A US announcement of a plan to station long-range missiles in Germany for the first time since the cold war has set off a diplomatic furore between Washington and Moscow and elicited comparisons to the European missile crises of the 1980s.
Russian and US officials both accused each other of provoking the escalation on Thursday, as arms control experts warned that the deployments of missiles on the European continent, after the collapse of the Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces (INF) treaty, could fuel a new arms race.
The decision to station non-nuclear Tomahawk cruise, SM-6 and hypersonic missiles in Germany from 2026 was welcomed by Germany’s chancellor, Olaf Scholz, who said it “fitted exactly” into his government’s security strategy, even as the move attracted fierce criticism amid fears it would make Germany more vulnerable to attack.
Scholz said the decision had been long in the making and would come as “no surprise” to anyone who was knowledgable about security and peace policies.
WWIII seems to be happening sooner than expected.
I wonder if BRICS will back Russia on placing missiles in Cuba again.
Where did you get that quote from? It’s not in the article.
It’s a quote I like to mention whenever there is news that shows NATO is trying really hard to help us get closer to WWIII happening.
I don’t think any corporate (and non-corporate) news or organization would mention negative rhetoric about NATO.
Ah yes, the classic “I can’t back up my argument because the entire mainstream media is hiding the truth from me” defense. Very convincing and believable.
I don’t know what Putin pays you but it’s not enough to cover the number of Ukrainian and Russian citizens who have been needlessly murdered because of Putin’s imperialist neo-USSR fetish. NATO has never had anything to do with any of this.
Damn son, you’re an idiot lol.
