    That would be a welcome change of direction for them.

      What do you suppose would be their reasoning for announcing 14 but delivering 140?

        Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

          Looks like the majority of those (88) would be the older Leopard I tanks (supplanted in 1979 by the Leopard 2). If the comments in the articles I'm reading can be believed, even those are a big upgrade over Russian tank technology.

          • Wouldn't this also open the door for other NATO members to send some of their Leopards to Ukraine? It seems that the Germans have been preventing that from happening as well.

            Remember even 6 months ago when this would have been unacceptably escalative? My how things have changed.

            Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

            • Hopefully getting the tanks they need along with the other support we continue to give them, Ukraine will be victorious.

              What do you think the end game will be here? If Ukraine successfully pushes Russia completely out of its boarders, including Crimea, what will happen to Putin? And to Russia as a country?

                  The Economist has some ideas. But I've seen these warnings before, so I don't know how much of this to expect will really happen.

                  Russia risks becoming ungovernable and descending into chaos

                  Mr Putin cannot win, but he cannot afford to end the conflict either. He may hope that by making so many people collude in his war, and subjecting them to more of his poisonous, fascist propaganda, he will be able to drag things out. Whether he succeeds, or whether the flow of body bags, coupled with the discontent of the elite, results in his downfall, will determine how many more people will die and how far Russia falls.

                  As Alexei Navalny, Russia’s jailed opposition leader, said in one of his court hearings: “We have not been able to prevent the catastrophe and we are no longer sliding, but flying into it. The only question will be how hard Russia will hit that bottom and whether it will fall apart.” The coming year will give some indication of an answer to that grim question.

                    Not pissing off Russia, I guess? I dunno. The same reason they are only delivering 14 instead of 140.

                          The planes, trains, and servicemen are after the nuclear weapons start flying.

                            Those are the kinds of threats that come from a man who made a colossal mistake and is losing badly.

                                We should allow people who make such threats to invade and murder their neighbors, right? Is this how this works?
