Just finished watching Scholz speech. Mightily impressive. Earthquake. Proud that it’s the Social Democrats doing this and interesting to see how the fiscal conservative arguments of CDU were torpedoed.
Germany may be a major Security Force again. The support for Ukraine and how far sanctions go is mightily impressive. Perhaps fooling Germany and blatant lying was not so wise by putin:
I don’t think Belorusian soldiers have ever particularly impressed on the world stage but Putin is just throwing the kitchen sink at the Ukrainians now.
The idea that Belorusian troops can successfully land paratroopers and beat Ukrainian ground forces - when Russian soldiers have failed to do that - is fanciful though.
EU providing Ukraine with weapons and fighter jets… That looks like a blunt statement. Those fighter jets I guess are not like cars that you pick up and drive and get used to after a couple of kms. And where do you land them when you don’t control airports anymore?
