Elderly UK pop icon Rod Stewart has apparently met with fan backlash at a concert in Germany for making a public display of his support for Ukraine in its conflict with Russia. Didn't many say the same about his affect on music when he first started gaining popularity in the 1960's?
"I’ve been supporting them for years, the Ukrainians,” Stewart said in a March 2023 interview with Sky News. He added, “If the Ukrainians lose, it’s the end of civilization as we know it. It’s all over.”
Germany has been a leading sponsor of Ukraine, providing around €34 billion ($36.4 billion) in bilateral aid to Kiev since the conflict started. Public support for that policy has declined. A poll released in April by state broadcaster ZDF showed that just 42% of Germans believe their government should boost its aid to Ukraine. Around 82% of respondents said Kiev cannot defeat Russia, up from 70% when the same question was asked last August."

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.OK. Kids in American colleges claim they support Hamas but seem too stupid to know that if Hamas has their way nobody will be able to protest anything unless Hamas says so. Is that dumb or what?
