How Ukraine uses different NATO missile to target the Kerch Bridge | Matthew Savill

[@drlegendre]

Well, being that the Kerch bridge is partially on Ukraine territory, it's no problem hitting it with anyone's weapons - right?

[@chrissmith2114]

Putin built Kerch Bridge without planning permission, it has to be demolished..

[@MrJohntheHarp]

Times Radio, please can you sort out your volume levels mix. I like your content etc.... but either the interviewer or intervie'es volumes are way out of balance. Thank you :) ie, ones too loud -vs- cant hear the other one. Otherwise great, thanks

[@Lyle-In-NO]

The guest's audio really sux. He needs to find a place without all the echo.

[@foilhat1138]

What a guy can't even conduct an interview from his glass dome anymore?

[@omegaz3393]

@Lyle-In-NO The echo is bad. The volume difference is even more an issue. To hear the guest speaker, the volume is blasting from the host.

[@Technoriety]

He also needs a better microphone that can be moved closer to his face. That would help reduce the reverberation of the background room ambience. The Times should stop interviewing this guy until the audio is fixed.

My understanding is that the Bundestag is all for supplying the Taurus cruise-missile to Ukraine but it's that coward Oscar Scholz who's blocking the transfer, so time for the Bundestag to override Scholz or remove him from office and replace him with someone who has a spine.

[@lawrencekling8598]

I don't think Chancellor Scholz will win in next election. German voters can see that he's weak leader. FYI he won't send Taurus missiles to Ukraine ever.

[@tommygun5038]

They need other things before Taurus.

[@John-hu9qg]

Scholz knows that the writing is already on the wall here for Ukraine, and Berlin plans reestablish dialogue with Moscow sooner or later at some capacity to ensure German industrial competitiveness, in relation to energy and industrial raw materials from Russia, because their large Asian manufacturing rivals already have that advantage.

[@felixf.3392]

Why was the USA so successful during the Cold War? It implemented the Marshall Plan to economically strengthen its partners in Europe. The USA was the largest economy and opened its market to the products of its allies. The USA offered its allies a security umbrella with nuclear deterrence through NATO. As a result, America managed to push back the influence of the Soviet Union on Europe and ultimately win the Cold War. The alliance between Western Europe and the USA is proving difficult these days. For example, Germany follows a mercantilist economic model and is therefore dependent on cheap energy and large export markets. Russia and China can provide both of these for Western Europe like no other country. The USA, on the other hand, is becoming increasingly less important as an economic partner. And since the collapse of the Soviet Union, there is no serious military threat from Russia to Western Europe. Nevertheless, tens of thousands of American soldiers are still stationed on German soil in hundreds of US military bases and US nuclear weapons. If you look at the situation objectively from the US perspective, America is protecting Europe from the countries with which it has close trade relations. Europe's core interest, however, is to further expand its economic relations with the USA's biggest competitors. Don't be blinded by the politicians' rhetoric. Feelings, shared history, values, culture and traditions play no role at all in whether alliances really work. What matters is whether the interests coincide. And it turns out that the interests of Europe and the USA can no longer be reconciled today and this partnership will soon end.

On 6/5/24 The UK signalled (in a coded response in the Independent 6/5/24) that we "no longer regard the bridge as of logistical importance to Russia". Draw your own conclusions about the nature and level of threats Sergei Lavrov made to the ambassadors of the UK, US, France etc on 5/5/24 regarding our missiles being used against Russian territory. The French (for Macron's recent bellicosity) were ordered to send their ambassador to Putin's reinauguration ceremony (he was the sole Western diplomat in attendance).
