You are correct. There are no words. President Biden's 9 words continue to ring of the walls of the Polish castle. Russia as the center of world Fascism rings true as well. And the French will begin voting for a president tomorrow. Whatever you may think of Macron, the thought of Marine Le Pen as French president makes Putin dance. That should be enough for the French to go out in their millions and vote against her and any like her. There was an incredible article in today's Sueddeutschezeitung concerning a 91 year old woman who survived WW2, was herself a refugee, how the daily news brings back all the horrors of that time. Caregivers in nursing homes report that the people living there in their 80's plus have gone quiet, the war they experienced as children reawakening all the trauma they experienced then. The 91 year old woman recently found out her father was a pilot, shot down over England, and that he was a supporter of Hitler, along with her grandfather. A terrible shock after barely surviving the war years herself. Today marks the 77th year that Dietrich Bonhoeffer was executed at Flossenburg prison, just a few days before Hitler killed Eva and himself. She mentions that we need another Von Stauffenberg. (He was one of the folks who tried to assassinate Hitler with a bomb but only ended up injuring him. They did manage to kill a couple of generals. But the folks who tried to take Hitler out were executed. That's how Bonhoeffer had ended up arrested and was being held in prison. Nothing begins or ends well when Fascism has taken over.
