We're cruising right into World War III. Long before Putin is 'eliminated' or defeated in Ukraine, tactical nukes will be used.

Vladimir Putin has said the threat of a nuclear war was rising, but insisted Russia had not "gone mad" and would not use its nuclear weapons first."
....he asserted that Russia would "under no circumstances" use the weapons first, and would not threaten anyone with its nuclear arsenal.
"We have not gone mad, we are aware of what nuclear weapons are," he said, adding: "We aren't about to run around the world brandishing this weapon like a razor.
The “war” is all bullshit. A money laundering operation with a kinetic option.

I understand that Ukraine intends to use the tanks without removing the German markings!
Past motherfuckery of Switzerland from BIS American and European investors in Hitler in WWII resulted in German tanks and planes early on sporting the white Swiss cross of their sponsors. How NASCAR of them.

Berlin had decided to send Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine.

The value of tanks is dubious in today's battlefield. There isn't any machine-gun nest or tightly packed infantry for tanks to over-run. Tanks can be easily taken out from above by drones and from the sides by ATGM's (or even old fashioned RPG's against the treads). A dozen or two tanks are not going to be able to do much against dispersed infantry that have good to decent anti-tank weapons.
It's about inventory turnover and new inventory build.
I've never heard of a war a year long without any description of how the war is actually going. I know I bore you all with this, but I think it's a key thing.

Sure you have. Did you even realize we were at war with Afghanistan in 2012? There was no news on the subject. We are still in a state of war with Syria - did you know that?
None of the wars seem to be fought with the intentional of actually winning them. We aren't even given goals. We are bombing Yemen and Somalia right now - to what extent I do not know, but I know we are. Our media doesn't even bother to inform us which wars we are fighting anymore.
Ukraine is actually largely in the background, and although technically we are not in that war, I would bet we are with "advisors". People simply have no idea what is going on, and even if you make good attempts to understand it, it's ext...
Yep, on top of that most of mainstream media mostly focuses on what's happening inside the country. Outside politics gets a small mention at best. Hence why you can go days and days without any popular outlet reporting on Ukraine situation
The life expectancy of a tank in battle is less than ten minutes.
These tanks can't be repaired in Ukraine or even serviced. They will have to be shipped back to Poland or Slovakia to do all that.
Tanks for Ukraine will only prolong war, line pockets of arms dealers: Erdogan.
The Turkish leader also said his nation would continue talks with both Russia and Ukraine as part of efforts to find a path to peace.
The reason the military has such trouble getting recruits, is that people aren't actually that stupid. Who wants to join the military when we're going to WWIII?
Jab requirements are reducing the potential recruitment pool.
How healthy does cannon fodder need to be?
German news magazine Der Spiegel and others published stories on Tuesday evening saying that the government in Berlin had decided to send Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine.
This follows a long-running debate on the issue among NATO allies, and comes after Poland formally asked Berlin for permission to send some of its Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine earlier on Tuesday.
Spiegel magazine reported that the decision would involve sending at least one company of Leopard 2A6 tanks.
Spiegel attributed its information to government sources but did not identify them. Broadcaster ntv issued a similar report, and the dpa news agency later said its "coalition sources" had said the same. But the government did not immediately comment publicly on the reports.
German-made military equipment can only be sent to third countries with approval from Berlin. Spiegel reported that other European countries, including some in Scandinavia, would also supply their tanks to Kyiv.
Although Germany's Defense Ministry, military, and several other actors would surely have been involved in discussions, ultimately the authority to make this decision rests with Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
