German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said Germany would not prohibit Ukrainian attacks on Russian military targets, saying Ukraine “is allowed to defend itself.”

The German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and the French President Emmanuel Macron showed their joint support for Ukraine during a Franco-German defence and security council in Meseberg on Tuesday.

Whilst Chancellor Scholz had previously been firm on Ukraine not using Western weapons to strike Russian targets, he made a step in the direction of Macron, on the third and last day of the French president’s historic state visit to Germany.

Both leaders put their disagreements aside and compromised on the divisive subject of EU defence.

    The tent fire that Israel swears its missiles were to small to make.

    I get the principle of really big boom, and understand Hollywood explosions, but where you have a large amount of energy and flammable materials, I just don’t see how something can be too weak to create a fire, when by its very nature it releases large amounts of energy.

    I’ve seen other missile strikes that cause fires, so what makes this one so special that it can’t?

      I mean a tent city like that is probably full of flammable things, so yeah the missiles probably caused the fire. It doesnt matter if it was on purpose or not, lives were taken and they dont give a fuck and that is all you really need to know imo.
