Reply to comment by Current-Direction-97 in Germany’s Scholz denounces ‘bidding war’ over jets for Ukraine by SANS_CRICKET
Germany is not a Russian puppet. Germany knows its role in Western Europe and has been carrying it out in a very deliberate fashion since the beginning of this conflict.
Demanding Germany knee jerk into obliging every single new weapons request originating out of Ukraine would be reckless.
There are risks to every new xfer and those risks have to be weighed.

The ships in question are in Turkish waters. I'm aware of Turkey's role in the Black Sea.

There would be no reason for Russia to block these ships. The ships are in Turkish waters.
I'm confused by all this, ra-ra-sink'em nonsense.

These ships are in Turkish waters. Why would Russia block them?
Russia is blockading Ukrainian ports.

Reply to Netanyahu to suspend Israeli judicial overhaul plan after protests by MijTinmol
What I don't understand is that this Plan was well known during the elections and yet his Far Right Party swept right back into power with an almost resounding "yes" from the voters.
What am I missing here?
