Olaf Scholz and his office are leading Germany into an abyss of dishonour. They want to avoid the only just course of action: the enablement of a Ukrainian victory. Their cowardly fear of a Russian defeat risks to forever break the bonds of trust between Germany and its Allies.

For those who are getting into the weeds of questions like whether an Ally has made a formal request to Berlin or not, and if not maybe things are not as clear-cut as some say, just stop.
When there's clear leadership, a national discussion just doesn't look like that.

"Putin’s effort to restore Russia’s lost empire is destined to fail. The moment is therefore ripe for a transition to democracy and a devolution of power to the regional levels."

"But for such a political transformation to take place, Putin must be defeated militarily in Ukraine. A decisive loss on the battlefield would pierce Putin’s aura of invincibility and expose him as the architect of a failing state"
@uanews -> penalty for wartime spying?
@uanews -> if the EU had any brains, they would pull ALL EU ambassadors from RU now. Simply trued and true “salami politics” of the Russians.
This was the machine pistol type that was used in the latest mass killing in the US. Made before the 1986 ban, it is legally transferrable. Rate of fire 1500 rounds per minute. Clips of 30. Made to kill lots of people quickly. This is legal to buy/sell. Absolute insanity.
@EHunterChristie -> Estonia and @kajakallas are showing all of Europe what leadership is. Scholz has absolutely NO idea what leadership is.

Correct! Germany has a lot to learn from Estonia about loyalty and commitment to its European allies. https://twitter.com/kaimokuusk/status/1617446383245746176

Polen will Deutschland um Erlaubnis bitten, Leopard-Panzer an die Ukraine liefern zu können. Außenministerin Baerbock hatte zuvor angekündigt, eine Lieferung nicht zu blockieren.

By saying Germany won’t block Poland from sending Leopard tanks, Baerbock is basically daring Scholz to overrule her.
If he does—and blocks other countries from sending Leopards—it will show that Scholz is isolated not only from Ukraine & German allies, but in his own coalition. https://twitter.com/dariusrochebin/status/1617244208795992064

Wow. I didn't realise the extent. This is a great story, and Mr. Petkov and those around him deserve medals.

Norwegian Army estimates RUS mil casualties 180K, Ukraine 100K.
=> essential to arm Ukraine more and better
RUS can and must be made to lose. But any European govt that delays assistance is playing with fire.

It is the assessment of key governments that there is a *short* window of opportunity, the next couple of months perhaps, to significantly increase arms supplies to Ukraine to enable it to mount substantial offensive operations before Russia is in a stronger position.

@EHunterChristie as a German I‘d be completely ok with Poland providing the Leopards to Ukraine. Scholz reputation is in tatters anyway 🤷♂️ who cares ?
