| Bofferbrauer2 said: Ukraine urges citizens of Pokrovsk to evacuate post-haste: https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-war-pokrovsk-df997d0f23bd7dcdfc6f20080ab133e7 Looks like the Russiqns are not slowing down on this axis - though it looks like it's a wedge that goes straight to the city... just what the Germans did for Stalingrad... Germany will halt new military aid to Ukraine: https://www.politico.eu/article/germany-halt-new-ukraine-military-aid-report-war-russia/ Germany has used up more than the 100 Billion Euro special budget that they allocated to both Ukraine and to rearm themselves, now the legally-binding Schuldenbremse (debt brake) comes into force and stops the government from spending more money. Which means that some of the promised IRIS-T may not be sent to Ukraine as Germany literally can't afford to produce and send them. |
Germany could easily afford it if they taxed the rich in a fair way. The debt brake is only an issue because it's being used in conjunction with the mantra of "no new taxes." The debt brake is a sensible policy, but letting the rich of the hook is not.
Legend11 correctly predicted that GTA IV will outsell Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I was wrong.
