The Germans are frustrating.
So cautious and slow moving.
It's crystal clear that Putin will not stop until he destroys Ua or is comprehensively defeated militarily.
Sanctions are effective but China and India will continue to underwrite Putin.
History has shown that Russia will endure enormous casualties to win.
Ua are suffering huge losses due to inadequate supplies. Yet the Germans continue to procrastinate. It will take months to train Ua personnel to operate Leopard Tanks and serious logistics and gearing up to supply and maintain heavy tanks.
Valuable time and lives are being lost because of Germany. Remember Germany signed up for Nordstream 2 - one year after the invasion of Crimea.
I think it's reached a point where the West must either commit fully or tell Ua that they are effectively on their own and need to secure some sort of 'peace' deal.
There is a major conference in Ramstein on Friday and it's up to US to take a leading role and either go forward fully or tell Ua that the support is not coming.
The Germans by refusing to say Yes are effectively saying No and are costing 1000's of lives of Ua soldiers and civilians.
It's time to call the Germans out, once and for all. If the commitment doesn't occur now then it'll be too late.
