Sowing division between NATO allies is a common objective of Russian propaganda.
My first thought.
"As a German..."
Dude, I'm German. Critising my own goverment doesn't sow any divisions.
I'm very much aware of what my government has been doing since I voted for them, there is plenty to dislike, most of which has nothing to do with Ukraine.
You got the wrong picture.
Everyone who provided long range weapons did so under the requirement that they are not used on Russian soil. Taurus has almost twice the range comparatively, being able to reach far into Russia, so there's of course some concerns that they get misused.
That being said, calling the second largest provider of aid "spineless cowards" is moronic. And yes, Germans can very much sow division even within their own country. The AfD does literally nothing but that.
