While the US and Russia are involved in difficult but meaningful and evolving peace negotiations, the Liberal-Globalist leaders in Europe are doing whatever they can to impede this process and fan the flames of war.
Incoming German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, for one, was voted in to reform the state, but rather than doing that he proceeded to keep all the Globalist suicidal policies in place, with the added nefarious bonus that he is even more hawkish when it comes to supporting Kiev’s regime.
Now, it arises that Britain ‘would support’ Merz’s plan to send long-range Taurus cruise missiles to Ukraine.
Reuters reported:
“Mr. Merz signaled this week that he was ready to send the long-range missile system to Kyiv, but only in agreement with allies France and Britain.
On Wednesday, a British official involved in foreign policy told The Telegraph that the UK had long been in favor of Germany giving Taurus missiles to Ukraine, and would back the move if it were taken now by the new chancellor.
The UK source said: ‘We continue to work with our partners, including Germany, to equip Ukraine as best we can to defend its sovereign territory’.”
The powerful Taurus has a range to strike targets deep inside Russian territory.
Outgoing Chancellor, the unpopular Olaf Scholz, refuses to hand the Taurus to Kiev, fearing the inevitable escalation and a direct war with Moscow.
Merz, to become chancellor in early May, appears ready to hand the missiles over.
“’Our European partners are already supplying cruise missiles. The British are doing it, the French are doing it, and the Americans are doing it anyway… this must be jointly agreed. And if it’s agreed, then Germany should take part’, Mr. Merz said earlier this week.”
Many in Scholz’s SPD say there are ‘many good arguments’ against sending Taurus to Ukraine.
“The SPD’s Boris Pistorius, who is expected to remain defense minister in the new CDU-SPD coalition, has said the argument against sending Taurus missiles is also based on confidential national security reasons.”
What these confidential reasons my be, it’s anybody’s guess – but we do know that the Russians have warned Merz repeatedly against such a move – Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said last Thursday that Russia would treat Taurus missile strikes on its ‘critical transport infrastructure’ – a.k.a. the Kerch bridge, in Crimea – as ‘direct’ German involvement in the Ukrainian conflict.
Providing us with a window on the mind of Russian maximalists, retired Russian Colonel Mikhail Mikhailovich Khodarenok wrote on Gazeta: “As soon as the first Taurus KEPD 350 missile takes off from the territory of Ukraine, the Aerospace Forces and the Navy of the Russian Federation must begin with the strike at the residence of German Chancellor Friedrich Merz.”
