Ah wait!  Is this political?  Ah!

Note i will _not_ support that western hybrid war, and that misuse
of the western institutions, i _never_ did.  It is war, it was
_always_ war, and that does _not_ lead somewhere good.  We destroy
live on earth, we do no longer need to fly to the moon, we already
landed.  Especially the last thirty years saw a dramatical loss of
life.  All this was envisioned fifty years ago, in the "limits to
growth" or .. its english name, by the famous and fantastic Club
of Rome.

I _do_ see ~1.2M killings in Iraq, ~250K killings in Afghanistan
and Pakistan, i saw millions starving in Yemen and maybe soon or
already now about three millions starving in Afghanistan, because
i read not only the abstract of WHO and UN reports.  This is
_western_ mass murder, this is _western_ guilt.  And this is only
the last twenty years.

I do support that Ukrainian civilians are here and the children go
to school here.  (Mind you, there are a lot of good cars now here,
Lexus, Mazda, Toyota, they know what to buy that also survives
driving all the way back, hey!  Though many will also stay
i think.  Let them!)

I do _not_ support Ukrainian goverment.  They for example
overruled the voice of ~77 percent of their own people when asking
for city names (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kropyvnytskyi)
because those chose one which would have meant brotherhood of Rus,
they simply turned off media for minorities because "they never
were 'ours'" (i had to look, but would find it), never cared for
the people at all.
If _i_ were Bundeskanzler of Germany, _that_ Ukrainian Government
would get not a single Bullet.  Not a bullet!  As if Timoshenko
was a Russian spy, no.  The people, yes, let's help millions of
Ukrainian men and also women and children over this time.  If the
English do not do it!  (Let me allow a laughter.)

Why is a western voice better than an eastern voice?
I will _not_ do this nor any other war.  I hope i would have had
the faith to stand for my country Germany in World War I, but this
is the only occasion where i could imagine to go to war.

In particular i do not understand why the _people_ were not
allowed to vote, Ukraine said something like "as long as the
russian will win it, it will not happen".
Germany and France (!) were able to let people vote in Elsaß and
Saarland even after WWII (!), one went to France, the other to
Germany.

The voice of _people_ never counted in this conflict, for the
_Ukrainian_ government.  Here it was even worse than for
Katalanien in Spain, and let's see what will happen in Scotland
next year.  My claim is and would always have been that if
_people_ that live in a country want to leave, they should be
allowed to.  (At least people who lived there for a long time.)

But here please, what i said on public lists since last September.
(One week before the English destroyer did bad on the Krim.)

This is not talking about Lenin's gift to the Kiev Rus, or it
must be Kyiv Rus now in English, even though the German's also got
one, and i do not think it was because he knew the German's would
loose the war and they would get it all back.  No, i think Lenin
wanted something else.  But i have no "hand" in a century old
thing.  And this German/Lenin Brest-Litowsk thing of course had no
Polish voice (but not less could be said against the Polish later).

Sure is that Kyiv Rus _never_ owned anything of the country that
is currently being fight in on the ground.  It was a gift, a gift
to overcome a century old i-do-not-know-what in between some
Ukrainians, and Russia.  I believe solely the former.  A century
then after Lenin Ukrainian aka Kossacks where the brave, the
light, the heroes (i read one in German translated Russian
Youthbook when i was young, and for me i _really_ _could_ say:
Ukrainians!!), after Union break up they still got lots of Gas for
free, the rest very, very cheap, and surely lots of other
Russian/Slavonian (what do i know!  please do not break it down to
this parenthesis if you answer) brotherhood support, but after the
2014 revolution in the west th far east did not want to comply.

So what did happen then?  After this century of gifts and support?
As far as i understand it?  (And yes, but the Georgian killed
millions and millions all over the Union, did he?)

The first that did happen was that the western ukrainians threw
Splitterbomben on the people living in the east, and after Krim
voted they cut sweet water supply immediately, and for eight
years!  I mean come on, after that century?  A century where after
60 years (haha!) a monument of friendship in the between the
different "Rus" was erected in Kyiv?  Come to a place say people
let's let a decade pass and then vote again?  No??  No.

So i have no hand in this.  But i will not support it.
The Russians fight with 90000 men against an army of >400000.
There are 20000 Russians in Cherson or what its english name is.
Except for cruise missiles and air, on the ground i think they did
not use the most modern weapons initially.  We both now they never
wanted to take all of Ukraine, never.  I have no hand in this.
But if you ask me, a real international thing should have taken
away the land from Ukraine for free, and give it to its people,
and let them do with it whatever they wanted.  In Germany there is
a juristical thing for misused gifts, google translate says it is
"gross ingratitude".  This is what _i_ see here.

_I_ am concerned about the terrible western war for long.
I was so happy that at least _one_ western politician stood up to
say that they also have this war poison that also hit that Navalny
that all the western support like grazy even though he likely
would be in prison in Germany also, but that is much easier than
supporting the fantastic organization Transparency International
that gets support from so many good and sophisticated people!!
Yes, the wonderful Milos Zeman stood up.  That they were incapable
to protect an army depot and that some terrible criminals stole
super potential deadly chemical weapons and more he did not say of
course, but hey, everybody who wants to know knows it anyway.

Mind you.  This is the west.  _One_ politician of value for 500
Million Europeans.  The rest only lie.

Yes.  If i had to say anything, our Bundeskanzler would be charged
and brought to the international court in Den Haag i think it is.
But then again, i am sure nothing bad would happen to him, which
i do not understand.  I can quote several lies, contractions, and
distortions per day.  I vote him, by the way.  I regret it.
Unfortunately we also lost one peace activist in the last days,
mentioned on English Wikipedia even, Hans-Christian Ströbele.

I am a Bhuddhist.
I will _not_ support western hybrid war, i will _not_ help towards
the American Weltherrschaft Endsieg.
Here the famous German Artist Joseph Beuys with his song "Sonne
statt Reagan" ("Sunshine not Rain" eh "Reagan") from 1982.
No Endsieg no more for noone.

   |ISO countries doesn't solve some of the thorny political issues,
   |because ISO codes don't take a position on boundary disputes or naming
   |disputes. E.g. Crimea. When the invasion happened, the civil time in

  You mean the russian majority living in the majority of the land
  invaded the land it is living on for long?  Just to get it right.
  Since NATO will move onward to the east (do not mind a possibly
  existing contract, as we only fullfill wishes of the people living
  there), i will surely soon be able to have a look myself.

   |the region occupied changed. That means a new zone entry needed to be
   |created. I don't know how defering to ISO resolves the naming of that
   |one.

   |The other example would be Palestine. Regardless of what ISO decides,
   |the time in Palestine is what it is, and is different from Israel in
   |funny ways, and the territories that have gone back and forth have
   |gone back and forth and thus need new entries.

  Well not much longer and that problem was overcome by enforced
  exodus for many parts.  If the sun rises over the walls and the
  razor wire, they surely know it is daytime, and it is time to go
  and work on the fields they do not own.  Maybe what you meant.

   |What ISO countries do solve is the vanity issues of people wanting
   |timezones with their local big cities in them appearing in a list,
   |even if the timezone is the same as one in another country.

  But let aside that radical left wing political targeted drone
  killing, as we do not want another cold war, didn't the last
  discussion came to the conclusion that all you need to get back to
  original state is a slightly adjusted command line when building
  the data?  Wasn't this true?  I mean here at [9296ea527d] i still

  I know it is terribly off-topic and i am not defending this war.
  But in Donbass there was an eight year long war, and Human Rights
  Watch accused the non-Russian side of using cluster bombs
  etc. against Russians in 2015 plus.  There were ~14000 death human
  beings on both sides in the last eight years, and the one and only
  Russian point in the Minsk protocol, asking the population of
  Donbass in a democratic vote on which side of the border they want
  to live, was never fullfilled, not even to an extent.  We are
  talking about three million people here.  And even though all
  (non-Ukraine) parties tried to get that done, including to a large
  extend Germany and the by then minister of foreign state and now
  president Steinmeier.

  I really wish anyone would talk about the ~1.3 million death
  human beings in Irak, Afghanistan and Pakistan, as well as the
  millions of people starving in Yemen due to western supported
  warfare.  ~1.3 Million, and Germany was involved!  By Jove!!!

  Ever since yesterday my stomach screams one of the receivers is
  thinking the numbers are way too high, therefore this.  Two
  things, first of all, why don't you ask then.  And second, this is
  a fall-out of the problems in the western world, all the
  institutions including UNO and even the noble price are misused
  for political reasons for no good, thousands of little screw
  drivers turn the truth a little bit so it fits their bill more.
  Heck, our society more and more rests on the hollow ground of lies
  and misinformation!

  These numbers are from a meta study from the IIPNW Germany / PSR
  / PGS divisions of the IPPNW (International Physicians for the
  Prevention of Nuclear War), it is called "Body Count", they
  collect studies taken in the ten years after the start of the
  (so-called) war against terror.  The covered studies include
  Lancet (John Hopkins University) and IFHS of WHO, and several
  others.  The range spans widely, but, in fact, even the WHO study
  gives a much lower number than for example Lancet, but that number
  only seems to cover a small portion of the overall number of deads
  that the WHO study agrees with: if you do look at the _overall_
  number of deaths, then you see a factor two increasement of the
  number of deaths ever since March 2003, almost as much as Lancet,
  which gave factor 2.4.  If you look at this overall count, you end
  up with the numbers i gave.

  Of course, if i would be a jiddish comedian from New York i would
  possibly say that the very, very large difference in deaths has to
  be attributed to a misinformation of the Iraqi people, they
  thought they have to eat at McDonalds now that the Americans are
  coming, and preferred leaving to a different world.

  (These numbers do not include missing persons, the meta study
  refers to the ICMP (International Commission on Missing Persons),
  which estimated the number of missing persons in Iraq to be in the
  range of 250.000 and 1.000.000 people.
  And they also do not include illnesses and misforcaused by
  poisining due to weapons, for example ammunition with radioactive
  materials.)

  Seventy-seven percent (77%) of the habitants voted that way.  And
  yes (again, that is), compare this with the Scottish vote
  percentages.  And it is plain _to_me_ that even the Tatars, which
  were the original habitants there, and on all of Ukraine sea-side,
  and more, by the way, would now vote even stronger pro Russia,
  given that Ukraine cut their water supply for eight (8) years,
  only because they voted differently than western Ukraine
  politicians wanted.

  And again, Ukraine it was who simply denied people of Donbass to
  vote, even if that was part of the Minsk contract, and even if it
  was tried over and over again to make it happen.  At least from
  those few in the western world who were looking for a peaceful
  togetherness, which, granted, are not that many.  But i do not
  know why the remains of Germany (and all of France) were capable
  to allow the people in Saarland and Elsass to vote (for Germany
  and France, respectively), but others cannot.

  This is different to Litauen (which, to make that very clear, can
  provide the most terrible SS henchmen, you do not even have to
  ask, even more terrible than Ukrainian ones (German soldier moral
  declines massively when civilians are to be massacred, as 20th
  century history facts often prove), and have no problem with
  building CIA torture prisons once these have to leave Germany),
  where very tough European regulations do not seem to stress claims
  that the 2002 special agreement in between Europe and Russia on
  transit to Kaliningrad for goods and human beings is not covered
  by the sanctions against Russia, as can be verified at [1] (even
  though i am no lawyer).  (I wish western Governments would be so
  open; but maybe you could even find the same thing somewhere on
  an EU server, and i just do not know where.  Maybe behind a HTML
  5 Javascript thing.)

    [1] http://en.kremlin.ru/supplement/3537/print

  (I personally am against sanctions, it seems unfair compared to
  other (massively more deadly) conflicts, also including the same
  war pre-2022.  Nine of the ten greatest countries in the world did
  not go that way in the UN vote, and i am afraid western
  institutions including UN and anything else have to live with
  a massive loss of face because of the totally biased misuse.  And
  that western speculators impose a food crisis whereas the west
  claims it is Putin's fault does not make things any better,
  especially for the 800 million people on earth for who food is
  a problem.  It is disgusting to claim that 6.000.000 tons of wheat
  (Russia says 5M), with only ~3M left now, in an 800M/year market,
  cause this, and everybody knows.  How depraved you have to be for
  such.  This is against culture, religion, and anything else.
  I stand all this ground.)

  So let's just hope this war is over soon, and the millions of
  Ukrainians also in Germany can go home again, and the hundreds of
  thousands of school kids can visit their schools at home again.
  No western Ukrainian Politician has to be afraid they will ever
  face Russian culture, that was forbidden more and more before the
  war already, as even western organizations have denounced.

  With the next release that hopefully happens no sooner but when
  a time and date change is necessary, as i think has always been
  the case, this pressure hopefully ends, and as the wonderful Harry
  Mulisch writes in his "Discovery of the Heaven" (translating the
  german title, and i personally like his "Das Attentat" more), the
  screaming blue eyed you-call-it gets support from the
  kindergartener, but true heaven will (eventually) be discovered by
  the "hero" of our story.
