As far as I'm concerned, I couldn't care less whether there's troops in Ukraine, I'd cheer on British troops helping to launch missiles onto Russians, having said that, Scholz needs to pick his words more carefully if these things are even true and if allies don't want it in the open. Having said that, it's curious how France have mentioned the possibility now, followed by Canada and a few other countries, it feels intentional.

Anyway, Taurus has a better shot at taking down Kerch Bridge than Storm Shadow (which likely couldn't) but if a compromise is for Germany to send UK Taurus missiles so that UK can send more Storm Shadow's to Ukraine then I really don't see any excuse why Germany can't do that, Taurus wouldn't be used, they'd just be used to keep UK's defences up while we empty our stock of Storm Shadow.

Unless Germany doesn't trust us with the technology, Lol.

Bring on the next Ringtausch then.

As for soldiers of NATO countries in Ukraine, I wouldn't be afraid of that. At least then we would know for sure that Ukraine is going to get more and better equipment, because NATO countries wouldn't send in their own soldiers with second-grade equipment. The red line should be Russian territory (as in, the real Russia), not Ukrainian territory.

I'm pretty sure that Russia knows that using nukes or attacking any NATO country in any manner in retaliation will only invoke a stronger NATO response, so if Storm Shadow could obliterate Russia's plans for the Black Sea while Russia did nothing in response (other than retreat, of course), then NATO soldiers in Ukraine really aren't as much of a daring move as a lot of politicians (Russia's and the West's alike) want us to believe.
