Germany should refrain from sending leopard tanks to Ukraine

Since the beginning of the Russian Special Military Operation (SMO) in Ukraine, Europe’s self-proclaimed master the United States has forced all the EU member states to support sanctions on Russia. Germany, the largest trading partner of Russia in Europe, was left with two options; to sever all ties with Moscow or remain neutral. However, like the other EU members Germany was compelled to sever all economic ties with Russia by imposing sanctions on the most significant gas pipelines Nord Stream-I and Nord Stream II.

In his Munich conference Speech in 2007, Russian President Vladimir Putin warned Europe and its European allies to not cross Russia’s red line.

Russia blamed the United States for dictating European foreign and defense policies under the guise of international security (NATO). "We endured for a long time, tried to negotiate for a long time. As it turns out now, we were simply led by the nose, deceived... there was nothing left for us but to do what we are doing now." Putin added in his recent interview referring to the Ukraine neo-Nazi atrocities in the Donbas region against the Russian Speaking population.

Even in her recent interview with the German Newspaper, Former German Chancellor Angela Merkel admitted that the purpose of Minsk-I and Minsk-II was to buy time to arm Ukraine. Not even this Germany was aware of the American cum NATO’s plan to use Ukraine as a proxy ground to wage war against Russia. Russians since the Maidan episode knew about the American plan to destabilize Eastern Europe to squeeze Russia. In his Munich conference Speech in 2007, Russian President Vladimir Putin warned Europe and its European allies to not cross Russia’s red line. Unfortunately, that seems to fall on deaf ears and the situation the world is facing today in the form longest conflict at the heart of Europe since the end of World War II is the result of that.

In his well-celebrated masterpiece “The Foundation of Geopolitics” Russian philosopher, strategist, and political thinker openly speculates that in the post-cold war era, the most significant objective of the American deep state is to stop the formation of a geopolitical alliance between Russia and Germany. Since Russia is a major hydro-carbon power while Germany is a technological hub and hence, a geopolitical alliance between them might threaten the American interest in Europe.

To put in perspective, the ongoing conflict in Ukraine clearly demonstrates, how America remained successful in dismantling Russian-European relations for the decades to come. Recently, at the Davos, where all the corporatists and neo-liberal elites gathered to discuss the so-called future of the world. The agenda of Davos 2023 was “Cooperation in a Fragmented World," referring to the economic and political polarization on the global stage due to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. At the conference, all the neo-liberal leadership urged for more support to Ukraine to defeat Russia in the ongoing war.

It was after the Davos summit; news began circulating across the mainstream western media that Germany is planning to send Leopard Tanks to Ukraine. However, the news was not verified by the German regime but there is still a media fuss about the Leopard Tanks deliveries to Ukraine.

"The only message we need to send is that we will support Ukraine as long as needed, 1 year, 2 years, 5 years, 10 years, 15 years. We will support Ukraine as long as needed." Finnish Prime Minster Sana Marin added while addressing at Davos summit.

Even the wife of Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky was a special guest at the Davos summit 2023.

“I am meeting at the Davos forum because deep inside we believe there is no global problem that humanity and mankind would not be able to resolve,” Zelenska said at the summit in Davos, Switzerland.

Approx. every European neo-liberal politician who was attending the Davos 2023 urged for more financial and military support to Ukraine. It was after the Davos summit; news began circulating across the mainstream western media that Germany is planning to send Leopard Tanks to Ukraine. However, the news was not verified by the German regime but there is still a media fuss about the Leopard Tanks deliveries to Ukraine. Yesterday, Germany's defense minister indicated the country hasn't ruled out the possibility of sending battle tanks made in Germany to Ukraine. “His government hasn't made a decision yet” he added.

On the contrary, Russia condemned the military mobilization in Poland and Germany's indication to send tanks to Ukraine. Additionally, Poland is also planning to send tanks and other military equipment to Ukraine but waiting for Germany’s approval. The reluctance about arming Ukraine indicates a deep division within the NATO bloc-even Biden administration spokesperson mentioned in his yesterday’s briefing about this reluctance. If Poland and Germany decided to send tanks to Ukraine then it might open a direct confrontation between NATO and Russia in Ukraine. Germany and the U.S. knew about this!
