Send the ####ing tanks. The optics are WORSE if you don't send them compared to sending them.

Cowards.
For a long time, I had just assumed that Putin had Scholz in his pocket somehow but I hadn't considered the angle of the optics of having German tanks rolling into the Ukraine. It might also give Putin more ammo as all of Russia's military celebrations and holidays are centered against their great patriotic war against Germany.

That said, stopping the rest of the EU from contributing is pure cowardice and embarassing for the country that has tried for decades to be the de-facto leader of the EU
