NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg stated that Russia's attempts to intimidate NATO by planning the assassination of the Rheinmetall CEO are not isolated incidents. Instead of deterring aid to Ukraine, these actions will prompt NATO allies to increase their support. https://t.co/h5qxmJpLfs pic.twitter.com/5kgvd22hiA

It's Germany's biggest arms manufacturer and the 6th largest in Europe. Can't say I've noticed this increase in support aside from the usual, largely defensive aid and already pre-planned equipment, I've not noticed anything of a response equal to Russia trying to assassinate the CEO of Rheinmetall and trying to scare a huge Europe military company into not supporting Ukraine.
Still have that stupid long-range missile restriction, still no Taurus being sent and even if the long-range missile restriction was removed, it was months after this event so it wouldn't have been related, the point is it looks like they didn't react to it at all, now it's too late to talk big, you've just given the greenlit for Russia to do it again.
