Until recently, it was a well-established fact (even a federal policy guideline) that it takes a good ten years to start a war like the one in Ukraine. Our politicians have deliberately (!) decided to ignore all indications of war preparations and announcements, on the one hand because of ideological proximity to the "socialist brother in arms" and on the other hand because one earns quite well and not just for looking the other way and at the same time as a "Appeasement politicians" could stage.
