A disturbed and confused world on July 20 anniversary

It seems, at least to anyone who lives in the West, that the behaviour of the authorities in the Donetsk region is bizarre and really not at all acceptable.

The downing of MH 17  and now this awful treatment of the dead and the total disrespect for the families of the dead, is cruel. At a church service in Sydney today the word evil was used to describe the downing of the plane.

Is is possible to believe Mr Putin any longer?

Today Germany recalls the 70th anniversary of von Stauffenberg's attempt on Hitler's life. It would not be fair to history to say that the reason for the attempt on Hitler's life on July 20, 1944 was to save what they could. As early as 1938 factions within the Wehrmacht had attempted to overthrow Hitler.

While the Germans talk about 'downloaden', 'apps', 'computers', 'E-Mail' (but look at how they spell it), internet, they don't use the word 'WiFi, insteasd they say 'Wlan'. Or is it 'WLAN'?
