OPINION: Germany’s foot-dragging on Ukraine aid threatens to solidify its reputation as a country that benefits greatly from the current global order but won’t do much to defend it.

What’s the matter with Germany? Ukraine and many of Berlin’s European neighbours would like to know.fuels the perception it is a country that benefits from the current global order but won’t do much to defend it.

The annoyance is palpable in Kyiv, Warsaw and other eastern European capitals that worry less about provoking Putin than about defeating him. Former chancellor Angela Merkel has come under criticism for allowing Germany to become so dependent on Vladimir Putin’s energy exports.None of these critiques are groundless. Still, it’s a mistake to make Germany the villain in a geopolitical morality play.

There was a time when “the German problem” didn’t refer to a hesitant, quasi-pacifist country that spent too little on defence. It referred to a country that was the terror of Europe because it repeatedly sought to seize geopolitical primacy by force.

Pressure mounts on Germany over tanks for UkraineUkrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has appealed to Germany and its allies for a speedy decision on the highly mobile Leopard tanks. Germany is a very self-aware country, it does not follow the path of other western countries. It realizes that the war is not ended by gunfire, but by negotiation between the two sides. Time to start negotiating!! War monger

Germany ready to let Poland send tanks to UkraineUkraine has urged Germany for months to supply modern tanks - but Berlin has so far held back from sending them, or allowing other NATO countries to do so. Not true. No country has made a request yet. Check your facts. Strange, how countries can send military equipment assuming Ukraine soldiers know how to use them safely and adequately right away without months of training.
