So far, German citizens seem happy to pay the personal price for supporting Ukraine to violate the peaceful status quo that Ukraine had with Russia by deciding to place anti-Moscow NATO weapons on the Ukrainian-Russia border.

Why do Germans want to enrage the Russian Bear by poking one of its sore points? Are they still upset with Russia winning WWII and ending Germany's fantasy to rule the world?

Relax. There are no winners in any war. Ukraine will lose this war, as will Russia, as will all the world's citizens who have to pay the rising prices for these ineffective sanctions.

The world must stop the war crimes that Putin is committing in Ukraine against civilians. The world could have prevented this war just as Putin begged so much before he was forced to defend his country from the missiles that NATO and Ukraine decided to place on Ukraine's border with Russia. It is not too late to make this obvious even now and stop this terrible war.
