1:53 Germany’s army rushed an Iris-T air-defence system into service on its own soil for the first time Wednesday having delivered several of the sophisticated systems to war-torn Ukraine to take down Russian rockets, drones and missiles mid-flight.

AFP reports Chancellor Olaf Scholz said the surface-to-air system was part of a long term build-up of German and European defences initiated in the wake of Russian President Vladimir Putin launching the Ukraine invasion in 2022.

“Russia has been massively rearming for many years, especially in the field of rockets and cruise missiles,” Scholz said at the inauguration ceremony at a base in Todendorf near the northern city of Hamburg.

Ukraine is being given medium range missiles that they intend to use deep into Russia.

Russia is expected to retaliate against NATO.

There is your October surprise, folks.

Seems to me too many people (all up and down the line) are sanguine about the prospect of an all-out, possibly nuclear war.

Life as we know it - even life itself - may be over if and when things spiral out of control.

I haven’t heard the word “diplomacy” in quite some time.

“It’s still We, The People, right??”

Spoiler alert - NOPE

Not completely giving up, hoping for a miracle, but I get the sense of feeling like a cavalry trooper on the ridge at Little Big Horn, or a Volkssturm member with a Panzerfaust on a bridge near Berlin in May 1945 and a column of T-34’s coming at me, or a French Foreign Legion trooper watching Charlie swarm the line at Dien Bien Phu.

Maybe Putin shouldn’t have attacked & invaded Ukraine without any provocation, starting this unnecessary war, huh?
