My understanding is that the Bundestag is all for supplying the Taurus cruise-missile to Ukraine but it's that coward Oscar Scholz who's blocking the transfer, so time for the Bundestag to override Scholz or remove him from office and replace him with someone who has a spine.

Scholz knows that the writing is already on the wall here for Ukraine, and Berlin plans reestablish dialogue with Moscow sooner or later at some capacity to ensure German industrial competitiveness, in relation to energy and industrial raw materials from Russia, because their large Asian manufacturing rivals already have that advantage.

Hey Times: please fix this guy's audio before doing further interviews. You need to get him a better microphone that he can move closer to his face. The current set-up makes it difficult when the listener is also in a noisy environment.

Draw your own conclusions about the nature and level of threats Sergei Lavrov made to the ambassadors of the UK, US, France etc on 5/5/24 regarding our missiles being used against Russian territory.

Why was the USA so successful during the Cold War? It implemented the Marshall Plan to economically strengthen its partners in Europe. The USA was the largest economy and opened its market to the products of its allies. The USA offered its allies a security umbrella with nuclear deterrence through NATO. As a result, America managed to push back the influence of the Soviet Union on Europe and ultimately win the Cold War. The alliance between Western Europe and the USA is proving difficult these days. For example, Germany follows a mercantilist economic model and is therefore dependent on cheap energy and large export markets. Russia and China can provide both of these for Western Europe like no other country. The USA, on the other hand, is becoming increasingly less important as an economic partner. And since the collapse of the Soviet Union, there is no serious military threat from Russia to Western Europe. Nevertheless, tens of thousands of American soldiers are still stationed on German soil in hundreds of US military bases and US nuclear weapons. If you look at the situation objectively from the US perspective, America is protecting Europe from the countries with which it has close trade relations. Europe's core interest, however, is to further expand its economic relations with the USA's biggest competitors. Don't be blinded by the politicians' rhetoric. Feelings, shared history, values, culture and traditions play no role at all in whether alliances really work. What matters is whether the interests coincide. And it turns out that the interests of Europe and the USA can no longer be reconciled today and this partnership will soon end.

Any time restrictions are mentioned when a war is being waged, not good. Ukraine give up now

To much Gazprom money in German politics.

Russia has weapons caches in the occupied territories. Those weapons are being used to eliminate what troops Ukraine has. But instead of using the NATO missiles to save the lives of the few soldiers they have. Ukraine wastes the missiles on a bridge that doesn't matter or a worthless long distance "target" in Russia proper.
