German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has been accused of a "flagrant abuse of intelligence" after he revealed that British troops are helping the Ukrainian military launch long-range Storm Shadow missiles on Russian positions.
Tobias Ellwood, a senior Conservative lawmaker and the former head of the UK's Defense Select Committee, said Berlin endangers the lives of British troops in Ukraine, the Telegraph reported on Thursday.
"This is a flagrant abuse of intelligence deliberately designed to distract from Germany's reluctance to arm Ukraine with its own long-range missile system. This will no doubt be used by Russia to racket up the escalator ladder."

Right on time.
We have to wait for WWIV for him to arise.
You’re not even making any sense. Russians using Vietnamese missiles?
Try Vietnamese using Russian weapons to shoot down American aircraft and kill American troops in the country. Just like Ukrainians using British-supplied weapons to shoot down Russian aircraft and kill Russian troops in the country.
Not a “diversion” - an apt comparison. Russia helped North Vietnam drive out the U.S., so we are returning the favor in Ukraine.
You’re the one who needs to try harder. Or think more clearly.
Uh, no. Putin is the one doing all the endangering...of everyone.

You mean like Russia has in Cuba, 80 miles offshore of Florida?
That was my initial thought as well.
The Eeee-wwwwwwwwuu needs to pony up the $60 Bil.
Isn’t London primarily muzzie?
The US is there, too. CIA guys supply the working guts of the so-called “homegrown Ukranian developed armed drones.” Then with direct RT links to DOD intelligence, set the targets and help fly them in.
It’s always been a proxy war. And we’ve had “boots on the ground” since before Russia started their ops. In fact, the CIA black ops guys have been there for at least 15 years, not including embassy folks.
I have no dog in this Ukraine/Russia war as there are no good guys on either side. (I’m talking about the leaders here.)
But placing British combat troops in Ukraine is a reckless escalation. There’s no other way to describe it.
“From Buckingham to the Thames, London is in flames…”
Deliberately done, not some oversight.
Same as their presence in the Red Sea.
Sounds like Vietnam War 2.0
It’s not like they’ve been fooling anyone who really cares to think it though. Certainly not you, me or the Russians.
It’s amazing how so many freepers here are still fighting the Soviet Union. Cold Warriors.
That bitch gets things done. When she shows up, continents tremble
IIRC, Christians In Action were doing nothing but drilling wells in poor villages and teaching English to children back then.
