Comments by "SaBa" (@saba1030) on "FM says Germany will let Poland send Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine | DW News" video.

@michaelkrzak5414 NO. They just brought a report from the EU27s Parliament and the talks there about sending modern western MBTs. The correspondent was saying, that mostly ALL countries were very reserved about sending tanks.

@ionnanskilliorus6877 My apologies 😉 Somehow you came across like a Brexiteer (I'm married to a Brit, btw), so I know what I'm talking about with a married on family in England. May I ask, why are you having a go on Germany most of the time? Have you ever been over here?

@ionnanskilliorus6877 Ok 👌 Just on the main news over here: apart from Poland all other countries are very reserved, like Turkiye (500 Leos), Greece (500 Leos), both countries don't want to deliver Leos, and even Finland now is just offering a "may be we could support with some training". There must be some concerns, where nobody wants to talk about in public. Poland recently (suddenly after shouting out the whole time) stated, that it "might" do the official request to German Gvt to give permission for passing on the Polish Leos. At the same time the Ukrainian Gvt/ ministry of defense is under pressure because of severe corruption, as various hundreds of millions of € (Ukraine financial support) disappeared. Zelensky stated, it will be sorted, but severe corruption was one of the main problems, why Ukraine wasn't allowed to apply for EU membership. Anyway, looks like, that we won't solve those problems. Today the German army startet to install various Patriot air defense systems (owed by German army) at the eastern Polish border, to defend towards Russia. It will be sortet, I'm optimistic about that .... Have a nice evening with greetings to NI from Germany 😉 Typo

@michaelkrzak5414 Ok 👌 Those Patriot air defense systems are owed by the German army same as Poland owes some Leopards. Germany is putting some up in Poland, some others (as far as I know), are already in Slowakia. Since January the NRFNato VJTF responce force with about 11.000 troops ( from which 8.000 are German troops) incl full equipment ( like about 40ish Leopard 2 A7V and other " stuff") are at the Baltics as well. The western EU/ Nato countries are aware of the situation, Germany has sent MARS II, PZH 2000, Gepard and COBRA systems, IRIS-T and other most modern "stuff". They just brought it on the news, Turkiye (500 Leos), Greece (500 Leos), both countries don't want to deliver Leos, even Finland now is stating, that it could offer "some training". May be there are some concerns going on, where nobody wants to talk about in public?! Understandable, as it's war. Also just on the news: Ukraine/ ministry of defense is under pressure because of severe corruption ( various hundreds of millions € of financial help for Ukraine disappeared), Zelensky stated it will be sortet ... :-(( The Baltics are highly protected by Nato, Germany is there since 2014 doing its NATO job with about 1.700 troops, from which two thirds are German plus another 2.000 troops are on stand by in case of urgent needed action. Germany is also doing the air policing at the Baltics as well as some German Fregates are "cruising" in the Baltic Sea to protect the Baltics from the sea side. I'm optimistic about that subject/ tank delivery .... it will get sortet. Have a nice evening with greetings to Poland from Germany 😉 Typo

@ionnanskilliorus6877 As I said already yesterday : "don't worry, it will get sortet". It wasn't "foot dragging", all Gvts were discussing it "behind closed doors", this is how it should be, as it's war. Greetings to NI from Germany 😉

@donwest5192 Poland stand for Poland, as there are elections coming up this year, as usual the German bashing starts to "boost" the PIS party keeping in power.

@michaelkrzak5414 You were posting, that ALL countries want to send tanks, that was the answer to it: EXACTLY NOT, instead ALL were very reserved about sending tanks. Have you ever thought about, that its not just one country's decision, none of us here has been at the official meetings personally, and normally, as it's war subjects like this are spoken about not at social media platforms. Everybody here seems to be an "expert" about International issues. Btw, in case you're Polish, the German army is just "installing" various Patriot air defense systems in Poland to defend the Polish border towards Russia.

@PanProper Soll ich jetzt auf Deutsch antworten oder was, a raczej po Polsku, drogi sąsiedzie 🤣 Ok, back to English. I answered to somebody, who stated that ALL EU countries agreed to send tanks, and that was simply not correct. And of course they talk about this subject at the EU Parliament, it bothers ALL of us, no??!! And yes, it is a NATO decision in the end. Btw, the German army is in Poland recently to install various Patriot air defense systems along your east border 🙂 Have a nice day, it will be sortet ... Pozdrowienia z Niemiec dla Polski

@ionnanskilliorus6877 Unfortunately I have to disagree. In several of the speeches he gave, Putin spoke of the fact that he was a very great admirer of Peter the Great and that Peter the Great waged twenty years of war in order to build up the Great Russian Empire. Putin wants "his" USSR back, which is why he has said several times that countries like Ukraine, Finland, Moldova, etc. have no right to exist. All of this has nothing to do with the economic policy (in which the USA was also involved, by the way) of the EU/Germany. Oh, if only it were that easy... Btw, that would also mean that Germany would be halved again (was not USSR, but belonged to the Eastern Bloc), not a really comforting thought either. No matter what happens with the tank deliveries, the problem actually lies in the fact that up to now all types of weapons have always been delivered at the same time as a group, no matter from which nato member country, and now Germany would be the "sole supplier", and the federal government is actually responsible for this fact Big worries. I'm sure there will be a solution. Greetings to NI from Germany 🙂

@Ghreinos Because it's always "nice" to do a bit of "German bashing " :-((

@ionnanskilliorus6877 Germany is/ was forwarding nat gas to the Ukraine, Poland, Austria, Tchechia and some other countries as well. Those countries had to fill up their nat gas buffers before winter first. Since September no Russian nat gas imports to the EU27 anymore apart from Hungary. Norway, Belgium and the Netherlands have taken over from Russia with delivering nat gas to the EU27. The Continental EU is interconnected with electricity, nat gas and oil supply. Those countries which don't have access to any sea side, get their energy delivered by Germany passing it on to them. This is, what its about the EU27. Just stop blaming Germany for everything, even without knowing the facts. Btw, in case, you're receiving electricity from France at the moment, it's partly from Germany, as Germany is doing the back up power for France since France had to shut down half of its nuclear power plants because of low water levels in the rivers due to the recent heat wave and urgently needed maintenance ( still ongoing. Just saying ...

@ionnanskilliorus6877 Ok, I quickly do a phonecall to our Chancelor LOL May be you should have a talk to your Gvt, as it's ruinning the UK/GB and its people ....

@michaelkrzak5414 😉 To be honest I don't know if Germany and the Germans want to be " the leader" of Europe. Strong words for German ears. I know, that Germany has a strong economy, therefor it's the worlds second largest donor for humanitarian aid etc., and yes, it might sound "weak", but the country has done a turn of 360 ° since this war has started, as since 1945 no German armery was sent directly into a war zone. You can't get out " your bones/ mind", what has been lived for decades (never again, no war starts from us again), yes, I know the Ukraine needs help !!, but we're learning 😉 All the best to you and slava Ukraine !!
