At the meeting yesterday the German defence minister said that there is no concensus amongst the 15 members, he denied it was Germany against everyone else.
Sholtz wants the US to send their tanks first to give him some cover, the US don't want to for various reasons. Mainly the M1 is too maintainance heavy for the ukr to deal with in a war and this demand by Germany is just a smokescreen, even if they did they'd find another excuse. Seems to be a case of, it's your decision own it, don't blame us.
