Germany might show determination to undo its appalling fascist behavior in the last century by now taking on fascist Russia. Also remember Merkel closed nuclear energy plants and made reliance on Russian oil and gas its road to craven behavior you so well describe Diane. Also Canada under Trudeau is no shining example.

6 stars out of 5. - this article tops all of your other excellent views. I hope the entirety of your article circles the world & wakes everyone up. Germany who can no longer hide its 'act of stupidity' from world leaders. Sholf (sp?) MUST be put on the hot seat and 'pick a side' NOW!

It looks like there is a crack in the floodgates. The Germans have given the nod to Poland to Release the Leopards. The Leopards will have to do since the state of art Abrams tanks requires an army that has provisions for distributing the special jet fuel the Abrams needs for its awesome power and speed (60 mph in emergencies). https://www.topspeed.com/cars/zzz-others/2015-m1a2-abrams/

This report would indicate that its moved up from the "hint" stage. "German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said on Jan. 22 that Berlin will not oppose Poland's decision to supply German-made Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine"

Canada is a laggard and shouldn't be in the G7 in my opinion. Now it appears our Leopard tanks have sat in garages for years and are inoperable

Oh you are so right. Canada has plenty of 'nothing' militarily - starved since PM Paul Martin was in power. He castrated our ship building, air plane technology in Winnipeg etc. All our bright & brilliant engineers are now in USA.
