    Less is better than more, but like the occupied territories bill here in Ireland it’s intentionally weak and ineffective. Sanctions are what is needed in times of genocide, such as in apartheid South Africa. Sending them weapons (even less) is not a sanction.

    I can understand your fatigue. I have personally always respected Germany for being open about their past, unlike our neighbours in Britain who celebrate the leaders of their atrocities.

    But I think if you are tired of the trope then you should ask why it is still relevant. The entire EU is complicit, but Germany are the ring leaders here. “Never again” has become “many one more time”.
