you really should learn how to ignore bait. But then again, you are an admitted troll. You know the idiot boomer generation only hates the government until they are given an enemy to point at and hate on the orders of said hated governments.
It makes no logical sense to engage these useful idiots who cannot even see their own hypocrisy and double standards, does it fill you with glee to rile them up because it is so easy to do? In fact, it is quite clear that the only generation easier to dupe and manipulate than the boomers are the Gen Y/Millennials by simply saying the name ... "Trump" .

THREAD Some bullet points on "Bundeswehr/Taurus Leaks" by the Russian top propagandists. 1) According to Russia, in a "tapped call" four German high-ranked officers discussed technical details of delivering Taurus cruise missiles to Ukraine, and how they can be used. /1
2) It's not clear if the 38-minutes call is authentic. Many details point out, it can be authentic, at least in parts 3) The talk itself is absolutely legal from the point of view of international & of Germany's law. Germany may deliver weapons to Ukraine for self-defence, and /2
..Germany's generals of course need to discuss details of such deliveries, and their impact. 4) What is important. If the tapped call is authentic, it reveals a huge breach in communication security of the Bundeswehr. Russians have managed to record a 38-minutes long meeting /3
4.1) If it was through unsafe access point in a hotel in Singapore (yes, one of the generals allegedly used his hotel internet for a video call on an unsafe platform), or else: the Russians demonstrated how they tap Bundewehr communication. It is a huge price for propaganda. /4
5) Therefore: this leak (or "leak") must be seen as a sign of Russia's desperation. The real addressee of this leak is the German federal chancellor and a part of political elites in Germany. The Russians want us to panic ("oh, the Russians will retaliate! We made them angry!")/5
5.1.) For this psychological warfare, to scare us, to distract us, they are ready to either produce a fake, or (more probable) to disclose their very effective channel of tapping Bundeswehr communication. As of course after this leak, communication protocols will be changed. /6
6) I am not talking about authenticity of the recording or about technical content, or other things I am not an expert in. I am talking about why Russians published this leak. Russia is afraid of Taurus. Russia knows, the only way to prevent delivery is to scare & blackmail us./7
7) The objectives of Russias war outside of Ukraine remain the same: sow mistrust, panic, fear, discord; feed internal fighting; create false debates on unimportant issues while picturing important issues as "crazy fantasies". This Taurus-leak is a perfect example of 🇷🇺PsyOps. /8
8) Its goal is to sow new or increase existing tensions between professional soldiers (generals) and the Chancellor, in the best case to remove some generals with high level of understanding of the war dynamics; also to brand mark Taurus delivery as a "red line" and a "no go". /9
9) We need to remember: any message coming from a Russian source is a toxic trap. Any Russian statement, promise, leak, threat is a tool of war. No signal coming from Russia can be trusted, and must be assessed from a point of view "which Russia's war plans it fits". /10
10) As more evidence come that the #BundswehrLeak is authentic, we need to: (a) fundamentally rethink our approach to security; (b) think about infiltrated Russia's agents; (c) never forget how Russia uses any information, even authentic, as a part of its psychological warfare/11
11) The #BundeswehrLeak is clearly a tool Russia uses to strengthen its assets in Germany, who are now working hard on stopping sending Taurus missiles to Ukraine. Incredibly, how two pro-Russia parties, a far-right AfD and a far-left Linke react in harmony and pro-Kremlin. /12

'The German army is discussing attacks on the Crimean bridge by Ukrainian forces ".
Is how your thread title should read, to make it honest.
