  1. The proper name for this war is not the "russo-ukrainian war". Rather I would call it the war of russian aggression

  5. Russian bullshit without proof. And funnily enough do satellite photos before 2022 not show any damages of artillery shells. And today are those places just ruins because of russian shelling. Russia is killing more russian speakers than Ukraine ever has. Russia murdered 200.000 russian speaking Ukrainian civilians in Mariupol alone. That shows us how much russia cares about russian speakers.

  6. I don't think it is cowardice. Its more a long list of things... Many german politicians wanna cling on to the idea of "Ostpolitik" and "handel durch wandel" no matter how brutally this illusion was shattered in 2022. I guess many German economic interests dislike the painful changes the cut ties to russia have brought Germany. Some German politicians are bribed scum like Schröder and many AFD boys. I also guess Scholz selfishly tries to save the socialdemocrats from total destruction the next election by winning back some voters that have walked over to AFD, and he is willing to throw Ukraine under the bus to save his beloved party. Giving away the favorite toys of your military to another country makes your military personnel feeling a little sad in their hearts, even if they also happens to be Swedish officers that strongly supports Ukraine and feel much pride in helping Ukraine and think it is the right thing to do. And I imagine that many German officers feels the same way. And a few of them might not feel the positive feeling gained by helping Ukraine, and some might have some sincere fears that the country is giving away too much and leaves Germany undefended and vulnerable. And some might (wrongly) also believe that the war in Ukraine is a lost cause and that donating weapons will just waste them without changing the outcome of the war. And then there is this thing that military aid might feel unusal and in opposition to modern German political tradition of pacifism. There are many things to melt at the same time. German weapons are killing russian soldiers. And things happens slowly because Germany do not wanna act alone without going hand in hand with allies like America. Germany is feeling very ambivalent towards the idea of taking over the role as the leader of the EU and Europe. Its scared over the use of military force. But on the other hand do it not want to let allies down, and some might also feel a moral obligation to now stop genocide and a country making wars of aggression. Regardless is this a new thing and many feel uncomfortable, and have mixed feelings about Germanys new role. And then have the Bundeswehr been regarded as a joke for decades. And now when things are getting real, do Germans have to start asking themselves uncomfortable new questions regarding their own military. And putting more money into it and hire more soldiers and taking things seriously will bring Germany some challanges. So this war has been difficult for Germany to melt. And I think there are many perspectives at play here. For a country with over 200 years of peace and neutrality, like Sweden have our own way towards Nato felt un-fun. I am ambivalent towards it. But like all other Swedes do I back Ukraine 100% and it is really a no brainer to give military aid to Ukraine.. because there are no other realistic enemy that might wanna invade Sweden so we might just as well allow the Ukrainians to do the job for us. Because it seems very unlikely little Denmark will invade Sweden again. I do not take the threat from any baltic country seriously either. Norway is pacifist and their military is too weak to invade Sweden even if it had wanted to. Getting invaded by Poland again because their royal family would marry Sweden's royal family, and then later on fight over who have the right to own Sweden... now seems like far-fetched scenario. And Germany doesn't seem interested in invading us either.
