German Chancellor Olaf Scholz will insist on refusing to allow Kiev to use long-range weapons received from Germany to attack targets on Russian territory, German newspaper Welt reported on September 14. At the same time, Berlin has continued to ignore Israel’s weapons purchase request since last year.
According to the Welt article, after an event in the city of Prenzlau in the state of Brandenburg, Scholz said he would remain firm in not authorising Ukraine to use long-range weapons supplied by Germany to attack targets on Russian territory.
“That remains the case. That’s why I maintain my position, even if other countries decide otherwise. I won’t do it because I created it as a problem,” Scholz said, as quoted by the newspaper.
In July, Russian President Vladimir Putin warned NATO that Ukrainian attacks with weapons supplied by the alliance against Russian territory meant that the member countries were at war with Russia, stressing that it would change the essence of the conflict since 32 countries of the US-led bloc militarily support Ukraine. Nonetheless, despite Germany’s reluctance, on September 11, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said he spoke with his Ukrainian counterpart, Andrii Sybiha, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky about launching long-range missiles into Russian territory.
Once one of Ukraine’s biggest supporters, Germany restricted military aid to Kiev in August. The decision was taken as an austerity measure due to a lack of funds.
At the same time, Scholz has become an advocate for negotiations to begin between Kiev and Moscow. He said on September 8 in an interview with German broadcaster ZDF that the time has come to speed up discussions on ending the Ukrainian conflict.
“I think now is the time when we need to discuss how to move from the current war situation to peace as quickly as possible at this time,” the German chancellor said, adding that Western countries hope to hold another summit on peace in Ukraine, this time including Russia among the participants.
In the interview, Scholz also addressed the Nord Stream gas pipeline explosion, saying that the causes “must be investigated, and those involved must be held accountable.”
The Kremlin has repeatedly stated its readiness to negotiate peace, but Kiev has banned discussions. In June, Russian President Vladimir Putin put forward Russia’s proposal for a peaceful resolution of the conflict in Ukraine: Moscow would immediately cease fire and declare its readiness for negotiations after the withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from the territory of Russia’s new regions – Donetsk, Kherson, Lugansk and Zaporozhye.
In addition, Putin said that Kiev should renounce its intentions to join NATO, carry out demilitarisation and denazification, and accept a neutral, non-aligned, and nuclear-free status. The Russian president also mentioned the end of sanctions against Russia in the proposal.
Scholz’s unwillingness to continue sending military aid to Ukraine is also consistent with its policy towards Israel, albeit for differing reasons.
Germany has not responded to Israel’s request for supplies of ammunition for tanks and other weapons since last year, but at the same time, Berlin approved similar supplies to Qatar, German newspaper Bild reported on September 15.
Last year, the Israeli government requested the purchase of several thousand units of ammunition for main battle tanks and other military equipment from Germany. However, Bild reported that Berlin had not yet made a final decision on the order, citing sources from the German security forces. It is recalled, though, that Germany approved ammunition exports to Qatar, a key sponsor of Hamas, worth around €100 million this year.
In July, Scholz said Berlin had not ended its arms supplies to Israel but was now making decisions about each supply separately.
“For the Jewish state, which is currently fighting on several fronts against the terrorist groups Hamas and Hezbollah, the purchase of certain military equipment from abroad is particularly important,” wrote Bild journalist Björn Stritzel.
Shortly after the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, Scholz visited Israel and delivered a pledge of unconditional solidarity with the country. “In difficult times, Germany has only one place, and that is by Israel’s side,” he said, adding, “Germany supports the security of Israel and its citizens.”
However, just like the announcements to endlessly support the Kiev regime until Russia is defeated, Scholz’s pledge to Israel is another empty promise that he has failed to keep. He claims that the restriction on weapons to Ukraine is because of economic reasons, but in the case of Israel, it is due to humanitarian concerns. Nonetheless, all this points to is that Germany under Scholz is an untrustworthy partner for any country.

olav scholz is the last politician in europe that can be trusted. even though he is under enormous pressure from the transatlanticists, he never played along with their moronic ideas of attacking russia. with his limited possibilities, he is actually doing great. schloz has to temper idiots everywhere, from the green parasites at home to war mongerers abroad. make germany great again!

and what does it matter. any western promise is not worth anything, they break all of them sooner or later. even the fact they are supplying kiev with weapons, logistics and intel is casus belli. berlin can be leveled to the ground anytime and it would be fully justified. i just don’t understand what takes putin so long.
sarah wagenknecht is the only based politician in the brd of today
bought and paid for limousine commie wretch financed by the same shlomos and only there to dilute the votes to the idf. rocket science it’s not.
i know nothing. i know nothing about nordstream. i know nothing about nothing since i was luftwaffe feldwebel. i just follow orders of joe brandon and my masters in talmudistan. i a good little goy. i do what i am told. they spit in my face and i tell them it is raining. they tell me to drop my trousers and bend over and i always do it straight away. it is so nice. every bundeskanzler has to do this. i must always obey zog.
himmel! the economy is f****d!! no vw, no basf, no siemens, nothing!! all gone bust! germany kaput!! too expensive to make anything here now! we are knackered!! no more cheap energy and metals from the russkis! amerikunts blow our pipeline up and rip us off for lng!! i’ll be out on my ear soon! bareback is after my job!! everybody is voting for those damn nazis in the afd! ach nee, i’m f****d as well!! verdammt!!
didn’t siemens already tell little lord trudeau and his midget nazi mum to stick that nord stream repaired turbine up his arse where the sun don’t shine?
trudeau is biologic son of jesuits castro, one of the richest men alive with mansions galore and the castro family corporation own huge swathes of california according to sources, just like barracks o bomber s stepndad who left him and his siblings loaded with a enormously lavish ltrust fund . allegedly naturally.
your lack of knowledge is obvious
he won’t be allowed too globalism won’t allow any competition.
globalism’s alive and well but not on any terms the western globalists will like.
au contraire
you are either dead or in a coma. germanistan is the second greatest supplier of weapons to both the kiev koke kike and the talmudic kike filth in occupied palestine. spin that, idiot.
i thought eastern ukraine was now part of russia. german weapons have been used there aplenty. scholz always has the haunted look the germans had when they were captured at stalingrad. the look that says things might have been bad upto now but they’re about to get a lot worse as they trudged off to siberia for 10 years.
he does have a trapped animal look but it’s because the american occupation never ended after ww2 and they’re not squeezing blood out of stones with the germans who have just about had enough of the insidious destruction of their country.
he looked much better with his pirate eye patch. aye, matey!
yes we know england is the cradle of piracy matey jolly roger .
normans/vikings were before englishmen. and i guess the piracy in the mediterranean existed from phoenician times, need to read something about that, but not damned “wikipedia”.
because they were an empire not a kingdom you have to understand the law emperors reign over kings globalism is all about totalitarianism . that means one rule of law .
because germany china austro hungary russia japan france were empires hiyker wanted to turn germany back into an empire emperors, arecsuprene over king’s the popes only a king
that is why 10.000 german soldiers in stalingrad who were not under command of von paulus kept on fighting after his surrender.
and ended up pushing up daisies. one thing about nazis ukraine shares, dumb as a box of bricks.
pushing up daisies in the role of fertilizer? ukrainity kills.
actually no my grandfather was, trudged off to siberia but not for long as soon as the dogs ran away chasing some other meat he was moved into a magnificent villa where he was provided a cook a maid a chauffer and so on his home was, magnificent with solid gold fittings 30 foot ceilings massive rooms and gorgeous grounds nothings what they make it seem
i pledge to create ze next reich, ja! ve vill need all ze nazis from ze eu!
actually, that’s a boris johnson imitation.
yes google boris with dame edna everage, the aussie housewife mega star. the show with shane crawford and booboo johnson and mash man, bung eye or whatever his name was, and that one hit wonder murder on tbe dance floor songbird.
yes you reveal yourself clearly to you supporting russia and refusing ukraines rights to use those weapons makes germany your enemy.
i think he probably thinks of germany as more of an annoyance than as an enemy.
no. its just strategies of crowd control. war mind games for the masses.
i love scholzes look. he has that expression on his face that says ” i just got my pooper filled by habeck!”
god i wish it was me. heheheh…..
scholz is a good little nazi. he was my first crush. its also good that he replaced angela merkel. she was so close of curing my gayness. what a beauty she is!
do not understand: izraell is not self-sufficient about ammo production? or simply germans send more economic stuff (=for free?)
course you don’t understand. knowledge is power they don’t hand that out.
zionists are not self-sufficient of course, but all these restrictions will be passed with trading via 3rd country. anyway the main war sponsor of fascists from tel-aviv is not germany. block on financial transaction and civil goods trading will be more efficient. germany gave 4 submarines (“dolphin” type) for free as the part of compensations for genocide, able carry cruise missiles, possibly with nuclear warhead. will scholz dare to stop the maintenance and all such “compensations”?
that look on scholz’s face.
“y’all been playing me for a sucker too damn long.”
am i right?
he’s just being manipulated into position for further escalations. he’s doing what he’s told
when things go hot, 99% of the western “alliance” will pussy out and get cold feet. its only the english and american jewish snakes who are all in on war. the rest of their tag-along team are there to make them look good
the question is how many burning nuclear power plants and nuclear weapon storage facilities can they tolerate on their soil? england? france? and that is even not “nuclear war”
once wars start, apart from the very few that end in a quick victory, they tend to escalate uncontrollably and drag on indefinitely. vietnam 28 years, afghanistan 20 years, gaza nearly a year, ukraine nearly 3 years. (so far) there was a long period of peace in europe from 1945-91. that is over. war is the new normal.
90’s — civil war in yugoslavia. who has recognized separation of croatia first? germany. vile revenge for 1940’s when yugoslavia was the only country apart ussr who fought with nazism and won. denazification in frg (fed.rep of germany) was just imitation while gdr (german dem.rep.) was the antifascist state by the constitution. annexed regions of gdr still vote more reasonably than regions of frg. eastern regions is the base of “alternative”.
fuck them all as they been doing since the begining of the nazi invasion
the closet pedovore pretends to be angry with his anglozionazi owners. how cute! now lets watch the afd cream his a$$ in the state elections on sunday….of course the idf are also owned by yids and also delight in schlepping their fake hollow co$t burden. germanistan is going down even faster than $lumville ussa. z until the entire anglozionazi sewer is blown to hell.
“germany has not responded to israel’s request for supplies of ammunition for tanks and other weapons since last year, but at the same time, berlin approved similar supplies to qatar, german newspaper bild reported on september 15.” if this is journalism who ever is producing it is already beyond help. it is a blatant lie. germanistan is the barbaric zionazi second biggest supplier of weapons after uncle schmuel, jew owned $lumville.
