"Het vooruitzicht van dagelijkse massamoorden, wijdverbreide oorlogsmisdaden, ondervoeding, dakloosheid en nieuwe, grootschalige ontheemding van Oekraïense burgers (...) is onaanvaardbaar. Waarom grijpen de westerse bondgenoten en de NAVO dan niet in om hier een einde aan te maken?"

In Germany, the established, civil parties have to return to basics with the electorate. They can no longer assume that everyone agrees on the fundamentals - equality, rule of law, freedom of expression for everyone including hated outsiders, accountability of the state. The AfD challenges these.

Mitteleuropaeisch-buergerlicher Kommentar (FAZ, Deutschland, Nikolas Busse) zur Ceuta Krise: "Wir muessen die Anziehungskraft unsres Kontinents verringern, bis keiner mehr kommen will!" Erst wenn die Leute lieber in Mali bleiben, als ein Leben in Europa zu erleiden, geht es uns schlecht genug!
The conservative commentator writes: "So, the situation in Ceuta, even if it has apparently quickly defused, is a reminder for the whole of Europe, that the recent efforts to secure the external borders and to restructure the asylum system are insufficient. The attraction our continent exerts on people, must be fundamentally and further reduced, including the welfare state and the asylum laws itself."

Sanchez hat voellig Recht mit seiner Beschwerde. Ich bin kein Sozialist, aber er ist einer der besten Regierungschefs die wir noch haben in Europa. Die mitteleuropaeischen Regierungen sind es, die versagen.
In a letter to the EU Commission and Council presidents, Sanchez complains about a lack of solidarity, implying especially Italy, whose government has installed border controls for persons coming by ship or air from Spain to Italy, as reaction to the Ceuta events. Sanchez says: While Spain had shown solidarity in earlier other such crises, the (european) governments now had attacked Spain, the affected country, and shown a stance characterised by prejudice, misinformation, ignorance, or even political self interest, and which violates European law.

I think, Europe needs to confront the challenge by the Trumpists ("civilisational erasure") directly. What does it mean to be civilized? It is the respect of limits on one's power, rule of law, restraint from acting without due process, acceptance of inherent rights of others and own fallibility.

Why is Ukraine able to withstand war & bombing like it is? Because of the Maidan - refounding the will of the people to their own democratic self determination. Why can we in Europe not bring ourselves to support UA like we should, in our own interest? Because we did not have this for too long.

This is a desaster for Europe's foreign policy. Do we even have one? So, Russia only needs to dictate its demands to a US Trumpian stenografer, and hey-presto, we find this a "discutable proposal"? This is not just UA's surrender but also our own, European abdication of self-interest.

Here's something from my own world. A little SEM image, as one can see, in BSE mode. It shows magnesiowuestite crystals - the round shapes - which experienced wild swings in T & oxygen potential. So they multiply exsolved, and iron is reduced (the white patches). We use this as natural sensors.
