I absolutely think that the decision to not send Taurus will hold up as well as the decision to not send tanks. Or planes. Or ATACMS. It’s just a question of building up pressure and breaking down road blocks. He will cave eventually.

I think the main issue is that Scholzy is scared of Putin reading that it was Taurus that brought down the Kerch Bridge. He fears retribution. I say fuck that, let’s blow up a bridge.

Last info was “we’re not going to give you that right now”. Given how hard the Germans seem to be leaning on their stereotypical deadpan delivery, I’ve started taking statements like that from them in a very literal sense - as in, maybe it’s in a few months, but also, maybe it’s just next week.

yeah the excuse was it was tantamount to active participation in the war because the missiles would need german sourced map data. Well boo fucking hoo, as if russia gives a shit about such technicalities anymore. They’re getting their shit pushed in by Ukraine warriors with western support anyway, whether that one missile had even more western bits in it than usual doesn’t matter at all
