Merz talking about it here
Et tu Trump?
Now see the hypersonic response!
Et tu gagline?
Why have you deserted MAGA?
Negotiating tactic. We’ve already given all the long rane we can afford.
Which can only be operated by German military techs, per the leaked audio.
Germany wants to become part of the front line.
The brinksmanship is all fun and games until Article 5 is triggered.
Are all still importing Russian energy products...?
(crickets)
If they thought Trump would fall for that, they’d have done it by now.
Want to stop the war?
Find out who’s paying for it and cut off the flow of money to BOTH parties.
Mertz supporting the Forth Reich. Priceless.
Long-range Western missiles in the Ukraine is EXACTLY why The Putin invaded.
Biden gave his okay before he left the stage. Of course, we don't know when that was. He doesn't even know when that was.
“Letter From Chairman Khrushchev to President Kennedy, October 27, 1962

(Translation)”
“I therefore make this proposal: We are willing to remove from Cuba the means which you regard as offensive. We are willing to carry this out and to make this pledge in the United Nations. Your representatives will make a declaration to the effect that the United States, for its part, considering the uneasiness and anxiety of the Soviet State, will remove its analogous means from Turkey.”

The missile incorporates stealth technology and has an official range in excess of 500 km (300 mi). It is powered by a turbofan engine. It can operate at Mach 0.95 and can be carried by Panavia PA-200 Tornado IDS, Eurofighter Typhoon EF-2000, Saab JAS-39C Gripen, McDonnell Douglas EF-18A+ Hornet, and McDonnell Douglas F-15K Slam Eagle aircraft.[citation needed]
The dual stage 480-kilogram (1,100 lb) warhead, called MEPHISTO (multi-effect penetrator highly sophisticated and target optimised),[10] features a precharge and initial penetrating charge to clear soil or enter “hard and deeply buried targets” (HDBT) such as hardened underground bunkers, then a variable delay fuze to control detonation of the main warhead. The missile weighs about 1,400 kg (3,100 lb) and has a maximum body diameter of 1 metre (3.3 ft). Intended targets are hardened bunkers; command, control, and communications facilities; airfield and port facilities; ammunition storage facilities; ships in port or at sea; area target attack; and bridges.
Mission planners program the missile with the target, air defence locations and planned ground path. The missile uses a terrain-hugging flight path, guided by inertial navigation system (INS), image based navigation (IBN), terrain referenced navigation (TRN), and Global Positioning System (GPS) to the target. It is capable of navigating over long distances without GPS support.
Upon arrival the missile commences a climb followed by a bunt (dive) manoeuvre to achieve the best probability of target acquisition and penetration. During the cruise portion of the flight, a high resolution thermographic camera (infrared homing) can support navigation by using IBN and for GPS-free target attack. The missile attempts to match a camera image with the planned 3D target model (Digital Scene Matching Area Correlator, DSMAC). If it cannot, it defaults to the other navigation systems, or, to avoid collateral damage, it steers to a pre-designated crash point instead of risking an inaccurate attack.

The Russians have more long-range missiles than they need.
A few with conventional warheads can be launched at western European weapons factories.

Vlad’s Oreshnik hyper-sonic multi payload with non nuclear payload is what is called upon….just one can eliminate all of Germaine’s Defense manufacturing….as we saw with the last Oreshnik’s target.
These EU buffoons will get what they deserve.
“The brinksmanship is all fun and games until Article 5 is triggered.”
Hard to see how Article 5 plays into it when the Europeans start shooting missiles into Moscow.
Trump telepraghed his own hand in the Oval Office when he told Zelinski you have no cards. Apparently Trump is holding Zelinski’s hand.
