Budapest? Not everyone may remember this, but in 1994 Ukraine already got assurances of territorial integrity from the US, Russia and the UK. In Budapest. Maybe I’m superstitious, but this time I would try to find another place.

It just occurred to me that of all the state leaders meeting in the White House, Zelensky represents the country with the largest army. Sure, the US and others have more expensive equipment, but it's still food for thought.

If the Flamingo missile works well, it is also interesting as an export object. Many European countries could use a long-range ground based cruise missile.
On thing to note is that the long-range strike issue is one area where the Merz government handled matters well.

I am not a fan of the decision not to supply Taurus in the end, as the political signal would have been important.
