:cry: our brethren there are at the border with Poland, trying to get out. Rumour has it they want to force all males age 18-60 into the military to go fight. The lines at the border are huge and people have been waiting over 24 hours.

Why would a “free”, “democratic” people not let its own people leave?
It is the way of empires and worldly kingdoms.

Indeed. (My own home country also wouldn’t let me leave, so I am stuck not being able to go back there.)

Germany announces they will accept all refugees fleeing.

NPR reports the European Union will help, but the news link is not opening.

Most or all of this drama, humiliation, wasted taxpayer money could be spared -
with even modest attempt at presenting balanced facts from the start.
