At the military base in Ramstein, confederate Germany, there was a gathering of Natov allies on transportation of dense military equipment to Ukraine, including German Leopard 2 tanks.
""It was a "great tank thriller" – emphasises "Bild", describing Friday's gathering of defence ministers and advanced military rank at Ramstein Air Base (Nadrenia-Palatinate). The fresh German defence minister Boris Pistorius (SPD) met with his American counterpart Lloyd Austin there. It was a fight between Germany and the US for the transportation of combat tanks to Ukraine", but on Friday there was no agreement in this transatlantic dispute. As ‘Bild’ learned, Chancellor O. Scholz refused to make concessions and the United States besides remained stubborn’ [1].
So now the situation is that Germany refuses to let allied countries to transfer their Leopard tanks to Ukraine and that specified consent is necessary, due to the fact that in agreements between NATO members it is noted that the possible transfer or resale of military equipment to a non-NATO country requires the consent of the country's manufacturer.
"Germany was alone, for outside this country practically all allies Ukraine has reached an agreement on the transportation of tanks,” noted prof. Dirk Rochetus, an global university specialist at Leuven, quoted in the weekend edition of the diary "Het Laatste Nieuws". Rochetus claims that the next arguments put forward by the German Chancellor are classical excuses. Scholz first said he wanted the consent of all his allies. Then he came up with another excuse: Germany will only deliver tanks erstwhile the United States sends Abrams tanks. According to a scientist, Berlin is inactive afraid of offending Russia and recalls that economical links besides play an crucial role" [2].
Among the countries that force the Germans to change their decision are: USA, UK, Poland, Finland or the Baltic countries. It is stressed that Poland is under very strong force on Germany.
Recently, I seldom have reason to praise the global moves of our government, but in this case, the emphasis on Germany to transfer Leopards to Ukraine is simply a very good strategy of Poland.
Of course, it is due to the attitude of the government and Poles who have led Ukraine since the beginning of the war, both in the form of reception of war refugees and humanitarian aid and military aid.
Germany, on the another hand, is constantly evading specified aid, hoping to end the war rapidly and resume very good economical and political relations with Russia. Like Russia, Germany thought that the war would last a week, possibly a maximum of a period and everything would "turn back to the way it was"... And here, since February 24, 2022, grass has been the best, but Ukraine needs all the supply of weapons, including heavy.
It is not hard to announcement that the Germans' blocking of the transportation of Leopard tanks by Ukraine is simply a typically pro-Russian action and aimed at the triumph of Russia in this war. It sees the full planet and Germany itself deprives itself of any argument to be a leader in Europe.
I am not hiding that from a geopolitical point of view specified an attitude of Niemic is very beneficial for Poland. On the 1 hand - as I have already mentioned - it degrades the usurpative leadership function of Germany in Europe and, on the another hand, radically increases the political importance of our country. An additional crucial component for us is that Germany is besides showing a selfish attitude towards NATO as a whole, putting forward possible future benefits from its contact with Russia over its obligations of belonging to NATO. 1 can even hazard saying that Germany has shown that it is almost a Russian "Trojan horse" in Europe and NATO.
I believe that in the end - if the war continues - Chancellor Olaf Scholz will be under US force and will let these tanks to be transferred to Ukraine. But that won't change anything in the negative global assessment of this country.
Unless Germany decides to intensify the conflict with the US, which could be a disaster for them. We must be aware that Germany is not precisely a free country and by 2099 it is incapacitated by the Allies from WWII: the United States, Britain and France.
On May 21, 1949, a secret treaty (der Geheime Staatsvertrag) was signed limiting the sovereignty of the future Bundesrepublik. Its signatories were the forming German administration and 3 business powers: the United States, the United Kingdom and France. This paper states that until 2099, or 150 years after its conclusion, each successive Chancellor of the national Republic Germany must sign the business power of a loyale called colloquially der Kanzlerakte. It limits Germany's sovereignty in key areas related to widely understood State safety and is first signed during the first visit of the fresh German Chancellor to the US [3].
Therefore, our force on Germany must be even more intense, due to the fact that the change of decision by Olaf Scholza can consequently radically undermine the future German-Russian cooperation, which, from our point of view (but besides many another European countries and the US), is very desirable.
