Selenskyj sagt in Ramstein: Ukraine braucht Langstreckenwaffen und die Erlaubnis, Ziele tief im Inneren Russlands anzugreifen

Permission granted

Would be my opinion

The West is slow rolling it. Either through fear or due to not wanting a big escalation before the election.

It’s shameful. We should be giving Ukraine all the support, and permission, to strike what they need to.

Yeah, escalating things even more with a nuclear superpower seems like the smartest choice. I mean, what could possibly go wrong here?

Surely if Ukraine gets all the support they need and bombs Russia to hell, Russia will eventually go like “OK Ukraine, you win. Take all the land back. Oh and go ahead and join NATO. We’d love to have them on our border”. This really seems like the most realistic scenario.

Hope the west gives Zelensky all the support he needs. It will surely end well for Ukraine (and the world). The more Ukraine pushes Russia to the point of desperation, the less likely they are to push the red button, and the sooner we will have peace.

I really admire how deftly Ukraine + the west are playing this in public. There’s been a slow but steady escalation in weapons and support; if the current level of supply and use in Ukrainian attacks on Russia had been leapt to a year ago it would have provoked a more dramatic response from Russia.

And even now there’s a constant background of “it’s not enough, they’re holding us back”. Which is partly true, and partly careful messaging to support the story that NATO is being very careful not to get too involved.

I’m sure there’s real frustration, and I’m sure more support would win the war faster, but this whole thing is kind of a reverse Vietnam and it is good to see the west playing this well.

Zelensky at a Rammstein concert would be some sight.
