Putin was always going to invade, if NATO hadn’t been in the region, it would’ve happened earlier

The US Abrahms MBT is a very complex system which has a gas turbine propulsion system.Said on the news (?) that the Germans won’t sanction supplying tanks untill the US do ???
Pussies ?
The T80 uses a gas turbine too I believe and they've captured some of those from Russia. The engine isn't enough to convince me that the Abrams is too complex, it feels like at least an oversimplification.
Ukraine use T 80s themselves with diesel engines, they will use captured ones until they stop, and probably replace the engine if possible, and why should the US supply the M1s first if the major countries in mainland Europe won't, think it's time they grew some balls.The T80 uses a gas turbine too I believe and they've captured some of those from Russia.

In related news, no nation with nuclear weapons has ever been invaded.
The US is giving at least 10 times more military support than Germany, how much more should they give than the directly threatened neighbour, no wonder many Americans question NATO, Europe can do a lot more to help itself.That's funny, some of the others say, if the most powerful country in the world, and dominant member of NATO won't....
Thats my point, they spend far less than the US and they and the rest of Europe expect the US to protect them, the countries at most risk are willing to supply Leopard 2 tanks, but Germany is saying you go first and we will follow you, what if the Americans had just turned their back on Ukraine, would Germany have just let russia do what they want, and give no military aid?The US has at least ten times more military resources than Germany.
It has more weapons than all the rest of the world put together.
It also has no history, and guilt, about invading Russia in the past.
Germany is saying you go first and we will follow you
So you come up with links with russia(again) that must be the reason were not supplying much to Ukraine, Germany on the other hand need US support to send tanks, pity they didn't heed American advice about gas pipelines.And America is saying the same.
Pootin is ecstatic.
I don't know how many millions were donated to the German cabinet by Russians. Do you? Was it as much as Johnson's mob got? Did they make a Russian a member of the House of Lords or equivalent? Despite warning from their Intelligence agency?
Thank you for raising that important point.
