Breaking News: The German government announced plans to deliver 14 of the country’s Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine and allow other countries to send theirs on Wednesday, ending months of debate among Western allies.

, though probably not until at least the fall, a senior U.S. official with knowledge of the situation said, speaking on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue. Washington is expected to send at least 30.

As manufacturer of the Leopard 2, one of the most widely used tanks in Europe, Germany held the key to the entire package the tanks being prepared for delivery to Ukraine because Berlin’s approval is required for reexport. Poland and a number of other European members of NATO had indicated they are prepared to send Leopard 2s. Finland, Greece, Poland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and Turkey all own at least 100 of them.

Poland formally requested German authorization for reexport, ramping up pressure on Berlin to come to a decision. Pentagon spokesperson said on Jan. 24 that the U.S. would support Ukraine's security requirements after President Biden decides to send M1 Abrams tanks.

I don't believe this is a good idea

Are they going to race them? Or stage more of the fake war?

Morning_Joe 👇👇

Russia Ukraine Addicted to violence and twisted semantics... After blatantly immorally grotesquely attacking an independent nation it claims that its victim daring to defend itself within its own borders with the help of friends... is a blatant provocation! Really?

I am not in favor of escalation and getting us closer to WW3 and nuclear war. I cannot believe any European countries are ready for their citizens to die

Democrats are slavers, kkkers, racists, criminals! Abolish the democrat party NOW! Reduce and cap all prices at 2019, Pre-Biden levels NOW!

A minha pergunta existencial é alguém realmente iniciou essa guerra? ou faz parte do plano de Deus para mudar todos os paradigmas que vivemos hoje? saindo um pouco da premissa que Deus é bom e bla bla bla.

Germany collapsed. Europe was a nice dream, now it's just a proxy.

I think supplying Ukraine with more arms is letting Russia strategize the more, There by prolonging the war.

Morning_Joe Oh boy 14 tanks a company’s worth really need about two divisions worth about 600 tanks and you might have something unbelievable either win the war, or quit putting money into it !!

We're basically going to be like 'This one sucks, this one's old, something's broke on this one, yeah send all the crap ones to Ukraine'! 😂😂

It is time for WW3

One thing I’ll say about the Germans. They make one hell of a tank.

Wars are profitable for the ruling class

World peace under Trump. Just saying. We haven’t been this close to world war since Kennedy. Buy military stock now

Morning_Joe It takes too long. Many Ukrainians would not be slaughtered by the aggressive demented Putin. I hope the Ukrainians will blow them all up.

Probably got more to do with Boris Johnson telling them once again to get their finger out. Dreadful response from the Germans again

Unbelievable.

Thank you for standing with Ukraine. Thank you for standing for freedom.

Morning_Joe MorningJoe JoeNBC and his myna-bird DonnyDeutsch, record-holder for most TV show cancellations.

A big step in the right direction and a victory for the international solidarity and persistence! Thank you!

Morning_Joe Fantastic! We're on the verge of WW III so globalists can try and protect their money laundering ATM, Ukraine.

The German reluctance to send these toys into Ukraine is due to the risk that they will prove totally WORTHLESS against Russian fire power

WW3 loading…

None of these working. Stop sending Arms. Bring Peace.

Morning_Joe MorningJoe JoeNBC's Elise 'Mississippi' Jordan Elise_Jordan, who was Sen Paul's foreign advisor and Bush aide, demonstrates daily the recalcitrant retrogressive Republican viewpoint the platform promotes.

Why couldn't they buy tanks with the 100 billion of our koney that's been sent?

Destructions de chars en Ukraine par des missiles Russes : 1) 2)

Que la secte davos, incluant les sourdnalistes, les pipoliticiens et les actionnaires des multinationales aillent faire la guerre à la Russie ! Nous devons nous débarrasser de cette mafia qui vise la 3ème guerre mondiale, maintenant ! Ils sont dangereux !

Inch close to justification for Russia to use tactical nuclear weapons.

🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆

Uniparty is going to send us to war

The Biden administration denies the truth: Ukraine lost. Over 200,000 Ukrainian soldiers die. Only 25 trillion people live in Ukraine today. To move the Russian army from Donbass you need at least 20 trillion dollars. stop lying wake up to the truth

Target practice.

not too late!

Booooooooooo

This is bad for climate change!

Once German tanks were the symbol of Hitler's cruelty, now they are accepted as major freedom fighters.

Thank you, Germany.

Nice job. Another leap that brings us closer to WWIII

Tanks are not defensive weapons. their transfer means the aggression of those countries who transferred. Russia will exchange drones from Iran and North Korea and give them ballistic missiles that can fly to the United States. And he will smoke on the sidelines.

🤮🤮🤮

Y’all acting like there was any doubt 🙄

So Germany will put you in prison if you talk positively about nazis but they will go ahead and send money and tanks to actual living breathing nazis.

Ahahahahahahahaha 🤣

globalists coming down on the one country who wont bend the knee to their forced depopulation agenda...

As we all know Germany was always on the right side of History /sarcasm
