I wonder when the German people will finally be able to be accepted as a part of the human race again?And, if you look at America leading up to and for almost 2 years of WW2, I am sure you will be surprised to know that more Americans were quite happy to leave Europe to it's fate and let the Nazis have at it, except for your president and a few people who saw that the war in Europe would become a world war. But the American people had to be dragged, kicking and screaming into a war that they would have had to fight eventually anyway. And becoming the world's police didn't exactly work out for you either, did it. Yes,the German GOVERNMENT of the Nazis were terrible people, but blaming all the people in Germany for being forced into a political ideal (at gun point)that the Allies of the First world war created with the treaty of Versailles and the reparations that would have been paid off by 1983.Thats right kids, your, and the Allied governments were more responsible for the Nazis gaining power than the Nazis themselves and the Great Depression of 29 only helped. And guess who was responsible for that. That's right, America. So before you cast your rock at the German people make sure your glass houses aren't in the way.

Having said that I do not know what the process was in the 1980s, which is part of the claims against Fuck Joe Biden. I heard that old Senate docs were in the collection, I don't know if that is true. Post 9/11 though, post Manning, post Snowden, post Panama papers, post Pandora papers... the best description of what we are experiencing is over-classification of documents. I had that problem when I created docs, it is not going to be solved by the people doing it, this is a legislative issue. You want your country's secrets to remain secret (from enemies) so any reference to any other thing has to factor in the secretiness of that while also allowing for your population to know stuff, and we do not have an Americans only news option where you present your National ID and you get to discuss more detailed info.

Germans are giving 14 Leopard 2 and also allowed other countries to give their Leopards as well, so other countries of Europe are going to give tanks and Ukraine might get around 100 tanks by counting the countries that already stated that they are willing to provide tanks

[@dennis141288]

Initially, more will follow. We don't have them laying about, to be gifted to other countries. Better late than never I suppose.

[@michaelccozens]

The real game-changer is the Leopard logistical network in the EU. Ukraine's running-out of ammo for their Soviet tanks, and, for obvious reasons, Putin's not big on selling them any more. The Leopard 2, on the other hand, makes up almost half the MBTs in Europe, and the EU, consequently, is drowning in ammo, spare parts, mechanical equipment, etc. to support them. The switch will both solidify Ukraine's move from the Russian orbit to the Western one and even further exacerbate the differences in logistical capability between Putin and Ukraine that are already seeing Ukraine push the fascist invader back step-by-step.

[@michaelccozens]

@@dennis141288 Kinda do, actually. A lot of the Leopards being sent immediately are the older models (eg. 2A4s), as the Leopard 2 is almost 40 years old. These are only suited to take-on mid-80s-level threats, but they will give Ukraine the chance to retrain, allow Ukraine to take their combat-ready Soviet tanks out of guard and reserve positions (eg. along the Belarussian border) and move them to the front-line, and help Ukraine begin to access the wealth of logistical support the EU has for the Leopard, which makes up almost half the MBTs in Europe. But you're right that more and more of the modern variants will also begin to flow as the switch continues, and those are, I think, going to be absolute hell for Putin. Russian materiel may still be actually near-peer on paper and possibly in reality, but their ability to use it properly is obviously nearly non-existent. NATO front-line MBTs in the hands of the well-trained, -supported, and -motivated NATO-style army of post-Putin Ukraine seem like they have an excellent chance of putting-on a real masterclass in modern warfare. In a way, this is yet another example of how Putin seems to be NATO's best agent. The data gathered here will be invaluable, and it comes right as NATO nations are looking to move to the next gen of MBTs (eg Abrams X in US, Leopard 3 or maybe the KF-51 Panther with its monstrous 130mm cannon in Germany, Challenger 3 in the UK, etc), which means that they've a lot of existing MBTs looking for a use other than expensive storage or the scrapyard.

As a former M1A1 Abrams Tanker (19K), If Ukraine is getting that many tanks from us then we must be THAT more vigilant in supporting them! This could turn the tide. That is a lot of armor. Russia is collapsing at home and abroad. And, as we used to say, "Tanks for your support."

Collapsing, yes. They're basically completely on the ropes. All they have is enough nuclear firepower to obliterate every sizeable city and town in Europe and North America and plunge the entire planet into a decades-long famine that, if we're lucky, will mean Human civilisation can, eventually, scrape its way back up to a new Iron Age.
