To stop the war one has to do it peacefully. With all due respect, given the recent events that is almost unbearable. I am not sure whether this is some kind of irony I am unable to gasp or you are serious about this. If it is the latter, let me ask you this: Should have Adolf Hitler also be stopped peacefully be talking? Should the Holocaust be stopped by talking? Really? In general, as the late Winston Churchill said, «blabla is better than peng peng» but there are situation where you can't talk, because the other side simply is not listing. There has been talks and talks and he attacked anyway. So sure you can give in his demands but that is like Suicide for fear of death. > Not by escalation.

After the dissolution of the Warsaw Pact, a lot of former members wanted to join the NATO (on good reasons, since the Warsaw Pact was used, at least in three occasions to suppress an insurrection(1953 east germany, 1956 Ungary, 1968 Czechoslovakia). That was finally granted and now they are in. (And I can now perfectly understand the desire of the Ukraine to do the same). I understand that Putin was upset about it. Well this is not a therapy session to resolve his traumas. So to call this war «This war is in the interest of third parties such as US, NATO as to minimize powers of Russia.» Is an insult to the people of the Ukraine. Shame on you. Putin attacked without any provocation in a very similar manner as Hitler in 1939 Poland. Uwe Brauer
