Machts nichts.
Germany, along with a couple of other European countries, will not agree to SWIFT sanctions.

Is Baghdad Bob in the Ukraine?

Normal ratio is that it takes three attackers to defeat one defender in a fortified position.

This is all kind of strange to watch.
In WWII, we had Robert Cappa. Then came CNN's real-time coverage of the first Gulf War.
Now we have social media.
It's weird to hear so many stories in real time. It's the exact same shit as with any other war, but also unique.
Yikes.

My tweet of the day is from the Ukrainian ambassador in Germany. He replied to a "symbolic gesture" of lighting an official building in the colours of Ukraine by one of the politicians who most actively contributed to not actually helping them.
It's hard to translate the tweet accurately, but it's basically a very undiplomatic "Fuck you!".

I suspect the screws are starting to tighten on Mr. Putin.

OK, things are moving over here in a quite remarkable way.
The chancellor has announced to invest an additional 100 billion into defense and liquid gas terminals, and promised to raise the defense budget over 2% of GDP.
Both would have been unthinkable just two weeks ago.
