Ukraine should surrender just to save all of us from Russian wrath. US military commanders simply don't believe Russia will use its firepower. The rest of us realize that the Russian military is not full of super military machines. But the few they have could be used against any of us, and we won't know where until we are hit.
I will not answer to a post written in blue large letter on a thread that is not about typography. I will however report it if you keep on making inadequate used of it.
By the way, it seems that Germany has given green light to sending Leopard II to Ukraine. It's impressive capabilities include holding beers while moving in rough terrain. Can't beat that.
Are you seriously? Scholz resisted with all four paws so as not to transfer the Leopards to Ukraine, because this is very unprofitable for Germany, and Ukraine will not help anyway. Well, Europe has lost its right to strategic sovereignty over such matters and has once again been forced to succumb to US pressure.
The transfer of German tanks to Ukraine is not a victory for Ukraine, but a defeat for Germany. Now all European countries have a free hand to transfer their old Leopards to Ukraine, and in return they will buy not new Leopards, but American Abrams. Leopards will burn or get stuck in the impenetrable mud of Ukraine, the US will receive new orders, and Germany will receive nothing.
I am very serious, they can hold a beer while running through difficult terrain, look:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGzRfvgnS_sThe US has mentioned sending a few Abrams, but that may take plenty of time. They run on Jet Fuel and are difficult to maintain. Mud and all it is fine, I think they are planning a summer campaign. My crystal ball says Mariupol would be a great achievement if they get around 200 tanks plus supporting combined arms, but may be just too early.
Oh, you mean, serious about the approval... yes of course, you need to stop watching the official propaganda and have a look at some press headlines of "the enemy":
https://www.bbc.com/news/live/world-europe-64396659Oh, yes of course... it is a defeat for Europe if you say so, but ... Are these tanks going to fight Italy or France? Will they be killing Spanish or Greeks? I would say this is more like a clear indication that the RF diplomacy is pretty much at its lowest point ever. You cannot even convince one of your largest trading partners of not sending their best land weaponry against you. What a victory.
I have said it many times, the RF and Europe are not ever the winners of this war and the key to stop both losses is in your beloved Putin's hands.
Poland has donated weapons to Ukraine beyond measure for its size and has been critical to authorise the Leopard II. Your fake / theory is absolutely inconsistent with reality
