You are too emotional her, I guess. Couch potato in war topics?
Sending heavy tanks means building up a huge supply and maintenance structure in Ukraine. Even in Germany many of the Leopards are not working for maintenance reasons.
Simple solutions are not always solutions.
"The leader of Europe" my ass >

The Germans were effectively neutered in '45.  Partially by being occupied by the Soviets and the Western Allies, but mostly by having a lot of young men lying dead between Berlin and Moscow.  
Modern Germany couldn't lead a Girl Scout Troop across a playground.  They're a has-been power like Spain and the Netherlands, whose primary national defense is the United States.  What Germany says carries the weight of a pillow. >

Germany had 4,500 tanks in 1990, with heavy tanks about 2,000. Today there are 220 heavy tanks, half of them defunct. What do you suggest? >

Invest in defense.
The best time to build a modern army was 20 years ago, the second best time is today. >

100 billion Euros are there now, in addition to the 50 billion per year for defense. US companies are jus to raising their export prices.
Ordered Chinooks: 3 billion Dollars, suddenly now 6 billion. How come? 😉 >

Ah, of course it's the US' fault! >

Not fault. US companies are as greedy as always. That is their business model.
And Americans are very touchy to critics. 😉 >

Not as touchy as Germans being asked to meet their NATO spending requirements 😉 >

Only if Germany matches the US commitment 1:1 >

The US has 3.5k M1's in long term storage.
Germany can barely keep its own military funded and running and says it won't be able to meet NATO GDP requirements set in 2014 until 2031.
They're bitches who expect everyone else to pony up but won't do it themselves. >

This isn't about stockpiles or military readiness, it's about political will. Germany is merely being asked to approve Leopard export from allied nations as well as supply a symbolic number of them. In practical terms this is extremely easy to make happen, the only barrier to doing so is cowardice and indecision from German policy makers.
