BERLIN, February 8. /TASS/. Germany won’t participate in the competition to raise stakes when it comes to decision on providing weapons to Ukraine, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said in a speech at the Bundestag on Wednesday.

"What harms our unity is a public competition to outdo each other along the lines of: battle tanks, submarines, aircraft - who is asking for more?" he said. "What is harmful is flamboyant domestic political statements, criticism of partners and allies on the open stage. Germany won’t be part of that."

He floats this line after ponying up 178 Leopards. Another update on my March over/under of 5000 US subsidized tanks for this multi trillion dollar, generational quagmire we’ve been blundered into. The FR Military Industrial tools will celebrate.

“He floats this line after ponying up 178 Leopards.”

They’re the old versions - one ping with a Russian anti-tank missile and those will be ‘neutralized’ - Sholtz knows it.

If Putin gets his way half of Germany will become part of his empire... After all, his stated goal is to return to the good old days of the Soviet Union when Russia was (according to Vlad) great?

The good old days that Vlad pines for...
