During the last few days I noticed a few people demanding that every Ukrainian refugee in Germany who is of able bodied age should be forced back to Ukraine to either fight on the front or work in ammunition factories or hospitals. As far as I can tell no major publication or politician has echoed this sentiment yet. I hope that will stay this way. But the sheer audacity with which these people demanded strangers to be sent to their death is astounding. "Fighting to the last Ukrainian" really is something they want and it sickens me.

    Still pretty bloodthirsty, but all things considered western propaganda hasn't been as successful as other places (I live in scotland, where most people have quite alternative opinions to the mainstream). But that doesn't stop them from trying, like my college teachers who keep bringing up scottish martial tradition and how we're "warriors", like some girl apparently said she would fight in ukraine and the teacher keeps bringing up how she's so brave.

    Most people are divided on this but when are we aren't? Suffice to say the war in ukraine has just become background information for most people.
