1. Wow, didn’t see that coming. Well done everyone for keeping up the pressure on Western leaders.

2. I think a big mistake was making a big deal out of the policy in the first place and now that they’re changing it it’s therefore automatically a big deal. They should have gone with strategic ambiguity from the very beginning and just not mentioned it. And then Russians would have had nothing to hang a protest on. The weapons could have been introduced gradually or all at once or some here and some there or whatever, based on the situation and not based on some artificial policy.

   That goes for all of it. They should have just quietly provided weapons and let the Ukrainians use them however they were most effective and all these announcements about what we’re providing and when we’re providing it should have been avoided. Let the Russians guess about what kind, how many and when. I’m not sure why they always issue detailed lists in these batches of military shipments. What’s the point?

   When the Russians participated in the Vietnam War they didn’t announce “Hey we’re putting Russian pilots in ‘Vietnamese’ fighter planes to fight you guys. They just did it.”

3. Thank God!!!!

4. It doesn’t work like that, you can’t just say “Western weapons can hit Russian territory ” and expect anything to happen.

5. Probably going to walk it back tomorrow.

6. I litterally gave up on Scholz a few hours ago, posted here on reddit.

   Talk about dragging it out man, I was starting to think he was working for the other side but this… this goes a long way toward redemption for Scholz, still got a ways to go though.

7. Great, now send Taurus

8. Well done, Olaf.

9. Okay Biden, everyone’s looking at you now

10. These words had to be surgically removed from his mouth, you can be sure of that
