British aircraft avoid Germany on Ukraine weapon supply run

Two British C-17 transport aircraft carrying weapons to Ukraine were forced to fly around German airspace after Germany refused to supply defensive weapons to Ukraine.

Tens of thousands of Russian troops are positioned close to the Ukrainian border, according to the UK Defence Secretary, “Their deployment is not routine, and they are equipped with tanks, armoured fighting vehicles, rocket artillery, and short-range ballistic missiles”.

This build-up has resulted in Ukraine requesting assistance from allies, with two British transport aircraft heading to Ukraine with anti-armour weaponry.

I guess the British want to get involved in another quagmire and apparently Bush didn’t cure them completely of that.

The Luftwaffe haven’t shot down a British plane in a long time.

It was probably best not to tempt them.

According to reader comments at UK news sites, the British people are very much against involvement. Of course their government listens to its people about as well as ours does :(

The Establishment has people like Biden, Bush, Cheney, Hillary, and others in their ranks in this country who love military interventionism. Other countries, whatever kind of political aisles they have, also have them as well.

Indeed.

This “war” against the Russians is being instigated by globalist cabal banksters hellbent on subverting them into their Satanic agenda.

In this case, it will be a war of Western nations coerced by Satanic forces against an independent Christian Russian nation.

Only a fool believes in ANYTHING coming from the White House or NATO as worth hearing, as it is all ultimately pushed from Satan’s children.

Read the warnings from Jesus Christ in John 8:44 if anyone is still confused.

Russia has no “rights” in this case. They are the aggressor.

LOL

Most of my life I have heard MULTIPLE preachers teach that Russia will be one of the powers that comes against Israel at the end of the Tribulation period. They proved it with scriptures too.

And Russia is about as “Christian” as China is. About 30-40% of it’s people identify as atheist.

What are you talking about? Ukraine has been at war with Russia since 2014 in southeastern Ukraine. Its resulted in 15,000 dead and 2.5 million refugees. Now Putin is threatening a further wide scale invasion.

I have no problem selling them 20 C-17 loads of Anti tank missiles and telling them “enjoy”.

Beyond that, not our problem.

Russia’s FSB (and the KGB before it) are experts at ‘active measures’ and demoralising a population and propagandising it to suit their interests.

The Russians have murdered British citizens on British soil with radiological and chemical weapons and the only thing the West did was levy pathetic sanctions.

They’ve already invaded Ukraine and annexed parts of the East and yet they’ve managed to gaslight 100,000s of citizens to be useful idiots and help spread their ridiculous propaganda that Ukraine is the aggressor and the evidence of a literal radioactive trail back to Russia and even individual suspects is dismissed as fabricated. And then they probe our defences and scope out where our internet cables are so they can cut them, hack our online infrastructure etc.

Russia is already an enemy whether we like it or not, and giving Ukraine the weapons they need to defend themselves, or at the very least extract a high price for any Russian invasion is the least we can do. F Russia and F Putin.

I believe the NATO treaty requires overflight rights, tell Germany that they are in violation, and they could lose NATO protection. They are being duped by that Russian pipeline just like Trump predicted
