Why Olaf Scholz is not a "peace Chancellor," why Ukraine still stands a good chance of getting their cruise missiles, and why the entire debate surrounding Taurus is such a riddle
Why Olaf Scholz is not a "peace Chancellor," why Ukraine still stands a good chance of getting their cruise missiles, and why the entire debate surrounding Taurus is such a riddle
The Taurus leak continues to dominate German headlines. It is an incredible embarrassment for the Luftwaffe, and for the Scholz government it is yet another in a long line of unwelcome crises. Some have ventured to characterise Olaf Scholz as the “peace Chancellor,” opposed to war-hawks like Emmanuel Macron, who has left open the possibility of sending NATO troops to Ukraine. This is altogether too facile. With a few exceptions,
How is it that western democracies keep electing such doofuses? There is something wrong with our political systems that we continue to elect such terrible leaders. Something has got to give. I think the people need to rise up and overthrow the current system, or even better, replace it with something that works better.
Alternative für Deutschland, says the leak has revealed that NATO is “more involved in the Ukraine war” than previously known, and that Germany must “consider whether an alliance that draws us into foreign wars serves our national defence.”

Clearly AfD are dangerous extremists. NATO was looking for a reason to exist and the CIA gave it a boost in 2014 with follow up.
One more difficulty mentioned on the call is that a means will have to be invented to mate the Taurus with the mechanical and electronic systems of Soviet aircraft like the Su-24. The Luftwaffe say they have no idea about doing this but hope the Brits can figure it out, like they did with Storm Shadow. Somehow I doubt the Taurus will be projecting real time target data onto the Ukrainians' cockpits. I imagine they'll have some improvised Android app. Or maybe just a big red lever to pull when they sight the Kerch bridge. 😁
Yes, if the Ukraine war has showed anything, then this: the Western Wunderwaffen are overhyped, overpriced crap.
We saw that very well with the Leopards Germany makes and also sells to other countries. They all quickly ended up as smouldering wrecks at the wayside, or in some Russian war museum.
Germany makes a lot of money with the sale of weapons. Can't be good for business when it is revealed that it is all crap.
Germany just started to build a factory for 155mm shells. Not much you can do wrong with those, even our diverse German engineers will manage that. Those can be exported.
But the real expensive stuff is only for those armies who want to spend a lot of money for show, but not in real wars.
Gosh this is scary. Not only was BoJo involved, now we have the ultimate dis-connected buffoon, the 'Lord' David Cameron (the title was part of his price for doing the job), an un-elected Foreign Minister who is unaccountable to the House of Commons. What could possibly go wrong?
The "non-leaders" that nurtured this murderous disaster in Ukraine…you know who they are: Obama, Biden, Nuland, Blinken, Zelensky-stooge extraordinaire, Boris Johnson, the Ukrainian oligarchs bathing in U.S. taxpayer BILLIONS, and, of course, the UniParty congress and their Death Industrial Complex donors, they all deserve the gallows. Their fraud has ground up several generations of Ukrainian men, and they SHAMELESSLY press on.
The Political Gnosticism of the liberal imperium chugs along in all of it’s frustrating and disgusting logic; How many more Ukrainian and Russian boys need to die when the outcome is so obvious. We are a shitty species.
Great article! For what it's worth here in the US Scholz is getting a lot of press for being Craven and loose lipped all at the same time. Letting slip that France and the UK have soldiers advising Ukraine on Missile use on the ground was a big faux pas, letting the luftwaffe have an online/phone conference regarding top secret military issues without encryption, yikes.
Makes Scholz and his predictably moronic doltish lefties look as empty in action as they appear to be between the ears. Shoot, even Lefty media in the US is hitting them on these issues.
Regarding the riddle of the conversation, I think there are two things going on here.
1. On the Russian side, they are officially informing the world that they are aware of Western complicity in Ukraine. Now everybody knows it, and everybody knows that everyone else knows, and it has been made public in the German officers' own words, so nobody can deny it. Russia is giving notice that if these weapons show up in Ukraine and are used to kill Russian civilians, they will consider Germany accountable.
2. On the German side, the strange conversation happened because the German brass knows that the point of assisting the Ukrainian war effort is not to win the battle against Russia but to keep the theater going. Thus, the need for sensational targets. Ukraine is ever in need of more military razzmatazz that Western politicians can use to market the war effort to their constituents. The West is funding not only Ukraine's war effort but its entire government, and once that assistance stops, Ukraine collapses, plain and simple. The leaked conversation about Taurus missiles was the Luftwaffe wondering aloud whether it was time to perform the Kolvoord Starburst.

Then I sounded out his name "vad a fool" and rofl
"Johann Wadephul, vice-chairman of the CDU Bundestag faction"

What if they intentionally do evil deeds in a stupid manner, so that observers concentrate on the stupidity instead of seeing it for what it is?

How can a party of "Greens" support gratuitous wars that cause so much damage to the natural environment?!!
Eventually it comes down to survival of the fittest so hopefully the whole global rot-lot go extinct.

THEY ARE ALREADY IN UKRAINE. Along with all kinds of NATO soldiers, who do you think is manning the high-tech air defense equipment?

If only they all would put as much thought and effort into ENDING the war than trying to figure out how to make it more deadly and dangerous.
Just another event causing me to ask yet again, “Where are the adults?” It seems the world is bereft of adult leadership.
