Who ordered that?!

Yay.
Well, this time it's not us Germans who started it, so I hope my country won't be held liable for the results whatever they are...
I know that media is regularly used to influence the masses.
When you compare FoxNews with CNN news on the same event, you get the feeling they are reporting about events that took place on different continents.
When I compare CCTV and BBC reports on an event, the situation isn't much different.
And the list goes on.
TRT and ZDF, Al Jazeera and RT.
I have started to accept that and use a digest system to look for either Occam Razor style results or for most shared / most probable results.
But, seriously, I thought that at least after 1945 was over, people would have come to agree upon some basic shared truths.
Like that you don't attack a country because you sent your own people in there to shoot back at you.
Or, you don't call it defense when you shoot and bomb first when you want to be called the "good guy".
Being good is meant to be harder than being the bad guy.
And, too, I thought that Appeasement policy had shown itself to be a failure in the 1930 in a sufficiently clear manner.
But, nope, seemingly with the final vanishing of the generation that worked it out from 1939 to 1945 and the return of funny political ideas in the early 2000s, now it is time for the classical contest of:
"I'm stupid and think war is a real cutie idea to get my problems solved."
Seriously?
No.
Or does anyone see great Adolf statues abounding throughout Europe?
No?
Well, imagine, there might be an actual reason for that!
Because, against all probability, people neither love being bombed, shot or starved to death!
And, likewise, being cannonfodder tends to loose its charm after a while.
Holy fuck.
I came here to improve stuff, and thats already hard enough because its a job for more than a lifetime, which I don't have - thanks human society - and now some idiot decided to activate the hard mode.
To all those I love and admire:
When you're from a country that I maybe just indicated, I do not refer to you or your family and friends with my cussing.
I hope that you will all personally be safe and well.
But, right now, I would seriously love to be able not only to freeze certain peopels assets , but transfer them to those that have to suffer those peopls actions consequences.
For, I also worry and hope that those in those countries suffering now will be safe and well and that normality... or a semblance thereof, will reassert itself soon.
Having cussed now a blue streak in the past 16 hours, I go to bed.
Luckily there is enough blame to go around several times over.

'oh thank god it wasn't US this time'
> Being good is meant to be harder than being the bad guy.
People who start wars don't care about being called the good guy. This mentality of "they will never do that, it would be so bad !" is a silly way of looking at the world :o
