Helga Zepp-LaRouche and Dr. Theodore Postol: What You Have to Know about the Taurus Missile System (May 21, 11 am)

In discussions with international collaborators, Helga Zepp-LaRouche emphasized the danger emanating from the unwillingness of the European war party to seek peace and use negotiations to bring the Russia/Ukraine conflict to an end. The “Rearm Europe” campaign to make the European nations “war ready” and deliver more heavy weapons to Ukraine is escalating, despite high-level negotiations going on between the US and Russia.

Zepp-LaRouche said:

“Now, very worrisome also in line with the militarization of Europe, is the fact that Germany and Great Britain, together, decided on the development of the new, long-range missile, with a range of more than 2,000 km. That has been presented by the defense ministers of both countries, British Defense Minister John Healey and German Minister Boris Pistorius; naturally 2,000-5,000 km normally is called a medium-range missile, but they are calling it a long-range missile, and obviously, this goes way beyond the Taurus; and the Taurus, this is mooted in some alternative media articles, that Merz may have already decided on the Taurus, and just not made it public.”

“ What is circulating widely is a so-called “Green Book” by the Bundeswehr, which demands a change in mentality, and it’s basically long descriptions and handbooks, how the civilian society must be pulled into military logic; the healthcare system has to be made ready to deal with 1,000 injured per day; then it has all detailed guidelines for how every household should have an emergency reserve of food, water, and electricity, first-aid courses, civil training in the schools, more money for the Red Cross and so forth and so on: It’s a complete hysteria.”

Whereas Merz, in a television show May 15, made an attempt to play down, for the moment, the importance of the discussion about a delivery of Taurus cruise missiles to Ukraine, news from London the same day indicated that there may be worse things on the agenda than the Taurus. The so-called Trinity House agreement signed on October 23, 2024, under German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, will be realized now under Chancellor Merz.

Helga Zepp-LaRouche will be joined by Dr. Theodore Postol, Professor Emeritus of Science, Technology and National Security at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
