Wow! The German Foreign Minister, Annalena Baerbock, was publicly humiliated by the Ukraine Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba after she stated that there was no hope of Germany giving Taurus cruise missiles to Ukraine. And why the reluctance to give the Taurus cruise missiles to Ukraine? Because it is a highly deadly weapon that has a long range that could reach deep into Russia thus risking a big retaliatory attack. A retaliation that could include nuclear strikes thus risking World War III. However, the Ukraine Foreign Minister was having none of that and TOLD the German Foreign Minister that they WILL send those missiles to Ukraine.
The German Foreign Minister just stood there and sadly took the abuse with a definite Antony Blinken look on her face. However, imagine this arrogant Ukraine Foreign Minister saying something similar to President Donald Trump. No way that Trump would just stand there and take the abuse. In fact, President Trump, once he returns to the White House, will IMMEDIATELY work to END the bloody Ukraine War. Ukraine won't need those cruise missiles because that war would END within days of President Trump taking office.
PING!
“Now go make me a sandwich!”
To make matters worse, he’s correct.
What an arrogant POS.
She is HOT
He’s actually correct.
The US deep-state will eventually turn the eye of Sauron onto Germany and tell the controlled puppets there: the USA and Britain are now out of cruise-missiles, so its time to send yours.
And the cucks in Berlin will do as they are instructed.
She does have a nice figure, so there’s that, if they ever have an Olympic Foreign Minister beauty contest.

Is there a full transcript or longer vid? As it is, we do not hear Baerbock’s statement. Other sources say the fluff-up is over how long the Germans are taking to make a decision, not the decision itself, which glacial speed decision making indeed has been a problem with just about anything the Germans have supplied in the way of significant weapons.
“DW” has more, but, we still don’t hear Baerbock’s statement.

The “history” here (and quite a bit of talk out of Germany), says Germany will eventually provide the missiles, but, even if they don’t, the bigger problem for Ukraine is the delay and uncertainty while Germany dithers. The delays in weapons sent in the 1st half of 2023 greatly cost Ukraine by giving the Russians more time to dig in.
Finally, Kubela goes on to say Ukraine respects Germany’s right to make the decision; they, Ukraine, just don’t understand why it has to take so long. By not providing his entire comment, a worse offense than Kubela’s is made. At least he is being honest.
Just like the US succeeded so well in getting Germany to pony up it’s 2% for defense?
The US is NOT going to run out of air launched cruise missiles (we have several types) unless we get very deep into a war with China. The inventory is massive. That’s why Russia shits bricks about F-16’s (standoff launch platform.)
I love your armchair general routine!
You got it all figured out.
Its done with such clarity and authority (even though its complete bullsh**)
well done!

UKRAINE expects nothing less than INSTANT, ABSOLUTE OBEDIENCE to every Ukrainian GIBS-ME-DAT command. How DARE anyone not acquiesce to such UKRAINIAN DEMANDS!
👍🔥
Ukraine needs to get over itself.
Nonsense. Even the Germans admit they have a horrific problem with their bureaucracy.
See post 16 above. You should follow the same advice he gave Ukraine there. Just sayin’.
Ok, which air launched cruise missiles is the US likely to run short of IF supplied to Ukraine? (Note that Ukraine has not even formally asked for any from the US, to date.) State current inventories, current production capacities and note alternates or replacements coming on line if applicable. State sources of information.
Here, I’ll give you a start:
