Germany made a decision to station troops in Latvia for security reasons, anticipating Russian aggression in EU countries.
My guess is that if for any reason Ruzzia makes a breakthrough, and that is in my view not likely now that US has resumed shipments, Germany will probably find an argument to take part of Ukraine under protection. Poland likely too.
In addition, Germany has placed its largest order ever of tanks.

Germany Launches Wartime Overhaul—Orders 600 Leopard Tanks and 1,000 Boxer APCs
It is not a lot of tanks, given what a high-intensity war takes, but it may be a good deterrent if they also include combined weapons.
Russia's industry is unable to compensate for the loss of tanks, and does not produce new, more advanced ones. Russia's defeat is inevitable.
Doubt about Germany, but I'm sure Poland, Hungary. Romania, and Moldova would love nothing more than to take parts of Ukraine under their complete protection.
Right, inevitable you say, now if you pinpoint the timing (so far we have between now and end of times) and define a what a defeat and a victory for Russia is, and then maybe there will be some substance in this post.
There is nothing short of a victory for Ruzzia. It is just not going to happen and it can be either because a peace that considers Ukrainian interests is achieved (so Ruzzia cannot claim a victory), Ruzzia can no longer sustain a meaningful conflict (frozen conflict) or if Ruzzia advances too much, Europe will put troops on the ground and defend Ukraine.
You do not want an independent Ukraine, so you should not care much about anyone taking part, right?
For now, just keep banging Ruzzias head against the wall. The more, the happier the US is.
Europe will start a war with Russia over Ukraine lol is that what's currently on the menu in Ukraine?
As Iran bombing showed, whatever happens we already know that both sides will claim victory. Even if Ukrainian government totally collapses, it'll still be sold as a victory because west prevented Russia from taking over Poland Germany or Mars.
Ukraine can only be as independent as Cuba can be. It's funny to talk about independence when the "wet" currently pays for Zelenskiy's salary, Ukrainian army, teachers, pensioner etc... In fact, can you think of a more non independent country in the world? Belarus comes up, but I'm pretty sure even they have more financial independence than current Ukraine.
Isn't it hilarious how US first gave out cookies to start this whole thing, said [ur=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/f-the-eu-bugged-us-diplomat-makes-her-position-clear-9113380.htmll]Fuck the EU[/url], and now forces EU to pay for this war and then also puts tariffs on EU. Do you think Trump is trying to bring ultra rights to power in Europe on purpose or is he just an idiot?
