von der Leyen is staying the course

“I’m exhausted, I’ve had it, my next thought is: the people in Ukraine cannot say, I’m exhausted, I’ve had it.

I’m here to manage this crisis. Then we’ll see,”

- President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen


And it’s a little similar to what her fellow country man, Martin Luther said many years ago: “Here I stand and can’t do differently, God help me Amen.

A different time, a different cause.

You can also understand the metaphor in the sense that the captain of the Titanic also stayed firmly by his course. We all know how that ended!
