The War: 18 Apr 2022

 1.  Well....it's a pretty weird story off N-TV this morning....talking over the Ukrainian language and the way it's been 'changed'.

Ukrainians have gone now and started referring to Russians in the Ukraine.....as 'occupiers'....same usage on Germans in WW II. 

Ukrainians have gone to use the term 'racists' to identify Russians as well.  

Then the Ukrainians have gone to term the war as a fight of good against evil.....you know....like the stories by JRR Toldien and the 'Lord of the Rings'.  So the term 'Orc' is being used to describe Russian soldiers.  

2.  Here in Germany, the Association of Towns and Municipalities stood up over the weekend, and said a "reset" needs to occur over protection and civil disaster activities.  In the wording of their statement....they also uttered the need to protect against war.  If you'd suggested something like this just a war ago....to include the term 'war'......it would have been laughed at.

3.  There are more than a hundred German investigations going on for war-violations in the Ukraine.  All would lead to war crimes, and court activity.

4.  The paperwork for the Ukrainian application for membership in the EU?  Completed over the weekend.  No idea how long it'd take for a review.  Typically....you'd be talking about several months of review.

5.  Eighth Russian dead since the war started.  Kind of a odd deal.....they had the funeral for the guy over the weekend.  No one knows how he died.  So far, he is the only general to have a public funeral (in St Petersburg).
