• Vladimir Putin visited Stalingrad to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Soviet victory over Nazi Germany.
• Putin’s purpose was to connect the past war to the present one, and to rouse Russian pride and warn his enemies of their coming doom.
• Putin’s actions are compared to those of Adolf Hitler in 1938, when he annexed Austria and the Sudetenland.
• Putin’s lies are compared to Hitler’s, and the article suggests that Putin is using propaganda as projection to immunize himself from having a more plausible charge flung at him.
• The article suggests that Germany’s decision to send tanks to Ukraine is part of their long reckoning with their crimes.

  • German and US governments have struck a deal to provide Leopard tanks to Ukraine
  • The Germans have been hesitant to take a leadership role in military affairs in the past, so this is a major shift in policy
  • The Abrams Tanks provided by the US are the pinnacle of armored equipment development, but require significant logistical support to operate, which is not available in Europe
  • Leopard tanks are already used in Europe and can be delivered much more quickly to the Ukraine
  • The Abrams will signal a vote of confidence from the US, but will take longer to be ready for battle

  • Today, Christine Lambrecht, a German social democratic politician with no experience in defense, has resigned as Defense Minister.
  • Lambrecht’s appointment was intentionally intended to lead the Defense Ministry into a state of functional oblivion.
  • The changing geopolitical environment in Europe, with the resurgence of Russian military activity, has rendered Lambrecht’s lack of experience in defense matters a liability.
  • Her resignation provides an opportunity for Germany to revisit its strategic policy, particularly in regards to sending Leopard tanks to Ukraine.
  • This movement is further supported by pressure from other NATO member countries, including Denmark and Poland.
  • German approval is needed in order for these tanks to be shipped to Ukraine, and is expected to come soon.
  • This could potentially lead to further conversations in Germany about strategic policy and their own contribution to the military effort.
