German government considers delivery of Taurus cruise missiles.

German arms aid to Ukraine has so far followed a pattern: first doubts prevail in the German government, then it is examined and in the end it is delivered after all. That was the case with tanks - and it could now be the same with cruise missiles.
According to SPIEGEL, the German government is examining how Germany can supply Ukraine with Taurus cruise missiles from Bundeswehr stocks in the coming months. Discussions with the arms industry are currently underway and are being kept carefully secret.
The background to this is that Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) wants to make technical modifications to the Taurus to ensure that Ukraine cannot use the long-range weapon system to carry out attacks on Russian territory. As before, the chancellor is concerned about an escalation of the war.
In recent weeks, the house of Defense Minister Boris Pistorius (SPD) has asked the Taurus manufacturer to include a corresponding limitation for target programming in the cruise missiles.
Industry circles said such a limitation of the system was entirely possible, but would take several weeks. According to SPIEGEL information, Chancellor Scholz will not approve the Taurus delivery until he is convinced of the technical modification. But he no longer has any fundamental doubts about the idea.

=> Guess what ? I would not be surprised if Ukraine ends up getting these missiles too.

If Trump is assassinated, I can see armed uprisings happening against the democrats. And Trump's supporters are armed to the teeth. I don't think they're dumb enough to kill him, or risk having their entire families flayed, burned alive, boiled alive, etc.

I watched Starship Troopers long time back. Whether Trump is worse than Biden , that is subjective to be honest. Given the fact that the support he is receiving now. I do not think any of the Republican candidates can go head to head with him at least for now.

He is a clown. Listen to his speeches for real, not quotes deranged by media. Republicans are supposedly cinservative. Why do they vote for a clown?

Donald Trump keep things very simple and basic and talks in a language that his cult, err i mean, his fanbase, sorry i mean, his supporters, can understand. That is what attracts them. i guess?

From what I've seen they voted for him because he was the only person voicing their opinions, of course the rest of the Republicans have mostly jumped on the bandwagon now but they probably hated him more than the democrats to begin with, he embarrassed the hell out of them during GOP primary lol.
