    While yes, what he said was probably pretty dumb, what kind of escalatory ladder can Putin climb? He’s already threatening to nuke everyone every other week. Doubt this, which he probably already knew, is going to be what makes him do it.

      I don’t know if my reading comprehension is poor or the Independent managed to write everything but what Scholz said (in both this article and the self-referenced article within)…

      Can someone please clarify? What intelligence did Scholz apparently breach?

        From something I read yesterday he apparently talked about the UK helping them with targeting and intelligence with personnel on the ground. If I remember right.

        It’s not exactly surprising news, so to elaborate, I think the criticism towards him has been exaggerated. Likely for political purposes.
