Babies born now won’t be the ones rebuilding the country. They’ll be the ones growing up in bombed landscapes and suffering from both the traumas their parents have and ones they get while the war continues.
My grandma was born during WW2. She was still a child when many of Germany‘s cities were leveled. It was normal to her. Daily life. But people moved on. They rebuilt the country and grandma lived through the most prosperous times our country has ever seen. And she did her part in it, working in a factory and raising several children. It wasn‘t always easy but she has a good life and is pretty healthy for her age.
The difference being, Germany was/is a democratic country benefiting from foreign investment. Russia is the opposite. The countries are not comparable.
My mum has a story of her playing hide and seek in Vienne while Russian soldiers were shooting at what remained of the Nazi army. Apparently she thought it was fun. Children are strange…
