Appetite for this stupid war in the Ukraine appears to be fading across the West. Germany is refusing to send the Kiev regime long-range weapons.
RT:
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has said Berlin is reluctant to provide longer-range munitions to Kiev out of concern for a possible escalation should Ukraine decide to use them to strike Russian territory.
In a wide-ranging interview with the German state-TV channel ARD on Sunday, the chancellor was asked why Berlin refuses to supply Kiev with long-range cruise missiles.
“We carefully check all the requests we receive. But for us there is a principle that I share with the US president – we do not want the weapons we supply to be used to attack Russian territories,” Scholz told ARD journalist Tina Hassel.
Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky reportedly told Scholz during their meeting in Berlin back in May that Kiev “urgently wants” Swedish-German Taurus KEPD 350 missiles. The air-launched munition is armed with a 500kg warhead and can travel up to 500km (310 miles).
Over the course of the conflict, Ukraine has demanded increasingly sophisticated weapon systems from its Western backers. Kiev has intensified calls for NATO to supply it with fighter jets – specifically the US-made F-16 – in recent months, after securing a pledge for dozens of Leopard 2 and 1, M1 Abrams, and Challenger 2 main battle tanks from multiple EU countries, the US, and the UK.
There are certainly signs that the West is going to back off and negotiate some sort of deal. The WaPo report talking about how the CIA was pushing for some sort of negotiated settlement spoke to that. Of course, this could change and they could decide to send in NATO forces. We are dealing with people who don’t think through things logically. If they thought in a logical manner, they would have never started this insane war to begin with. It has only served to undermine ZOG’s geopolitical power and credibility around the world.
It’s anybody’s best guess as to what happens next, but the fact that Germany is publicly stating their reluctance to send long-range weapons could mean that this conflict is in the process of ending. Either way, Western support for this can’t be sustained indefinitely especially considering the state of the West’s economy.
