The Netherlands (Holland) 🇳🇱

When the Euro was being designed, they intentionally placed illustrations of fictitious, non-existent bridges upon each paper note, as to not show priority toward one nation or another.

Or at least, they were fictitious... until the Netherlands decided to build all of them...

A slim church in Montesclado, High Pyrenees, Catalonia. Photo by SBA73 on Flickr.

Both the church square and the church’s own façade, in Sant Esteve de Montesclado, are very slim. Even so, they managed to make it fit in the steep streets of this village in Pallars.

Ok but like I feel like people, especially living in the West kinda don't understand how difficult the situation in Ukraine is, especially given how little information we have about the real victims rate.

It is possible, close to certain say some, that in 2025 Russian and Belarusian military will try to attack other countries and many people here totally are making plans where to hide and preparing for the worst.

The West won't be affected as in bombed or having Russians roaming through their citizen's houses, commiting atrocities so it's easy to forget and ignore but it's a huge mistake to do that.

Supporting Ukraine is vital for the whole Europe and United States and I want you all to remember that, pushing your politicians to take any possible action.

For 200 years we had sawed and sawed and sawed at the branch we were sitting on. And in the end, much more suddenly than anyone had foreseen, our efforts were rewarded, and down we came. But unfortunately there had been a little mistake…The thing at the bottom was not a bed of roses after all; it was a cesspool full of barbed wire. ... It appears that amputation of the soul isn't just a simple surgical job, like having your appendix out. The wound has a tendency to go septic.
