Biden administration is stuck in a standoff with Germany over whether to send tanks to Ukraine ahead of a key meeting of Western defense leaders in Germany on Friday.
In recent days, German officials have indicated they won't send their Leopard tanks to Ukraine, or allow any other country with the German-made tanks in their inventory to do so, unless the US also agrees to send its M1 Abrams tanks to Kyiv -- something the Pentagon has said for months it has no intention of doing given the logistical costs of maintaining them.
"They have us over a barrel," a senior Biden administration official said, adding that the Germans are demanding tanks for tanks, and not budging on considering any other offers the US has made to spur Berlin to send the Leopards.
Comment:
What Germany wants is the relationship in Europe, Peace after the war. While the US wants to continue the war and destruction using the Ukraine as a bate.
The Russia/Ukraine war caused massive problems in Europe and Africa with food shortage and unaffordable prices, this shouldn't continue.
Just a "Tank U" thought.
