    Sometimes I am completely at awe how bad politicians are in playing chess. Look at Merz, for example.

    He could have said “yeah, you know, we are in a coalition with the SPD, they were always against sending Taurus. So, we benched the topic until a later time, as we need to solve issues at hand, getting the government startet and all.”
    People would have been fine. That would be believable.
    But then, he could have send a few dozend of the Taurus anyhow. Let the Ukraine plan a one time big attack on multiple important targets. Have them do it.
    And then, when it becomes clear that it had been Taurus the were used, and Merz got asked why he “lied” or didn’t say, he could have gone like “oh swell, Putin is fucking lying every day. Grow up, guys, this is a war and i wont explain my plans to you beforehand. Next question?”

    But nu-uh. Everything gets spoilered months before anything might happen. Russia knows, prepares accordingly.

    Loosers.
