A little misleading. Germany isn’t delivering anything. The weapons are in NL but are German made… and Germany has a say in their distribution.
Germany isn’t going to do anything that will harm long term relations with the state they will need to buy 40-50% of their gas from. At least not for the next 10-20 years until they have an alternative. They cant just buy LNG from elsewhere, they dont even have a LNG port so far as I’m aware.
- nest0r 5y agoYou are scrambling together two different news.
- lhoff 5y agoNope, these are different weapons. The delivery was announced shortly after the approval of the dutch weapons you are talking about. This is the translation of the tweet from Bundeskanzler Scholz announcing the change of politics [1] "The Russian invasion marks a turning point. It is our duty to support Ukraine to the best of our ability in defending against #Putin's invading army. That is why we are supplying 1000 anti-tank weapons and 500 Stinger missiles to our friends in #Ukraine."
