Lest you get the impression I'm any kind of Guardianista.. I read it cos it's free and I'm cheap, and while the domestic politics is not always aligned with mine they also have wide-ranging contributions such as this form a German journo..

Means all now should praise Olaf Scholz and give him the credit for pushing Biden to deliver M1 Abrams.
You will not read that in Daily Heil or any other brirish media though, its way to easy to present germans as the bad guys.

Scholz is a guy who takes care about his country and also helped Ukraine a lot without the antics of Johnson. There is a simple reason why Scholz said he wants to be part of alliance in this war. Scholtz also said he wants Ukraine to win this war. And Germany does not want to be the leader in this war in Europe for historical reasons. Which makes perfect sense to me. Also he said on the news that Germany interests does not match 100% US interests. Looks perfectly reasonable to me. Biden has tried to push Germany to be the leader and failed. |
It's comforting to know there is someone at bcf who has a mature grasp of things relating to the Russia V Ukraine (And NATO) war. |
I hope that was irony.

I think that's the point of sending leopard tanks, that they can fast track the training and send enough to be more than a token gesture, which the British and possibly American tanks will be.

Everyone is talking of Billions being put up to help Ukraine. |
The interesting thing I find about this argument is I don't recall conlficts like Iraq or Afghanistan being talked about in terms of money, with the conflicts reportedly costing 30 billion.

We did, for all the good it did our reputation and standing |

Middle-class - yes, but non-practicing.
Woke - hardly.
Nut job - in my dreams. ____________________ Now: A100, GT250A, XJ598, FZ750

All his intelligence sources in the country said Kyiv would just roll over and the people would welcome Russian forces with open arms. That's one load of bribe money pissed away.
All his armed forces said everything's great with the troops and equipment, they were up for tackling anything.
That being said Putin must have known that corruption and misrepresentation are still rife in Russia so he should have taken all that info with a pinch of salt ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |
