Germany okays Ukraine's use of German-supplied weapons on targets in Russia following US policy change
Fox News ^ | May 31, 2024

Posted on 05/31/2024 4:37:51 AM PDT by McGruff

The German government said Friday that Ukraine can use German-supplied weapons against Russian attacks from positions just over their joint border, in a significant policy change that came a day after U.S. President Joe Biden gave Kyiv a green light to strike back with American weapons at Russian military assets targeting the country’s second-largest city.

A German government statement noted that, in recent weeks, Russia has prepared, coordinated and carried out attacks on Ukraine's northeastern Kharkiv region, in particular from areas just over the border in Russia.

"Together we are convinced that Ukraine has the right under international law to defend itself against these attacks," the statement said. "For this, it can also use the weapons delivered for that purpose in accordance with its international legal commitments, including the ones delivered by us,"

Over time and with tax money. How else? Russia won’t stop because you don’t want to pay the bills.

Shouldn’t we secure our border before theirs?

How are all the Grannies on the Religion forum? Still waving your Bibles high, while cheering on perpetual war?

They are NATO.

That would be Article V, and you had better be further east when that happens.

Pretty boring after the great Catholic counter attack ended it.

Don’t hang out there much since the Catholic Cacaus runs it, and many of my old sparing partners are now in heaven and probably laughing at us. It’s to bad really, the old Religion forum was a lot of fun.

The AWACS are for the F16 package. Essentially these two AWACS will be used to provide radar coverage on a defensive level, but once it identifies within its surveillance system coverage area hostile ground targets it can also relay them. Most of what an AWACS does is put a COMMUNICATIONS HUB in the Sky with a COMMAND CENTER which obtains data from infantrymen cam’s, vehicles on ground, other nations and satellites, other aircraft - essentially everything that can see and communication is funneled like a fire hose into the AWACS/ground systems that communicate with the AWACS.

Sorry, I thought everyone was aware of the package for F16s. My bad.


Something I never once considered or entertained is what is happening this very moment. Russia has not yet publically announced their discussions with their allies over the past 24 hours. However, in the past 24-horus they initiated the process of concluding the same NATO Article 4/Article 5 agreements to be invoked by Belarus, Kazakhstan, Armenia, Tajikistan, and Kyrgistan. I am not sure if Uzbekistan is a party to this or not. These countries have a defensive pact with Russia to assist if Russia is attacked. Currently the talks have yielded pledges of over 1M soldiers from these countries to join the Speical Military Operation.

NATO has invoked its unity. Now for the first we are hearing about the Russian’s invoking their defense agreements with the allies. Some sources are saying that more than 1m soldiers will soon start flowing into Ukraine from Russia’s defense pact.

NATOs escalation to use NATO officers to strike Russian soil has now moved to a new phase.

Who could have ever in a million years have predicted, outsides of Jake Sullivan or Tony Blinken-idiot nad the Pentagon that Russia would invoke their articles of defense with their allies to come to their aid with Russia under attack from NATO???????????????????????????

It might only take a few weeks for the flood of men and weapons to arrive. Most likely these forces will be integrated into the existing Russia military framework rather than sending them alone - if Zelenski ever wanted to talk about human wave attacks, now would be the time. Personally, I cannot imagine where this conflict is leading. We now have two defensive pact’s squaring off against one another.

The Russian’s held this card and never mentioned it. 40 nations against Russia.... Well now Russia will draw from a half dozen allies.

No menetion of Iran, Syria, N.Korean or other allies like Venezuela.

Who knows, maybe NATO will have to defend itself from invasion of sorts. The EU and US are already flooded with hostile immigrants - a few hunderd causing problems is a problem.

Life is cheap in the thrid world and the West cherishes our lives at least individually. The prospect of nearly an addition 700,000 Russians backed by over 1m allied soldiers to Russia, regardless of caliber is going to look like a repeat of the US Military heading south from the Yalu River dividing North Korea and China in the Korean War.

Okay, now for the Freeper Challenge: Everybody should set a bag of popcorn on their kitchen counter - whoever is the first to report it’s popping.... Sorry, bad taste;)

If you listen to street hustlers that aren’t very good at selling, they oversell which exposes that they are hustling.

You don’t need to constantly oversell and go into those long and irrelevant narratives when answering something.

Not cool. Germany wants a rematch with Russia? They believe Putin is bluffing—but are we? Would US strike Russia if China said they would hit us if we did? This is how to keep Liberals in power—get all the west into a big war with Russia.
Wars are tricky things—they never go the way you expect—this time USA will not be safe like in WW I and II. FOOLS!

No, I asked for some simple clarification and none of your long and rambling posts were focused on the question.
