What's the opposite of global leadership? It's German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, by trying to block even other countries from providing tanks to Ukraine. This just means more Ukrainian civilians dying unnecessarily, and I hope Poland finds a way to simply provide them to Ukraine.

2/ The West has contributed to #Ukraine’s inability to take advantage of having pinned Russian forces in #Bakhmut by slow-rolling or withholding weapons systems and supplies essential for large-scale counteroffensive operations. http://isw.pub/UkrWar012123

The battle against Scholz & Schmidt won't be easy but they must be made to drop these attitudes. The situation is one of high emergency. Allies should coordinate measures to raise the pressure on Berlin. The future of Europe is at stake. And the better Germans are with us.

Ukraine already has other German weapon systems. Heavy artillery! Doesn't that look like 80 years ago? Not less than tanks. And it's near Russia!
Scholz isn't afraid about "the world" viewing anything. He's afraid of Russia being beaten, now, in 2023, in the real world.

The wording matters. *Near* the borders. Not over the borders, but near them. Nobody is allowed to put weapons close to Russia! It also implies it is morally shocking to fight back. Against an invasion. Because you need to get close to Russia to do that, see?
Ding dong 🤪

And on that count, too, he is isolated.
Isolated in cowardice.

The reckoning comes:
Finnish expert says:
"Finland must consider extremely carefully the extent to which it should continue to purchase defense materials from Germany."
"Finland cannot take the risk [to] be tied to a country that humbles itself in front of the enemy."

Germany's incompetent, callous ex-defense minister Lambrecht FORBADE the Bundeswehr to analyze its equipment to determine what could be sent to Ukraine!!
The reason: having this info would increase the pressure on Scholz to deliver Leopard!

Vicious bureaucratic moves to sabotage and derail fully expected, important potential decisions of military solidarity that Ms. Lambrecht knew were coming.
Are there more rotten eggs from where this came from? Meaning the @spdde@twitter.com - the most rotten major political party in Europe.

And this is why Berlin tried to create a linkage between supplying Leopards and supplying U.S. Abrams. It was because the latter idea is deeply impractical. The goal was to generate a pretext for doing nothing. It was calculated and completely dishonourable.

The priority now must be three-fold:
1: everybody else sends everything they can, including Leopards, don't wait
2: continue to pressure Scholz & SPD crazies. Their nonsense must stop
3: start cancelling negotiations for future contracts to buy German (and Swiss) military goods

New policy: I block pro-SPD trolls who waste time with long exchanges on why another Ally hasn't done something, fear of nukes, and other pretexts from spring 2022. I'm not doing a groundhog year. Please do the same. Block the time-wasters.
Our focus: promote the Tallinn Pledge.

Massive disappointment at Germany after lack of decision over Leopard 2. Tanks are critical to Ukraine’s victory. Authorize at least export licenses ! Europe needs more leadership and courage from Berlin. 🇪🇺 🇺🇦 #FreeTheLeopard
