20230219-We're Slouching Toward WW III. Are You Scared Yet?

In January the Americans and Germans committed to sending first line equipment to Ukraine; Abrams and Leopard 2 tanks.

These things are high tech pieces of equipment, and require serious training to operate. In other words, they aren't going to be crewed by 18 year old Ukrainian draftees with 6 or 8 weeks of basic training.

NATO first line equipment needs NATO first line troops.

Yes, the Germans are sending tanks (and presumably German crews) to fight a war against Russia, in territory Russia considers its own, during the winter.

Are you having flashbacks to 1943? And how did that end for the Germans?

The neocons $#1t bags in charge of American foreign affairs seem hellbent on getting into a land war with Russia. In the winter. While they're getting froggy with China at the same time.

Are you scared yet?
