>614 rockets, cruise missiles, and drones were fired by Russia at Ukraine last night, causing massive damage in the western part of the country.
>This is not only further proof that everything Friedrich Merz, Mark Rutte, and others have been cozying up to Donald Trump for in recent days was a complete misfire – Trump and Witkoff cannot read Putin, do not understand him, and have no influence over him.
>It is also evidence that our military strategy – almost exclusively supplying extremely expensive air defense systems – is fundamentally flawed.
>This year, too, Germany is providing Ukraine with air defense systems and ammunition worth five billion euros. Yet, even these do not deliver enough interceptor missiles to effectively shoot down the Russian attack weapons used last night.
>In contrast, a paltry 400 million euros are allocated for offensive weapons (good Ukrainian systems, but far too weak), which would actually be needed to destroy weapons factories and bases in Russia.
>Effective weapons like Taurus, JASSM-ER, or Tomahawk are no longer even discussed.
>The result was once again evident last night. Therefore, I say it again: The way we are doing things now, we are defending Ukraine to death. Whether out of strategic incompetence or intent – I don’t know.
