He's right though
Don't send them through Switzerland >

Man, I just checked in horror who manufactures the missiles for their anti tank MILAN system. Not Switzerland, as far as wiki says, so that's good. >

Big shoutout to Greece for agreeing to wait on some of their promised Marders so Ukraine gets them first! Especially with Turkey (or Türkye) ramping up threats again. >


Turkey (or Türkye)

You can call it however you like, but in English it's just 'Turkey'. They only asked the UN to officially refer to them as 'Türkye', not the English-speaking world. >

yeah, was more of a joke. Obviously, as a german, I expect all of you to be able to pronounce "Nordrhein-Westpfahlen", "Rheinland-Pfalz" and "Baden-Württemberg" perfectly from now on :D >

Sometimes I really hate German.
I tried learning it a while back, did semi decently but could never understand some of the grammar rules. I went onto Norwegian and now Dutch (I jumped around a bit trying to find something I felt I could do). I finally settled for Dutch but I’m starting to realise that German isn’t the weird and broken language. English is.
German definitely still seems weird, but English is so much worse. >

German is quite logical once you got the hang of it - not many exceptions, but a lot of rules and a very broad vocabulary. Biggest problem for most of my german-learning friends is the pronounciation, like the "ch" and the "ts" - very hard consonants, hence we sound angry lol >

Off-topic but i guess Germany allows soldiers to grow beards? Because two of the dudes in this photo have really kickass beards. Isn’t that unusual or not allowed in the army in most places? >

from what i remember so long as their trimmed, unobtrusive and still allow them to wear the gas/etc masks with full seal german command allows it >

Tanks, but no Tanks. >

I'm becoming increasingly angry that my government has not stepped up to provide Canada's Leopards to Ukraine.  
Where even are they? If they are in Canada, which I think is the case, what use are they here? Deterring an invasion by the Americans?? It's absurd in these circumstances that those tanks are not either in Ukraine or part of a deterrent force in the Suwalki Gap. Aging in Canada makes them an utterly wasted investment. >

The problem with Canada sending them is shipping. Only your neighbor can do that realistically in good time. Your neighbor would also have to take over another portion of your territorial defenses. Not likely anyone WOULD attack canada, no one wants to fight your neighbor already. What Canada should do is just buy old stock m1's like poland did. They're more advanced than the leopard's canada actually has(they purchased some pretty old models of the leopard) and well.. sadly cheaper. Upgraded M1A1 and newly built M1A2's are ... surprisingly economical. Then they can just tie in transport and delivery of the leopards as the only country REALLY capable of transporting those 82 leopards in short order is the same person they should probably buy new tanks from. >


Your neighbor would also have to take over another portion of your territorial defenses. 

What exactly do you mean by this strange assertion? >

Canada has a small population, large territory, and most of it is ALREADY patrolled by the US. >

It would be delusional to believe "most" of Canada is patrolled by the U.S. Maybe for someone who spends their days in fantasy games the notion that a foreign power invests vast resources to "patrol" another country's territory makes sense, but in the real world not only would such "help" be unwelcome, it would be actively resisted.
Heck, Canada expends resources tracking U.S. submarines violating our territorial waters, just to maintain our sovereignty claims. The Americans keep doing it because they want to undermine those claims for commercial and political reasons. It's a kind of friendly antagonism that has existed for many decades.
But if you prefer a fanciful game, that's fine too. >


The Americans keep doing it because they want to undermine those claims for commercial and political reasons.

You're either extremely dumb or believe crazy conspiracy theories. The US hangs out in the northern areas because they're patrolling a place Canada can't. Via air and Sea they patrol, openly. It's not a secret like.. at all. The are spotted because they're ACTIVELY searching, not trying to hide. They're patrolling because Canada can't, you literally just don't have the equipment. Hate to break this to you, but Canada has very little population, and honestly is a fairly weak country in a military sense especially compared to land mass. They have no capability to patrol the territorial claims. >

I'm pretty confident I know more about what's happening in Canada's North, but I'm not going to get into a name-calling tiff with someone who only thinks they understand, because what, they are immersed in video games? or something. Transmission ended. >

You're weirdly obsessed with video games bruh.
