There has been a leak of a recording of the call between the commander in chief of the German Air Force, General Ingo Gerhartz, and Brigadier General Frank Graefe, along with two Bundeswehr officers that was posted online on March 1 on Russian social media. Naturally, despite this being a 38-minute phone call, the Berlin government accused Russia on March 3 of trying to sow disunity following the leak of a confidential conference call between high-ranking German military staff discussing the possible use of German-made Taurus missiles by Ukraine.

Numerous sources in Germany believe this call is genuine and concerns Ukraine’s request, which has been asking Germany to provide it with Taurus missiles. They are discussing sending the missiles so Ukraine can take out the bridge connecting Crimea to Russia. The German Defense Ministry confirmed on March 3 that a “conversation related to the Air Force” had been intercepted.
“Whether changes were made to the recorded oral or written version that is circulating on social media, we cannot say with certainty at this time,” a ministry spokesman said, according to German broadcaster ARD. Representatives of the army told Germany’s other public broadcaster, ZDF, that they considered the recording to be authentic.
This seems to be the same situation as Hillary’s emails. She could never deny that they were real. So she attacked the messenger. This is what Germany is doing right now labeling this a Russia’s propaganda war. But they are real.
“It is part of an information war that [Russian President Vladimir] Putin is waging. There is absolutely no doubt about that,” he said at a news briefing in Berlin. “It is a hybrid attack aimed at disinformation. It is about division. It is about undermining our resolve.”
Astonishingly, they must have called Hillary on how to turn it against Russia even when it is genuine. He said Germany should not “fall for Putin’s line” and the reaction should be “in a particularly level-headed manner, but no less resolutely.”
Is this really Putin’s propaganda war of misinformation when the tape is genuine?
This tape called out how Ukraine could carry out the strike without the involvement of German armed forces and Germany pretends not be involved. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on March 2 that the recording indicated that Ukraine and its backers “do not want to change their course at all and want to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia on the battlefield.” That is what I have been saying all along. This would be be over in 24 hours by just honoring the Minisk Agreement that Chancellor Merkel admitted the West lied to Putin, which was their own misinformation campaign. There is NO LEADER even interested in peace. Nobody in Europe has stood up and waited a minute, nor in North America. All they say is that Putin wants to invade a NATO country. He has had since 1999 to do so. The Russian people are not interested in occupping Europe nor are the European common folk interested in occupping Russia. This is always between elites.
