The only place any NATO tank force could be used is in a suicidal push toward Crimea. If this happens, look for a large NATO force to enter from Romania Moldova and push toward Odessa. Why? Because that border region of Ukraine if furthest from Russia and Belarus. |

US was pushing Germany to provide tanks, Germany said only if you go first. Quoting: CharlieFoxtrot WASHINGTON—The Biden administration is leaning toward sending a significant number of Abrams M1 tanks to Ukraine and an announcement of the deliveries could come this week, U.S. officials said. The announcement would be part of a broader diplomatic understanding with Germany in which Berlin would agree to send a smaller number of its own Leopard 2 tanks and would also approve the delivery of more of the German-made tanks by Poland and other nations. [link to www.wsj.com (secure)] And, who is going to operate the tanks?? Maintain them?? Supply ammo?? Ukrainian troops can barely have enough strength left to run away from advancing Russian troops, let alone be burdened with tanks! Forget about this retarded US/NATO policy. It ain't gonna help a losing military change the direction of the war!! . ![]() |

You're correct on the tanks, but you're missing on the 'large NATO force' coming from Romania. There is no 'large' NATO force! If NATO had a large fighting force, they'd be in the war already! The war is over,but except for the victory parade down Kmelnitsky Boulevard in downtown Kiev! . . |

Any western tanks heading to Ukraine won't get there because the rail lines/bridges used for delivery will be blown up. |
