The more we try to make sure that no single guilty person goes free, the more we risk convicting innocent people in error. A difficult balance to strike.

Every so often it’s important to honour the constitution. #PublicHealth #RuleOfLaw #Accountability https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/16/health/childhood-vaccines-lawsuit-kennedy.html

Es ist zum Verzweifeln. Wieso glauben so viele Menschen, dass "territoriale Zugeständnisse" der Ukraine und der Welt Frieden bringen? Wieder einmal wird eine Umfrage aus der Ukraine verbreitet. n-tv versteigt sich sogar zu der Formulierung "Die Ukrainer sind des Krieges überdrüssig." wtf!
Es ist schlimm genug, dass die Menschen in der Ukraine nach vier Jahren des russischen Terrors so erschöpft sind - unter anderem wegen unserer mangelnden Hilfe.
Aber wenn sie aufgeben, fangen woanders die Probleme erst an: in allen anderen Ländern, die von aggressiven Nachbarn zukünftig überfallen werden, weil Russland für seine Aggression belohnt wurde.
Das passiert, wenn die Macht des Rechts schwindet und Aggression zugelassen wird.
