This just gets me stupidly angry. Why now? Why not months earlier? Whatever happened to World War III? If you pleaded for this people called you irresponsible, a warmonger. And now this lame-duck president just made up his mind. www.nbcnews.com/news/world/b... - ThreadSky

You can always vote for Lindner next year if you want to keep your anger so long

fritzfeger.bsky.social•104 days ago

… and announcing it before they are hitting their first targets is the next reason to get angry

joerglau.bsky.social•104 days ago

The haplessness between unsolicited phone calls and now this is staggering

Now we face an agonizing exchange of worn out phrases until ultimately, in one week (?), the unavoidable will happen, Scholz setting those Taurus free. Because of „keine deutschen Alleingänge“. It‘s all so shameful.

It's a panic reaction..They finally realized, that the collapse of Ukraine is a matter of weeks..

He didn't make up his mind. He changed it. As a result of a changing situation.

joerglau.bsky.social•104 days ago

I don’t accept this

wirristdasvolk.bsky.social•104 days ago

Everyone is entitled to an opinion.

Possible explanation. The behind-the-scenes 'deal' with russia was that US wouldn't allow deep strikes and russia wouldn't proliferate missile tech to Iran & North Korea.
But now that NK is heavily involved, the calculus changed?

joerglau.bsky.social•104 days ago

This would have made sense a long time ago when NK delivered 1 mio artillery shells to Russia

hendrik-l.bsky.social•104 days ago

Yeah, probably Sullivan set all these red lines mostly for himself 🤷‍♂️

And why tell it upfront, if it‘s a reaction to North Koreans showing up in Kursk? Why Not enough ammo and let Ukraine have the advantage of surprise? If the effects will be too small, Trump will have another argument to push for „peace“

luislohaus.bsky.social•104 days ago

Because this is a President who doesn’t have to fear for his re-election.

joerglau.bsky.social•104 days ago

Not good enough

luislohaus.bsky.social•104 days ago

I know. But given the situation in domestic politics, Biden did a great job in forming the Western Alliance for Ukraine.

joerglau.bsky.social•104 days ago

Still, we’re about to lose

luislohaus.bsky.social•104 days ago

Sadly it does look this way…
