German Chancellor Olaf Scholz is sticking to his decision not to supply Taurus cruise missiles. After England and France, however, Italy now wants to supply comparable weapons systems.

1. You know olaf is happy inside with a name like his.

   He’s just being cautious, maybe he’s waiting for an apropriate moment.

   Well with the building of an airport near belogorod it seems like Russia wants a large scale offensive predicting the front lines being much further from it in the near future and this means an invasion of kharkiv.

   If Ukraine has enough vehicles to evacuate it should be fine if it is needed although I’m sure they can defend the city.

   The west needs a separate policy of support in place for kharkiv in case of crisis with extra support unlocked if Russia attempts to take it.

   Ukraine needs to get western promises that they won’t let kharkiv fall. If they can’t get them they can then plan accordingly.

   Ukraine has to make it as difficult as possible so there’s ample warning so even with guarantees from the west they will still step up so the city isn’t taken given enough notice for their political machines to kick in. No people will be enslaved here.

2. Either the Taurus doesn’t actually work, is 10x as expensive to produce than is claimed, or cannot be put back into production for some reason. Somebody needs to explain.

3. I will get me some popcorn as soon as Sweden announces that it will deliver taurus to Ukraine…

4. Ukraine needs all help it could possibly get, meanwhile Western appease cuckolds turn approval of EVERY piece of equipment into freaking drama. HIMARS – oh no, wait two month until Mariupol fall; tanks – another year, and only coz of social resonance after ruzian terrorist attack on Dnipro city; ATACMS – oh no, you don’t need it, we will send some only when everything will start go to hell; MIGs – oh no, veto for a year; F16 – oh no, you don’t need it, delay, delay, delay, delay…; Taurus – this shitshow; etc.

5. He’s waiting for Putin to attack Germany so he can surrender. Inside he is still a student socialist party member who remembers his visits to East Germany fondly.
