No Tanks? Zelensky Uses Davos Pulpit to Scold Western Allies for Lack of Heavy Battlefield Weaponry
Breitbart ^ | 01-19-2023 | Simon Kent

Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky used the pulpit provided by the World Economic Forum (WEF) gathering in Davos on Thursday to complain about not obtaining enough main battle tanks from some Western countries to help turn back Russian forces.

Speaking by video link at a breakfast with U.S. Sen. Chris Coons, Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte and former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, AP reports Zelensky offered a very public rebuke of countries like Germany, Poland and the U.S. that had not been quick enough to respond to his call for heavy battle tanks.

Zelensky bemoaned a broader “lack of specific weaponry” and said “motivation and morale” is not enough to defeat Vladimir Putin’s imperialist ambitions, even as the Russian leader has mocked Western tanks as nothing but battlefield fodder for his forces.

Its Germany. Sholtz won't allow other countries, like Poland to send their Leopards to Ukraine.

He knows the billions he’s been able to demand on an ongoing fashion from the world ended the day the Republicans took control of the purse strings.

They made a big deal of how many captured tanks they had and could field a thousand if needed. A few modern would get taken out by the older stuff too,

Sure, anyone can hop in an Abrams or Leopard 2, drive it around the battlefield and shoot people with no crew training, no logistics/fuel/maintenance support structure, and no recovery vehicles.

Why can’t he just call up Joe or Hunter? Surely they could afford to help.

Last I read Russia had no more soldiers, missiles, or tanks. Zelensky single handedly captured half the Russian armor and has fully encircled Moscow. Not sure why he is so upset.

With all the intact and damaged Russian tanks they have said to have captured, they should have more armor than anyone.

People with thinking skills, (unlike the clown we have in office), understand that when you send your best military equipment to the most corrupt nation on the planet, (next to ours), it ends up very quickly becoming public knowledge, shared with your mortal enemies and then widely available.

Here on FR, blind faith is all that's needed to defeat Putin and Russians.

General Armageddon ( Surovikin) reportedly said the UK should just send Russia two Challenger tanks and skip the logistics of shipping them to Poland and Ukraine, since they will end up in Russia anyway.

Sense of humor he has…who knew?

No he was not fired and the air and missile forces under his command are BTFO of the Ukrainians on the eastern front.

Two observations regarding this ghastly, ghoulish WEF group.

1) All these nuts want Ukraine to “win”.

It won’t.

2) Dystopia Pandemic covid hysteria must continue.

The lies are unravelling fast.

Its older versions of the Leopard tank, many of them are currently in storage. Poland for instance is replacing the Leopard tanks it owns, with South Korean tanks(Black Panther K2 model) and new US Abrams tanks.
