The krauts can do whatever their little goose-stepping hearts want. This isn't America's problem.

It appears they don’t remember how well that worked the last time they tried it.

Need a snappy-looking German officer to instruct the Ukrainians in the maintenance and operation of the tanks.

Hans Gudegast, where are you now?

Regards,

LOL, sending more archaic Russian garbage. Kinda smart though. Now it’s up to Ukraine to get rid of the hulks.

It’s time to return some of the German missiles to the original sender. I heard they do wonders for the high-speed trains.

Gas is flowing today from Russia. Putin’s bluff was called again by the Germans.

Maybe the Russians will roll out some vintage T-34 tanks to remind Germany what happened the last time German Tanks were in Ukraine.

I have been surprised by just how poorly their armor has preformed.

The reactive armor on their tanks is a bad joke for their crews. It doesn't seem to do anything but attract munitions. They might as well hang boxes of Lucky Charms on the tanks.

Of course, the pictures are of no help. Just stock shots.

The cited article (Zubu Brothers?) indicates they are ex-GDR BMPs. Not clear if they are BMP-1s or BMP-2s. So the Germans are giving the Ukrainians 56 vehicles that may be as much as 32 years old (or older). Swell.

Hopefully, the German long-term storage program for these vehicles was better than the Russian one was for theirs.

BTW, 56 BMPs is about 1 mechanized infantry battalion’s worth of vehicles.

The krauts can do whatever their little goose-stepping hearts want.

1. They're not "krauts." They're Germans.

2. They don't "goose-step." Those were the Nazis, who are long gone. Do you like it when someone equates all Americans with slaveowners?

3. The U.S. calls the shots for NATO, especially for Germany. If Germany is doing this, it's at the behest of the Neocons controlling Biden.
