"Saving face" as a "reason" for war, or more war, is not "close" to madness, it is madness, just as it is madness for anyone to claim to be "fighting for peace" by delivering arms to Ukraine. The German Greens, who once had the slogan "Frieden schaffen, ohne Waffen" (Make peace without weapons), now as part of the coalition government are leading the demand for more arms to be sent to Ukraine and fully support the Russian sanctions that will hurt Germany probably more than any other country.
To make matters even worse, Finland and Sweden are now also on the verge of joining NATO, supposedly because of the "Russian threat" as seen in Ukraine, when Ukraine is in fact the result of the NATO threat to Russia, which has been ignored for 32 years.
There is no reason in any of this. It is full-blown insanity. The best thing that could happen, and maybe the only thing that will save us, is if there is a massive shift of consciousness and we start filling the streets and demanding what Olaf Scholz proposed to Zelensky on Feb. 19.
