BERLIN — Germany will provide long-term military support and training to Ukraine "to fully restore" the country's territorial integrity under an agreement signed between the leaders of both nations on Friday.
The German Leotard II tanks that didn’t blow up real good on the Eastern Front in The Ukraine are now in Russia’s tank museum.
From page 5, "Germany will continue to provide long-term support to Ukraine’s overall energy sector with a special focus on green energy transition"
And, "The Participants will work to accelerate both short-term commitments and long-term economy-wide net zero goals" And, my favorite, "Germany will work with Ukraine to identify sources of funding for grant programmes"
Yup. The Scholz government will look around for "source of funding."
Further, page 6, "Germany will continue to support recovery and reconstruction with the aim of supporting the use of regenerative materials and renewable energy sources, applying safe and sustainable climate-neutral technologies and protecting the natural resources and the vulnerable environment of Ukraine."
And then, page 7, "Germany will persevere to support existing international and European frameworks and institutions in their endeavours to continue providing regular and predictable financial support to Ukraine."
So the Scholz-Habeck government will look around for other countries to pay and pay more for the Zelensky government.
When the Scholz-Habeck coalition fails, as it will, and as the Zelensky government withers, this pabulum will be piles of words of net-zero, climate-change, green and "find some grants from somewhere."
Saving the BEST for last, page 10, "This Agreement may be terminated by either Participant at any time."
Yup. "This Agreement may be terminated by either Participant at any time."
One could indeed "make a thread about German tanks and find a German to ask." But the "agreement" which can be terminated by either participant says quite a lot.
And, though in English, it's that "German" who says all of the above in writing.
