Chancellor Friedrich Merz hails the new pact as a virtual merging of the two countries’ military-industrial components: Will Trump lend NATO support to this escalation?
Leo Hohmann – Leo’s Newsletter May 28, 2025
Germany, under new Chancellor Friedrich Merz, has agreed to a $5 billion military aid package for Ukraine, and that will include making Taurus long-range missiles specifically for Ukraine to fire into Russian territory.
In what amounts to a massive escalation, the German chancellor confirmed that Germany has removed all restrictions on how far into Russia the Taurus missiles may be fired in efforts to strike Russian targets.
Merz said Wednesday during a visit by Ukrainian President Zelenskyy that Berlin will help Kiev develop new long-range weapons that can hit targets deep inside Russia, AFP reported.
“Our defence ministers will sign a memorandum of understanding today regarding the procurement of Ukrainian-made long-range weapons systems,” said Merz, without naming the manufacturers involved.
“There will be no range restrictions, allowing Ukraine to fully defend itself, even against military targets outside its own territory,” he told a joint press conference.
The production of long-range weapons “can take place both in Ukraine and here in Germany,” he said. “We will not provide any further details until further notice.”
Merz hailed the project as “the beginning of a new form of military-industrial cooperation between our countries that has great potential.”
Taurus missiles are capable of striking targets up to 500 kilometers away and potentially reaching the Russian capital from Ukrainian territory.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has clearly warned that if Germany sends Taurus missiles to Ukraine for use against Russia, then Germany will be considered an “active combatant” in the war, and Russia will respond accordingly.
The German chancellor’s big announcement Wednesday on plans for a new miliary partnership with Ukraine has the Russian media speculating on where this latest escalation will lead. And it’s not pretty.
“Russia would not rule out a direct strike on Berlin if German personnel help Ukraine target Moscow with German-supplied Taurus missiles,” RT Editor-in-Chief Margarita Simonyan, has warned in an article at RT.com.
In a post on Wednesday, Simonyan warned that Germany could face dire consequences if the Taurus is ever used for attacking the Russian capital, a prospect that now seems imminent in light of Wednesday’s announcement by Merz.
“In Moscow offices, it is being discussed that if German troops strike Moscow with German weapons… the only option left for us is to strike Berlin,” the RT editor stated.
She went on to explain that a Taurus strike on Moscow would have to be prepared and executed by German service members because the Ukrainians “cannot maintain [the Taurus] or program it for flight missions.”
Responding to Merz’s comments on lifting the restrictions, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, noted that if such a decision had indeed been made, it would lead to “serious escalation” and undermine current efforts to settle the Ukraine conflict.
The previous German government, led by ex-Chancellor Olaf Scholz, had long refused to supply Ukraine with Taurus missiles, arguing that this would put Germany at risk of being drawn directly into the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
Apparently, that’s what Merz wants. Germany under this new government has lost its mind. And if the Germans don’t regain their sanity, we will wake up one day to learn that Berlin has been reduced to ashes.
It could not be more clear from their rhetoric that the threesome of Germany, Britain and France together want war with Russia. Poland is equally eager for war with Russia. I still believe these countries will back off, however, unless they can coax the U.S. administration of Donald Trump into backing their escalation efforts.
The ball will be in Trump’s court, to reject the European lust for war, or to embrace it. If Trump embraces it, we will see death and destruction on a scale the world has never known. A World War III showdown would inevitably culminate in a nuclear confrontation between the U.S. and its European allies with Russia, China, North Korea and their allies. If that happens, there will be no winners. Only losers.
We must pray that the nations don’t continue to walk down Satan’s path of utter destruction. Satan has always hated nations and is out to destroy them so he can get on with his plan of a truly one-world totalitarian system that will reign supreme for a short time before it, too, is destroy by Christ Himself, who will rule and reign under a system of true righteousness and justice. Everything we see currently is Satan trying to set up a counterfeit global system based on evil and injustice.
This is all very unclear, but if we take this at face value, then Germany has effectively declared war with Russia.
A senior Russian military official has said ‘Russia will not only shoot these Taurus missiles down, and destroy their launch sites, but we will also attack where they came from’… Germany’.
Sounds like a warning to the Germans, but it’s also a warning to Putin. Growing numbers of elite Russians have had enough of the soft play, and they want the gloves to come off.
Funny how Donald Hitler mouths off on Zelensky and Putin, but not Mers? Donald Hitler wants a deal, but only his deal, which won’t happen, so he’s probably okay with Russia hitting targets in Germany, bacause some Nazi NATO members won’t vote for article 5.
LOL..
“It could not be more clear from their rhetoric that the threesome of Germany, Britain and France together want war with Russia. Poland is equally eager for war with Russia.”
All the old whores of yourope..getting the band together one last time for the farewell tour.. before the coffin lid slams shut..
the old jewish manager backstage wheelin’ an’ dealin’ for the brown M&M’s in hospitality and Uncle Sam putting up the cash for the big stadium gigs…and all that lovely merchandising…
exit stage left…when it’s all over..
By the way..
remember WW2?..
no, neither do I..
but apparently the yankee establishment do…because of course it plucked them from a swizzler created financial rapefest..and kick started their economy…
not only that, once yourope was smouldering, they became the reserve currency, which gave them the magical ability to export all their inflation and print as much money as they wanted..to fund their burgeoning MIC..
So new Rome was born..out of the Fed’s arse…
Now of course the party’s over because their jewish owners got too inventive and more than a tad greedy with their money magic by leveraging their debt and selling it again and again a thousand fold…outsourcing their production in the process for even more gelt…
getting very rich in the process..but now the piper has come a calling and widget world has ground to halt…it’s inhabitants well and truly fucked, morally, financially and spiritually
It seems that the hollow men think they can pull it off again…lie their way to a better future and keep the carousel spinning…
…but that train’s long left the station..
Check out images of the Jewess Margarita Simonyan who is the ‘editor in chief’ of RT. I told you Jews manage the MSM of Russia just as they control the MSM of Europe/US/OZ-NZ. Don’t you get it yet?–they’re all in on it. Setting up & agitating the whites for another coordinated war. What these various alt news sites don’t tell you is that both ‘sides’ (NATOUkraine/Russia) are governed by the same global cabal of Zionist-Communist bankers/magnates/rabbis, pretending to be ‘enemies’ to setup & choreograph Waste Whitey III to further decimate the white race & advance Jewish-Christian eschatology. now you know
dear ear..
“Such is life, my fellow-mummers-just like a poor player that bluffs and feints his hour upon the stage, and then cheapens down to mere nonentity. But let me not hear any small witticism to the further effect that its story is a tale told by a vulgarian, full of slang and blanky, signifying-nothing.”
Margarita Simonyan..
The case of Germany is a case of parasitosis, parasite infestation.
An entirely similar scenario happens in the natural world with the so called “zombie parasites”, or Mind-Control parasites.
Two examples:
Toxoplasma controls the mind of infected mice so that they develop a behaviour conducent to them being caught by cats, which are notorious propagators of the parasite.
Some varieties of the “zombie fungus” of the Cordyceps group infect ants and control their minds so that they crawl to the highest point in a plant, and bite themselves in firmly into the plant so that birds can catch and eat them easily, propagating the parasite via their excrement when it falls to the ground or to a tree branch.
What is happening to Germany is very similar to this.
Infestation by a parasite that wishes Germany no well, but destruction, the destruction not fully accomplished in WW2.
Nico Antiochus–your writing is getting a bit less shrill and black-pilled, so well done for that, but your errors are still the old Nico ones
I was listening to Dr Gilbert Doctorow earlier today, and he said Russia will likely hit targets inside Germany, and he said something that I’ve been saying for quite some time.
If Russia strikes targets in Germany, Nazi Amerika will do sweet FA! I’ve said this about bankrupt tyrannical Britain. If the UK gets nuked, the US will do nothing.
They used to say that confidence in the stock markets was everything, but that advice disappeared when the debt paid for everything, and it’s the same with Nazi NATO, confidence is everything, and when there’s none, there’s nothing. Nazi Amerika doesn’t want to be nuked, and there are many European NATO countries who won’t vote for Article 5. The French are the only European country with nukes, and I wouldn’t be surprised if Nazi Amerika didn’t take out French nukes. They kmow where they are, and they’ll know when they are being prepped.
Will someone please tell thezio-kike to FO…..this is beyond a joke.
SURELY GERMANS WILL STOP THE CRYPTO JEWS IN GERMANY DRAWING THE COUNTRY INTO ANOTHER DEADLY WAR.??????

I’ve come to the conclusion it doesn’t matter how many threats and provocations Russia absorbs, the mostly unelected leaders in NATO and the EU as well as the neo-cons in the US agitating behind the scenes, they’re just not going to give up to the point the west will definitely end up at war with Russia.
For some reason they’re not so confident to say to their people we’re going to war whether you want it or not, even though that’s what they think and it’s what they’re clearly after, and they’re so anti-democratic as to take it there anyway, so why they still won’t say so seems strange. Something’s holding them back, which for the dictatorship they have become yet daren’t quite say this is the plan like it or not, suggests to me they’re hedging their bets in case this all ends in failure and they may yet be brought to account. If so it’s likely Russia more than western justice, and it still scares them badly for all their tough talking.
I’m starting to think western politicians are such cowards, such utter poltroons, that they would rather send their people to war in which they won’t be going, rather than defy US politicians when it is them who must then face them, that choosing war over doing the right thing becomes a no-brainer, don’t even ask.
fine ! I hope Putin sends his Oreshnik on Bundestag
and Ramstein ! we dont need those assholes !
They must be kicking themselves in the Kremlin for not finishing the job in 1945. That’s the lesson of history – you have to exterminate an enemy, because if you don’t, they will eventually come back at you.
Nico X–sometimes you use the name “psych nurse” even when you are not wheeling out this unfunny joke
Not everything Nico X says is sheer lunacy. This time, he is making some very good points and displaying good insights into what’s REALLY going on (or least likely going on).
Also, I did a quick read-up on Antiochus IV Epiphanes…good call, Nico!
anonymous sounds like an anti-german commie, upset the commies didn’t eradicate the germans in wwII
