The Pentagon is expected to cancel a plan to send Tomahawk missiles to Germany partly because officials are concerned Russia will view it as an escalation, a startling reversal of a long-planned agreement with one of America’s biggest allies.

Russia's winning move it to declare unfair war tactics by the other side before the war starts.

Did you read that? BEFORE the war STARTS. They are going to START a war.

They don't want the other side to be able to defend themselves...WHEN THE WAR STARTS.

Yes, all of Europe disarmed after WW2. We are ripe for the taking and are scrambling to get our shit back together.

We are not that disarmed, plus Russia can't even win over Ukraine and now they are expected to wage a full war against NATO?

Is this sarcasm? I don't like seeing /s but sometimes it's necessary unfortunately

Sorry, no sarcasm here today. Check back after the next presidential election...if there ever is one.

France has a nuclear umbrella, if I remember correctly they're the only one in the EU that does, but Britain and Canada are both part of NATO so they contribute to the deterrent.

Also, russia would get wrecked in Poland and the Baltics.

I'd wager the US has blown through way more of their stockpile than anyone expected since they keep throwing munitions ineffectually at Iran. Cancelling the German deal means more capacity to build back their own supply.

This is possibly the real reason. But they’ll never admit that.

There’s no way in hell this little nonsense in Iran lobbing missiles from ships offshore is anywhere near a fraction of a percent of the weapons used in both Iraq and Afghanistan over the last three wars there.

“President avoids instantly granting the military industrial complex additional funds.” That’s an ousting. Please be an ousting. Surely negative market performance and sentiments are enough to make this an ousting. I’m on my hands and knees begging for an ousting. Capitalism, capitalize. Please.
