    Is there any hint of a reason why Putin would ever be scared of Taurus missiles?
    from a glance, they look very equivalent to the british storm shadows Ukraine already gets.

    Not that Germany shouldn’t supply, it just seems that this ultimatum is a purely political idea about the upcoming german elections.

      Merz ist a Joke and he will most certainly not pull through if the Trump Administration interferes. Just another US Puppet, which in Turn is a Russian puppet… so yeah, just a stunt.

      Also, what would even be the end of the war? By Putin logic complete and unconditional surrender by Ukraine would also be the end of the war.

      Merz’s threat is not “fuck off behind 1991 borders within 24 hours”. Complete smoke and mirrors shitshow.
