German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has long supported sending Taurus missiles to Ukraine — but now, as leader of a WEAK coalition, he can’t decide alone without risking his government’s collapse, Mikael Valtersson, former Swedish Armed Forces officer and defense politician, tells Sputnik.
Highlights of the interview:
SPD Resistance
A faction within Germany’s Social Democrats opposes any escalation, and Taurus deliveries could split the party — toppling Merz’s government.
Backup Plan?
Instead, Merz may push economic & tech aid for Ukraine to develop its own long-range missiles — a "watered-down Taurus" that avoids direct German involvement.
The Escalation Trap
Every Western move brings Europe closer to full-scale war with Russia, which sees NATO as an "unassailable base" for anti-Russian operations.
Nuclear Recklessness
"The immature recklessness of European leaders in provoking the world’s top nuclear power is astounding. They know Europe can’t survive a nuclear war — yet they prolong Ukraine’s suffering just to bleed Russia."
