Germany’s next chancellor signaled his willingness to provide Ukraine with long-range Taurus cruise missiles, marking a potential shift in Berlin’s military support as Kyiv continues to press for more high-precision weapons to hit deep into Russian-held territory, The Financial Times reported on April 13.

Friedrich Merz, leader of the center-right Christian Democrats (CDU) and the expected successor to Olaf Scholz said that Germany should participate in supplying Taurus missiles if a joint decision is reached with European allies.

“Our European partners are already supplying cruise missiles,” Merz said. “The British are doing it, the French are doing it, and the Americans are doing it anyway.”

“This must be jointly agreed. And if it is agreed, then Germany should take part,” he added.

    Can you think of a more just war?

    1. Russia promises territorial integrity in exchange for giving up nuclear weapons.

    2. Ukraine says yes and gives up nuclear weapons.

    3. Russia and Ukraine agree and sign a treaty.

    Russia invades Ukraine?!?!

    I personally can not think of a more just war.

    It’s a defensive war against an imperialist aggressor who signed a treaty promising not to invade in exchange for giving up nuclear weapons.

    Open and shut case.

      Where did you disproof any of my claims? This war could have been over long ago without the Proletariat of more than two nations being decimated. But this would stand in the way of capital interest, which is why the peace talks of China and Brazil were ignored by the west. If you want to argue then address my point please.

        The war could have never started if Russia had honored the treaty that it signed.

        Your points are not worth trying to disprove. You make the claims you bring the proof.

        The main point is that Ukraine is fighting a just war and I showed why. You can’t name a more just war.

        This will be my last reply. There is no point in discussing anything more with a less than one day old account. I would recommend using your main account. It at least will be more credible.
