Thanks for this. Warmongering is a mental disease. It's endemic, it doesn't go away, but in periods of crisis it spikes to epidemic proportions (as in your examples, and now). A deeply sad commentary on the human race. Rod Stewart (hardly the most politically aware artist, to say the very least) once wrote, "If you've ever seen how wars were won, You know what it's like, to wish peacetime would come."
This strikes me also as the posture of a sclerotic Germany, its government eager to re-arm at the behest of the pensioner class which votes for the SPD/CDU, while the youth who would have to do the fighting and dying decamp variously to the AfD or Die Linke.
Thank you for this article. In particular, for "big time dead" and "when all inequities of communism will be set aright and all pensioners of the world will have fun".
But to expand on the current situation, this might mean that some sensible people in the West are big time dead, but I'm not quite sure which ones.
Also, which inequities need to be set aright? I'm not following those articles (not healthy), so I'm truly in the dark.

So was the Russian invasion of Ukraine pleasing to Russian pensioners?
Very likely.
