The American publication explained the reluctance of the German Chancellor to transfer Taurus missiles to Ukraine due to fear of escalating the conflict

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz's refusal to supply long-range Taurus missiles to Ukraine is due to his fears of a further escalation of the conflict. The American publication Politico writes about this.

According to Scholz, a decision on missile supplies can be made by Berlin only after a very careful consideration of this issue. Speaking at a press conference at the summit of the European Political Community in Granada, Scholz noted that the fighting has been going on for a long time and it is natural that issues of arms supplies will be discussed.

The German Chancellor said that the country's government must always take into account the requirements of the constitution and calculate possible options. For example, Berlin must understand that there will be no risk of escalation of the conflict and that Germany will not become part of it. Scholz called ensuring the protection of Germany from deeper involvement in the Ukrainian conflict as his task as the head of the German government.

The American publication writes that Scholz fears Ukraine will use long-range missiles not only against targets on the “old” Russian territory, but even against the Crimean Bridge. The German publication Bild comes to the same conclusion, analyzing the reasons for the German government’s doubts about the need to supply Taurus missiles to Ukraine.

But the German authorities gave the go-ahead to transfer another Patriot air defense system to Kyiv, although the Bundeswehr itself does not have many air defense systems of this type in service. Scholz probably believes that now, especially before the onset of winter, Kyiv needs anti-aircraft missile systems more than long-range missiles.

It would be useful for this “American publication” to “explain” a simple thing to the prisoner of war of the American occupation regime with the “Scholz” tag...

Existing international agreements on the sale and supply of missile weapons (to which Uncle Sam and all his NATO tobacco companies have “signed”) limit the aforementioned “range” of missile weapons sold “supplied” abroad to a range of no more than 300 km. As it is, for example , from Iskander-E... Unfortunately, not yet supplied to Cuba...

So a prisoner of war with a “Scholz” tag should not bother with mental anguish about “escalation”. For supplying TAURUS with a range of more than 300 km. Vaterland is expressly PROHIBITED by international agreements...

So, let him, first, OFFICIALLY, revoke Fatherland’s “signature” under these agreements, and then, apos;ll, be tormented by the torment of “escalation”...

There are no longer any laws and agreements that the United States and NATO as a whole have not violated. What are you talking about?

[ABC-schutze]

Yes, I’m just saying that the Russians, unlike the aforementioned “everyone,” still FULLY comply with these international restrictions on the export of missile weapons (even to entities not subject to UN Security Council sanctions...

Existing international agreements

Nowadays, few people care about such little things.

I beg you! Don’t talk about red lines again.

Scholz is doing the right thing in that he is afraid that these missiles will fly towards the Crimean Bridge and Russian territory... The Kiev authorities are temporary workers and lawless people who do not connect their future fate with Ukraine... Their main task today is to drag NATO countries into an open war with Russia, and for this they are ready to shoot Taurus anywhere just to provoke our country into a retaliatory strike against the factories producing these products in Germany... Although he is a liverwurst, he fears for his own skin... All this can very It will end badly for everyone...

The English fly and nothing.

This could all end very badly for everyone...

The Russian Federation will not accept any intelligible actions.

[mixail sherbakov]

They are already flying to the factories that produce Leopards, yes.

Is Scholz concerned about further escalation of the conflict? In my opinion, Europe has not been paying attention to this for a long time since the races with the Anglo-Saxons. As an example: Anglo-French missiles supplied by London, which hit Russian territory; American and British shells with a depleted uranium core; American cluster shells... and this is in addition to tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, self-propelled guns, air defense systems; a decision on German missiles and F-16s is coming. Scholz, of course, would like the United States to supply its missiles first.

Scholz just goes. Proof? Ask.
"...the government of the country must always take into account the requirements of the constitution......"
How is the transfer of leopards and other weapons consistent with the requirements of the constitution?
“Scholz called ensuring the protection of Germany from deeper involvement in the Ukrainian conflict his task as the head of the German government.”
It is worth recalling that the assistance began in the form of 5000 helmets and first aid kits. Further more. Is this not deep involvement in the conflict?
The Britons simply split the boobies into dozens of leopards with their 14 tanks.
The mattress makers are breeding boobies for missile supplies with their discussions about the likely supply of longer-range missiles.
It is bought off from the outskirts by the Patriots, who themselves buy from the mattresses at a high price.
Scholz just goes.

And in my opinion, the sausage understood everything correctly. Three minutes and there is no plant, and five minutes later Germany is dead. So maybe it’s easier to get hit in the eye by Biden’s security guards again than to get the whole country hit in the back.

[Dzerzhinsky]

This means they will definitely hand it over, they’ll just break it a little for show.

Uv friends and not friends, incl. TsIPsio!
Is everyone really considered a sucker, as the Banderführer put it? This mouse fuss has been accelerated since the beginning of 2022 by the arrogant Saxons to check the reaction of the Russian Federation, force them to use tactical nuclear weapons and accuse them by yapping on all international platforms in front of allies, including the Global South and the PRC, except for the DPRK... you all see that it’s impossible to be friends with such a country at all...
It’s up to us to draw conclusions and continue to slowly and surely return the original Russian lands to the underbelly of NATO - ne nato!
