial and material support, and train the Armed Forces of Ukraine in NATO methods of warfare.”

In the center of Europe, many prospectors and enthusiasts have been creating an inadequate militaristic regime for years, ready to break the chain at any moment.

It would seem that it would be easy now to trace the entire chain of events that led to tragic consequences in order to identify their perpetrators and beneficiaries, but no, Russia is solely to blame.

Judging by the statements of Ukrainian politicians, it is to blame for the very fact of its existence, and this idea is now instilled in everyone else.

Tempted by an urgent offer to solve this problem once and for all ...

Now the Old World is gradually being recruited into the gladiatorial ranks.

In the same Germany, they resist and hesitate as much as they can.

But it feels like it's almost impossible to resist.

Unable to fight off the common flock, and Kyiv bites on the heels as soon as they start to lag behind in doubt.

Europe was captured by the cycle, bearing to deadly chaos.

This flywheel is easy to spin, but incredibly problematic to stop.

The same Germany has recently lost a lot, and first of all - freedom and the remnants of sovereignty.

Now she is bound by mutual responsibility.

Who is to blame for this, when for years some only watched and did not object too convincingly, while others, like Merkel, weaved intrigues and paved the way with their intentions to who knows where.

So now it remains to solve the main issue of European security: with or without Russia.

We tried without - we got Ukraine.

If the SPD does not reject its position on betting on diplomacy and considering Russia's interests in the long term, how will it be defended and implemented?

Is the ruling party capable of fighting, of going against the current of the general conjuncture, especially when all sorts of Millers scream heart-rendingly and teach life?

We are talking about the ability to fight not for Russia, but for yourself, your country, for Europe.

Ukrainian politicians are ready for anything, they can pass all their citizens through a meat grinder - and Europe there too.

What to them, they were not created for the world, but then propagated.

It is sad that not only history, but current events do not teach anything.

What about a wall of peas.

Or is it such fun to step on a rake again and again, repeating one’s own that only Russia is to blame, and not to feel one’s own guilt for anything, not even trying to reflect on this? ..

It is sad that in Europe they are still poorly aware that they have created a monster that is increasingly subordinating its own creators to its destructive will.

They do not understand that this monster must be stopped for everyone's safety.
