The ACTUAL winners are the arms manufacturers. The ACTUAL losers are the ones who are actually fighting and dying. And then there is Putin who’s neither.
Seems the logical next step after Russians killing Ukrainians. Who knew the 30’s and 40’s would repeat? At least this time we shouldn’t expect millions to be murdered and starved by the Russians.
Tough guys taking other peoples belongings. Tough guys taking other peoples countries. It`s been going on for thousands of years. If the tough guy isn`t stopped, he will keep going.
Matthew 24:6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
Because goodness gracious and golly gee appeasement has always worked ever so gosh darned well with those nasty old dictators and fascists but no thank you Mr. Putin I do not care for any of your kind of tea
Putin will not stop until all of the NATO countrys’ armaments have been depleted. It is only January and the most sophisticated weapons are been doled out. China is biding its time. When NATO is weak, they will strike.
The Biden administration, convinced that Vladimir Putin has failed in his attempt to erase Ukraine, has begun planning for an eventual postwar military balance that will help Kyiv deter any repetition of Russia’s brutal invasion.
…
Russia’s colossal failure to achieve its military goals, Blinken believes, should now spur the United States and its allies to begin thinking about the shape of postwar Ukraine — and how to create a just and durable peace that upholds Ukraine’s territorial integrity and allows it to deter and, if necessary, defend against any future aggression. In other words, Russia should not be able to rest, regroup and reattack.
…Blinken’s refusal to criticize Germany on the issue of releasing Leopard tanks illustrates what has been more than a year of alliance management to keep the pro-Ukraine coalition from fracturing. Blinken has logged hundreds of hours — on the phone, in video meetings and in trips abroad — to keep this coalition intact.
This cohesiveness will become even more important as the Ukraine war moves toward an endgame. This year, Ukraine and its allies will keep fighting to expel Russian invaders. But as in the final years of World War II, planning has already begun for the postwar order — and construction of a system of military and political alliances that can restore and maintain the peace that Russia shattered.
Just like the good old days, should be able to get 10 good movies out of it. Make a lot of money too. Happy days are here again. Eisenhower was right beware of the weapons manufacturers.
Dumb. They may be German tanks, but it’s not Germany against Russia. It’s the West helping Ukraine defend itself against a murderous, marauding rapist.
Russia is clearly the aggressor…but the appearance of German tanks will be a huge propaganda win for Putin. Russians don’t have good memories about German tanks.
This is also a bit of an experiment to see if their tanks and tactics can use some improvement. A bit of the reason that Nazi Germany joined in the Spanis Civil War.

I don’t think NATO has a choice; either send tanks to Ukraine or let Russia have ALL of eastern Europe.

Don’t both-sides this. Russia is the aggressor this time. (As it would have been eventually in WWII if Germany hadn’t beaten them to it.)
