Germany thinks by disarming, it won’t be attacked. Maybe it will be proven right. On the other hand, if Poland has lots of Patriot missiles, what cities will Russia target with its intermediate-range missiles?
With respect to Germany, I would like the Congress to revisit providing defense to countries that don’t meet their NATO obligation. If Germany wants Patriot missiles, the price should be equal to its cumulative deficiency.
On Youtube, watch DW the german english language news much like NPR in flavor, and any of the english language news out of India. This gives a better feel for what is being said in Europe and Russia. Our news, all channels, just is so one sided, it isn’t funny. The international outlets let things slip that never get reported over here, like that the germans agreed to the leopards as long as we deliver abrams. Why won’t we send Abrams should be the question for Lloyd Austin?
