1. *German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said this at the “Civil Dialogue” event on Sunday, May 26, Ukrinform reports, citing DW.*

2. Imagine how many more there could have been if Ukraine could hit into russia with western weapons – staging areas, training grounds close to the border, army bases, etc.

3. That amounts to two full divisions – every month. Even Russia can’t continue with these losses

4. Does this imply that the reason for Scholz to undermine rapid and comprehensive military support to Ukraine is an extremely cunning plan of Berlin to get slowly and steadily rid of the largest possible number of fighting-(& productive)age Russians? And the Ukrainian blood spilled during the delay in the delivery of weapons thus pays for German long run economical interests?

5. So what’s the problem?

6. Those are rookie numbers, we gotta pump those numbers up

7. I’m not convinced Putin actually knows this. But even if he does, it doesn’t matter to him. His wealth and comfort are not affected so he just waits for the West to blink first.

8. Edit: Which is not nearly enough

9. Scholz needs to grow a pair.

10. Finally, some good news.
