Of course, a #Leopard2 is a much more "offensive" and "delicate" weapon than eg. an old #PzH arty, and therefore requires to be embedded into battle group with dedicated infantry and support units, supply and repair chain, besides month long training for its crews, but we‘re about to reach the 12th month of war. And if #Germany would actually want to, #L2A battle groups could already be in the fields in #Ukraine by now – and the war could be over much sooner with less destruction and suffering.

"Germany doubles down on its position not to provide Ukraine with Leopard 2 tanks since it would make NATO a war party.“

I call bs. I do not believe Germanys reasoning. #NATO already said #Germany can and should send tanks, US gave its ok as well. The #PzH arty and #Gepard Germany sent are used in direct fire mode by #Ukraine already = tank. No problem there.
