Reply to comment by akaasa001 in Berlin Won’t Allow Exports of German Tanks to Ukraine Unless U.S. Sends Its Own by Torifyme12

USA has 800 billion military budget, Germany has 50 billion. You want armaments race again?

There is no race, the US is superior by far in military, we all know that. My concern is more towards the attitude of Germany rather than comparing defense budgets. Realistically yes the US is able to send more aid, no one in here is failing to acknowledge that. But Germany can still send those tanks without the US sending more aid, that is imo a bit scummy.

EU countries are giving substantial financial, civilian and arms support already.

After tanks are delivered, the next debate will be: fighter jets, Long range artillery, war ships. That already started in Divos, too.

Let us be earnest: The only ones who can fulfill these needs are USA and China.
