Is Gerhard Schoeder of Germany ignorant, troll or stupid?

Ukraine is going to conduct a counter-attack against Russians in the southern part of the country. The fightback is extremely important as it has been well prepared, and troops are numerous and equipped with modern western weaponry. 

Therefore I consider the following days to become some of the most important ones during the war. If Ukrainians fail, it provides a lot of confidence to Vladimir Putin´s military force. But if Ukrainians will succeed, that will turn the situation also in Donbas and Luhansk, where Russians have thus far had some success. 

Therefore is was extremely unwise from Gerhard Schoeder of Germany to insist diplomacy as the only way to end the war. In my opinion, a man with such a long history in politics should understand that the only outcome from diplomacy would be acceptance of Russian violence. And that is not acceptable. 

It should also be noted that General Pekka Toveri noted Russians to have - theoretically - a huge reserve of soldiers, but it seems to be difficult to mobilize them into the front. Therefore, spending time with diplomacy would work only for Russians, and against Ukrainian attempts to keep their independence.

Therefore we should ask, whether Schröder is Putin´s troll, ignorant about facts or simply stupid?

COVID-19 against Finland´s NATO plans

The president of Finland - Sauli Niinistö - has an infection of SARS-CoV-2. Fortunately, according to the announcement, his condition is good, and he continues working.

Timing of the virus infection was worst possible. That is, exactly in the middle of Finland´s preparation of its application to join NATO.  

There is no doubt that Russians and their trolls would not do their best to take advantage on the situation. An example was already given by a member of the House of Lords of the United Kingdom, Robert Skidelsky, who warned in Twitter that "application by Finland to join NATO would be a catastrophic mistake". 

Therefore I hope the infection would not affect President Niinistö´s activity in this task of utmost importance. But if it does, I hope he will share this duty with the Prime Minister Sanna Marin to get the NATO application submitted without any delay, but taking care of all preliminaries necessary.
