  1. Let's not forget that in 2013, Germany had NO problem with sending Leopards to Indonesia, so let's just not start with the lie that they're shying away from wars. Scholz is one of Putin's People, treat him accordingly.

  2. I think he knows what he's doing. Either he's waiting for this to blow over so he can hook back up to that sweet Gazprom money, or he's an active collaborator who admires or is being blackmailed by Putin. Either way, we need to sidestep the quisling in Berlin and his stalling tactics on behalf of his master in Moscow.

  3. Right now, Russia is probably the biggest exporter of tanks to Ukraine. 😀

  4.  @kirgan1000  Do you know better? It's quite possible, Scholz was very cozy with the USSR in his youth.

  5. Key word: "US"

  6. Gazprom.

  7. The risks are that certain German politicians will lose the easy money from Russian gas.

  8. The reason is simple. Gazprom.

  9. As they should. The message has gone out that against the biggest threat to Europe, German weapons and politicians cannot be relied upon. Cut those contracts, make the defence industry put pressure on the Quisling.

  10. Unpiloted tanks sitting in warehouses are very hard things to count. Very elusive and shy. You can't expect to just snap your fingers and have the military quartermasters give you a tally of them within hours at most OH WAIT OF COURSE YOU CAN.

  11. Not for much longer, it won't be. Germany has just shouted out to the world "Hey everyone! You can't count on us when you need our weapons!", and the world will react accordingly. Bad time to be a weapons manufacturer in Germany.

  12. Russia has a powerful anti-tank weapon, they call it the "Scholz".

  13. Scholz has had ELEVEN months to be ready, and filled that time with delays, foot-dragging, stalling and appeasement of the genocidal madman to the East. Not to mention, he's still blocking other countries from sending their own tanks.

  14. Air defence systems and rampant inaccuracy. Next question?

  15. And while we're waiting, Ukranians are being murdered, raped, tortured and kidnapped by the orc horde. More every day. Patience has run dry.

  16. The most powerful anti-tank weapon ever deployed!

  17. No, he knows what he's doing. He's either waiting for this to blow over so he can resume sucking on the Gazprom teat, or he's a useful idiot who's in Putin's pocket.

  18. Yeah, the stance on Ukraine has been the embodiment of "Even a stopped clock is right twice a day."

  19. Even from the most selfish "Germany first" point of view, this is still destructive to Germany. They have told the world that they are unreliable when it comes to allowing their weapons to be used. Neighbouring countries are likely to be reluctant to buy weapons from the Germans ever again--if they're denying permission for them to be used against an existential threat to all Europe, then what else might permission be denied for?

  20.  @Luvulong  Extremists love "all politicians are the same" rhetoric. Makes it easier for their small but passionate base to exercise more power.

  21.  @damianm-nordhorn116  Because then he'd come up with a new excuse.

  22. And why exactly did they not have this audit ready MONTHS AGO?!? More stalling and foot-dragging from the useful idiot.

  23.  elenarus6382  That someone was Putin. Look up "Cambridge Analytica" for a breakdown of the massive Russian disinformation operation, something they'd later use again in the US elections.

  24.  @kazekamiha  As Churchill put it when the USSR was invaded: "If Hitler invaded hell, I would give the devil a favourable reference."
