@jmcs@trajekolus yes and no. The perception is otherwise. The perception is an alliance of western values and democracy. And as we all Know perception is reality. So, yes, #nato sucks. There was no natural law of physics that denied the circling of F35, rafale or Tornados over Kharkiv 230222. None.
@jmcs and would have been #fuckrussia decision to make. Evidence shows the Russian scum backs down only against strength. So, still, #nato sucks. P. S. There l were a zillion options what the orcs could have done except nukes. Dont fall for their propaganda.
"Why is it so hard for western politicians to grasp the broader, existential nature of the Russian threat? Recurring spying rows, sabotage, assassinations, arson and cyber-hacks show Moscow “is waging war on European countries”, Russia expert Edward Lucas warned. “How is it that Russia, a country with an Italy-sized economy, is able to attack the entire west with impunity? The answer is that Russia does not take us seriously.”
USA stellen temporären Hafen für Gazastreifen fertig
Künftig soll mehr humanitäre Hilfe über den Seeweg in den Gazastreifen gelangen. Die USA haben dafür nun einen Behelfshafen fertiggestellt. Ein Ersatz für die Lieferungen über den Landweg soll der aber nicht sein.
@tagesschau@tagesschau - dann berichtet bitte auch darüber, wie die Waffen der #NATO dort im #Gaza alles ausbluten! Genau wegen dieser Doppelmoral steht der Rest der Welt gegen die Reichen NATO-Staaten! NATO Politik tötet überall auf der Welt!
Ukraine-Liveblog: ++ Frankreich will weitere Waffen liefern ++
Frankreich hat angekündigt, der Ukraine weitere Waffen zu liefern. Die russische Armee hat nach Angaben Moskaus das Dorf Buhruwatka in der Region Charkiw eingenommen. Die Entwicklungen im Liveblog.
In #Kharkiv, Russian forces persist in their offensive despite heavy shelling. The defense forces are pushing them back, according to AFU General Staff spokesman Lykhoviy.
The replacement of Sergei #Shoigu with Andrei Belousov as Russia's defense minister strongly suggests that Putin is taking significant steps to mobilize the Russian economy and military-industrial complex - particularly to support the ongoing war in Ukraine and possibly prepare for a future confrontation with #NATO, according to the Institute for the Study of War.
Ukraine-Liveblog: ++ Kiew tauscht Oberbefehlshaber für Charkiw aus ++
Inmitten der russischen Offensive in Charkiw hat Kiew den Oberbefehlshaber für die Region ausgetauscht. Die Ukraine hat nach eigenen Angaben Energieanlagen im Westen Russlands angegriffen. Die Entwicklungen im Liveblog.
@tagesschau Tja, in der Tat hat die #Ampel versagt mit Ihrer blinden #NATO Hörigkeit! Es hätten Menschenleben geretttet werden können, wäre der Mut zur Mehr Diplomatie und Offenhalten von Gesprächskanälen bestanden! Ansatt stämdig neue Waffen, hätten Moderationen und lokalen zivile Friedensarbeit gefördert werden sollen! Der dumme Anspruch des Siegfrieden recht sich jetzt, dass ist die Mitschuld #Deutschland - deutsche waffen, deutsches Geld, morden mit in aller Welt , siehe #Rheinmetall
Some in the #German parliament say they should deploy #NATO air defense on the borders of countries which border #ukraine to cover Ukraine's western areas. This follows a number of #Western countries intercepting missiles bound for Israel earlier in the year.
Germany has committed to purchasing three HIMARS rocket launchers from the USA with the intention to transfer them to Ukraine, as announced by German Defense Minister Pistorius.
#Greece’s Navy extended a series of exercises aimed at preventing tankers from transferring Russian oil just miles off its coastline.
The navy said in a notice that it will be conducting exercises until May 19 in the #Laconian Gulf, an expanse of water that’s become well-known in the oil market as a location for Russian oil switching. It had been due to finish on May 9.
After #Russia invaded #Ukraine in February 2022, Western nations were quick to offer #Kyiv their support. The #US leads in military aid, while #Germany is the top European donor and a critical supporter of Ukrainian refugees.
These figures reflect publicly declared support and exclude aid for things like maintaining Ukraine’s critical infrastructure.
2 years ago, #Germany’s chancellor Olaf Scholz outlined bold, long-term goals: Strengthen the country’s depleted military with extraordinary investments and adopt an assertive foreign policy defending global norms.
And he has mostly delivered on that promise, explains an expert on international security, who says the ‘legacy of his strategic pivot is likely to endure’
A former German army captain has admitted spying for #Russia, saying he was motivated over fears of a global nuclear escalation amid Russia's war in #Ukraine.
Identified only as Thomas H., the 54-year-old went on trial in #Dusseldorf on April 29 charged with conducting espionage on behalf of #Moscow and leaking state secrets.

Und wie lange sich der Westen das noch ansehen ohne wirklich zu helfen?
Stattdessen wird immer mehr über die eigene Schwäche geredet.
Die #NATO muss dringend vor Ort unterstützen.
Was will der #Putin denn tun? Die #Bombe zünden? Der ist zwar doof, aber nicht dumm und weiß, dass es beim Erreichen der (irrsinnigen) Ziele nicht zuträglich sein wird.
Wo ist also das Risiko? Richtig, es gibt keins.
Stoltenberg fordert NATO zu schnelleren Waffenlieferungen an Ukraine auf
NATO-Generalsekretär Stoltenberg reist zum dritten Mal seit Kriegsbeginn in die Ukraine. Im Gepäck: Kritik an den Bündnisstaaten. Zusagen für Waffenlieferungen seien nicht eingehalten worden.
As Gen. Omar Bradley is credited as saying, “Amateurs talk strategy. Professionals talk logistics.” Indeed, from the American Revolution to modern-day conflicts in Afghanistan and Ukraine, the U.S. Army’s ability to effectively manage resources, transport troops and supplies, and adapt to changing circumstances has been not
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg during today's visit to Berlin:
"Let's be honest, in recent months NATO allies have not provided the support [to Ukraine] that we promised... But it is not too late for Ukraine to win, because even more help is on the way" said Stoltenberg. #AureFreePress#News#press#headline#Ukraine#Russia#Putin#EU#NATO
But if the real object is #NATO , IMO, it's time for NATO to get in the fight. I think NATO should directly guarantee the security of air and sea in non-conflict zones. Further, NATO technical teams should be in harms way at power, water and other key infrastructure sites to deter attacks. Lastly, Ukraine can join NATO in a protectorate status vs full membership.
The #Biden administration is preparing a larger-than-normal package of military aid for #Ukraine that will include armored vehicles, in addition to urgently needed artillery and air defenses, according to two U.S. officials.
Nato’s failure to save Ukraine raises an existential question: what on earth is it for? ( www.theguardian.com )
