Scholz's sabotage on Leopard shipments is going to screw over the Ukrainians too and prevent German tank shipments this year. Rheinmetall is saying they will not be able to ramp up refurbishment of Leopard 1/2 tanks that they have in storage before the end of 2023. Its completely ridiculous.

Germany has the worlds worst history in loving the appearance doing good things and being "clean" but in reality they LOVE being in the filth and on the wrong side of history.
This is a strictly German and Germany level of thinking. After they literally decided to bully the EU into energy dealings with Russia, now they are putting up their hands as if they had nothing to do with this crisis. It's mind boggling and I hope the people in charge of these decisions are met with an afterlife that is fitting for their decisions.
Here is an interesting Vanity Fair article from 2011 and Germany's nasty role in the Euro Debt crisis from the early 2010's. Throw in the VW Diesel scandal and other issues, Germany loves the ****
