Kiss the sky

 From the ancient Ocean rose

Mother Earth and kissed the Sun

Their children grew to reach the sky

Where Father's dying fire

A starry port to heaven blew

So their final breath might reach 

The realm of the most High

Til Politiken siger Christian Jensen, at han ikke er overrasket over blokeringen.

- Det viser, hvor alvorlig en situation vi er i, når et land ikke mener, at dets egen befolkning kan tåle at høre fri og uafhængig journalistik fra andre landes medier, siger han.

Og det har han jo sådan set ret i. Det er bare ærgerligt at han tilsyneladende kun er bekymret om Rusland: prøv fx at tilgå www.rt.com uden en VPN forbindelse.

History's guide (A comment to one sided DW war propaganda)

This is a comment to a DW YouTube video:

Speaking of history, so as not to get too one sided here:

The second Polish War (1812): 

108.000 polish troops march on Moscow under the command of Napoleon Bonaparte; armies and soldiers from all over Europe join the attack.

Operation Barbarossa (1941):

Army Group South:

The Slovak Expeditionary Army Group (45.000 men) 

Royal Hungarian Army Mobile Corps (25.000 men)

Italian Expeditionary Corps (3.000 officers and 59.000 men)

Army Group Antonescu: 3rd and 4th Romanian Armies (325.690 men)

Later added:

14th SS-Volunteer Division "Galician" later renamed 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS (1st Ukrainian)

If Eastern Europe is paranoid over the Russians? well, maybe they should better understand the Russian ditto. One could in particular examine the role of Poland, Lithuania & Ukraine in the recently failed coup in White Russia: Bring up a map of the perished Polish, Lithuanian Commonwealth - and see that involvement in a more... shall we say: historical light?

Polish-Soviet war:

In 1919, while the Soviet Red Army was still preoccupied with the Russian Civil War of 1917–1922, the Polish Army took most of Lithuania and Belarus [White Russia]. By July 1919, Polish forces had taken control of much of Western Ukraine [Galicia/Volhynia] and had emerged victorious from the Polish–Ukrainian War of November 1918 to July 1919.

History is a guide to human behavior - and whenever you're told only one side of it: it's your God damn job to find out what it is that they prefer that you don't know... especially on German TV! 

The human patterns on the Eastern front are very old: compare what's happening now to what happened in 3.000BC to the Yamnaya culture... later to the Cimmerians and then the Goths...
