The Russia/Ukraine War Thread


Sharpshooter

Recommended Posts

To add to an earlier post of the massive protest against Scholtz in Germany  this morning:

 

 

 

 

Olaf Scholz's party infiltrated by Russia? 

There have been calls for Taurus missiles to be delivered to Ukraine for months. 
SPD defense politician Arlt said yesterday that these could not be reproduced in a timely manner and that Germany would then be left without them. Increasing weapons production capacity in Germany is generally difficult. That's why the SPD is against a delivery of Taurus to Ukraine. 
German media 
(SPD is the party of Olaf Scholz) 

The manufacturer of Taurus said yesterday: 
Joachim Knopf, Managing Director of Taurus Systems GmbH: “We can push forward both the #Taurus new production, the platform integration and the overhaul of the inventory at short notice. The prerequisite is the order from the customer.” (i.e. Olaf Scholz) 

SPD politicians have repeatedly claimed that Germany only has 150 operational Taurus. 
The manufacturer said this in an interview with politician Roderich Kiesewetter: 
All 600 are ready for use, some just need to be certified. 

Olaf Scholz has been blocking the delivery of Taurus for eight months. 

How far has Olaf Scholz's SPD been infiltrated by Russia?

The SPD around Olaf Scholz have been caught within another embarrassing situation regarding the TAURUS missile.

Defense politician Johannes Arlt of the SPD claimed that Germany cannot deliver this missile because it would leave Germany vulnerable and that new missiles cannot be produced for a foreseeable period of time.

However, the manufacturer, MBDA Deutschland (@MBDADeutschland), already mentioned back in November that it can ramp up production and reiterated this stance yesterday once again, exposing the hollow statement by this part of the German government.

Another non-related post but considering Finland is now in NATO & bordering on Russia (great strategy Poutine lol) but here is a movie trailer:

 

 

Sisu is a unique Finish term essentially roughly meaning "a real bad ass; a person you don't want to **** around with" as Stalin's soldiers found out in WW2.

 

Though technically an "ally" of Nazi Germany during WW2 (more out of self-perservation as the Soviets were invading them), near as I can tell, the Finnish authorities ignored the "Nazi policy of turning in Jews in their country (something most/all of their "axis allied countries" did do)".  A citizen of Finland was a citizen of Finland no matter what the faith.  Unfortunately they did turn over a large number of Soviet prisoners of war over to the Germans (some of whom likely were Jewish).

Saw most of this movie, missing I'd say about 30 minutes at the start.

I'd like to see the beginning as well.

Good movie, doesn't have that Hollywood 'sheen' to the photography, and the special effects are quite good, for a non Hollywood budget.

 

"He's not immortal, he just refuses to die"

 Just watched the trailer,  oh well- messed up the quote a bit

All of these “leaders” who represent countries, and engage in the Democratic free process of the world,  .. only to stall hinder or disrupt should be vetted at the World Level of International Intelligence .

 

if they are found to take money or be corrupt to that process,  that country should lose its privilege to sit and vote.

Germany has been backtracking this statement from the manufacturer of Taurus..

 

 

“Defense firm denies German politician's claim on missile supplies to Ukraine.

German defense contractor Taurus Systems said on Jan. 20 that it could build up its Taurus cruise missile production very quickly, even if Germany sent some to Ukraine. The company effectively denied a statement made earlier by Johannes Arlt, an expert at Germany's Social Democratic Party. He claimed that Germany's defense industry would struggle to replenish its needed stockpiles if it sent the missiles to Ukraine.”

 

just my thoughts here,.  
 

Let them go into business and be manufactured in UKraine,

 

Manufacturer wants to sell, UKR is in a solid position to buy.
