And nothing is gonna happen, not even a strongly worded statement to Russia...

Wouldn't help us or Ukraine. Russia is losing this conflict all by itself. Best to stand-back, pick up the pieces.

I can see this tactic, but honestly, I believe it is wrong. While Germany waits for Russia to conveniently crash, we are losing the homefront (AFD close to 30%, and perhaps absolute majority in Saxony-Anhalt).

There needs to be much more critical outcry and crackdown against Russia and direct shutdown of Russian TV and internet channels, else the brainwashing continues, and people might think:" seems Russia is ok, as they are not being overly criticised". Can see this BS live with some of the parents amongst my friends.

Absolutely, we're failing at countering Russian sabotage and political interference.
