Dimitry Z exactly shows the tragedy of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Not so easy to understand without a patient analysis, and not so different from my understanding of Germans as they invaded and terrorised Norway, where my my grandfather was an outlaw for eighteen months till May 8th 1945 for having the temerity of being a Norwegian patriot in the Resistance.
Anyone who has not faced this sort of thing can possibly understand the determination of a country like Ukraine. I have not lived this life, but my grandfather [whom I loved], explained it to me, and he respected rather than hated post 1945 Germans as a businessman, but he was terrified of the Russians as the REAL threat, even before Putin was a fairly hopeless spy operative in East Germany!
Anusbisgrau. I hope you never have to live under the true grip of a dictatorship. But if you do, you still stand a chance of being as firm a character as my late Norwegian grandfather.
Sincerely from George
