Freezing to death is a small price to pay to protect the vibrant democracy in the Ukraine.

At least a third of Germans on low incomes may not be able to pay increasingly high energy bills, the German Tenants’ Association (DMB) has warned, urging the government to make changes to housing programs.
“That’s a hell of a lot of people,” Lukas Siebenkotten, the DMB’s chief, told newspaper Der Tagesspiegel on Sunday. “We’re talking about millions here.”
Siebenkotten urged the government to allow more people to claim housing benefits in the wake of rising energy prices. “Tenants must also be protected from the termination of contracts if they cannot make increased advance payments,” he said.
The remarks came after Klaus Mueller, the head of the Federal Network Agency, Germany’s gas regulator, warned that consumers should conserve at least 20% of gas in order to avoid shortages during the winter.
“In all other scenarios, we either face the threat of a gas shortage as early as December, or have low-level shortages at the end of the upcoming heating season,” Mueller said, describing current gas prices as “astronomically high.”
High inflation and increased energy costs in Germany have been exacerbated by fears that Russia might completely cut off supplies of natural gas to the country. Germany and other EU states imposed sweeping sanctions on Moscow in response to its military campaign in Ukraine and unveiled a plan to phase out Russian gas.
Yeah, cutting off gas completely in the winter would be check and mate, and all of Europe would just have to surrender to Russia. If I were Russia, I would do that, then say the heat won’t be turned back on until Russian peacekeepers are deployed in Germany and France to ensure the gas is deployed safely and fairly to the people who need it.
But until then: Germans need to remember what they’re fighting for.
They need to remember who they’re fighting for:
The greatest man who ever lived on the earth.
Remember when you breathe your last shivering breath that your life was given in order to save the vibrancy of the democracy in the Ukraine, which Putin tried to destroy.
Obviously, none of this freezing is going to do anything to stop Russia’s takeover of the Ukraine, and actually, it’s made it easier by boosting the Russian economy. But the point is that your death from freezing was symbolic. You became a symbol of democracy values in a rules-based order by dying for no reason.
That’s our values. It’s who we are.
So, just let it go… let go of… your life!
