Because they are old and elitist. Or at least that is the way I see the situation in Germany and the US.

There aren’t a lot of new politicians that are young or tech savvy and the people that might have thought about it probably aren’t high up enough to get the message through.

I also expect that many are still in shock that Putin did something instead of just continued threatening. I mean the biggest “menace” they had to deal with where people like Trump or Johnson, who are still a hell of a lot more “reasonable” than Putin.

Look, we are stuck on problems like, why aren’t we all rich? And, how can we not hurt each others feelings? Those are first world problems for the self obsessed that we have been chewing through endlessness and we have been chocking on a solution to both (because there probably isn’t one to either). How are our politicians who’ve had it cushy like that supposed to switch gears to ACTUAL problems over night?
