Biden is seriously underestimated, still. He is not one bit less "American interest first" than Republican conservatives. And he seems to understand the described links between supporting Ukraine and preparing against China. The aid he agreed to give is little compared to the US defence budget, and obviously is aimed at maximising losses and costs on Russia - not necessarily aimed at enabling Ukraine to "win". If the Ukraine'S victory were the objective: this could already have been achieved by now. Obviously, the fate of Ukraine and the price it has to pay for the American policy of not giving enough to win and too much to die, pays surprisingly little role in America's Ukraine policy. So far its about extending the war to weaken Russia further. That is the objective. Ukraine itself has surprisingly little to do with that.

Germany should dismantle its Bundeswehr. Its not good for anythign. Hand over all Bundeswehr equipment - vehicles, weapons, ammo, EVERYTHING - to the Ukraine. we are surrounded by nations none of which we must fear wants to attack us any time soon. And we are not only unable but also unwilling to make any use of all that material stuff anyway, so... The Ukraine would deliver decisive blows to Russia with all that stuff. And Germany then could spend the next lets say 15 to 20 years with rebuilding its military from scratch, like after WW2. Making things better this way, and hopefull avoiding the mistakes of the last 30 years. What the BW is today is of use for nobody, and costs only money.

Okay, we'll keep the guard battalion that has to stand guard at diplomatic receptions - at least until it's relieved by the first uniformed operetta group of the feminist action front.
