Berlin No Longer Puts Restrictions on Range of Weapons Supplied to Kiev — Merz
TASS ^ | 5/26/25

The German Chancellor said that now Ukraine can attack military targets in Russia

BERLIN, May 26. /TASS/. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has said that Germany will no longer limit the range of weapons Berlin and its allies supply to Kiev.

"There are no longer any restrictions on the range of weapons supplied to Ukraine – not from the British, not from the French, not from us. And none from the Americans either," he said during a discussion at a forum organized by the WDR broadcaster.

"That means that now Ukraine can defend itself by, say, attacking military targets in Russia," Merz stressed. "It was previously unable to do so, except in rare circumstances. Now it can."

According to Merz, Germany insists that Kiev target only military facilities.

Earlier, the German government decided not to make public its plans concerning weapons supplies to Ukraine after three years of transparency on this matter. This decision, according to Berlin, is geared to create what it calls "strategic ambiguity" to hide its actions from the opposing side. Notably, Merz said in mid-May that Germany was not planning to supply Taurus long-range cruise missiles to Ukraine although previously he had repeatedly called for this.

Time for the US to back out of the region completely; let the Germans and Russians dance.

Further showing the propaganda effect of USAID - now the Europeans are practically DEMANDING that Russia take out their cities.

But can one even blame the Europeans, considering the DISASTER they’ve made of their cities with their Repopulation Program.

This incremental silliness won’t work. Fighting a war halfway is the road to hell. Either fight all out and send ground troops or surrender.

The US should never have been involved in the first place.

Someone is going to push the button.

Biden originally said to keep our missiles in Ukraine...but changed that before he left....probably via an auto pen.

Yet the German chancellor has no problem making sure German citizens cannot defend themselves against violent muslims right in their own homeland - Merkel let in one million military-aged muslim men, remember, unleashed them on the native born population - to rape, stab and kill.

They are not sleepwalking into WWIII. They are wide awake and marching into it.

***Fighting a war halfway is the road to hell.***

I still remember LBJ saying something like “We are not out to win this war! We are trying to get them to the conference table!”
This was after he sent troops to South Vietnam, something he said he WOULD NOT DO in the election of 1964. When he sent troops, at that moment I knew I would NEVER vote for a Democrat for President. NEVER! I spent time in SE Asia in the USAF.

I fear you are overly overly optimistic on that. Hope I am wrong. Doubt that I am.
