Wishing Germany would stop quibbling and get those Marder tanks out of storage and retrofitted asap to send to Ukraine. Ok, sure they will take some time to refurb and train Ukrainians to use but all the more reason to get on with it.

Also think its high time the US and Poland worked a deal to get those warplanes over to Ukraine as well.

A few pages back (maybe 30 or so now) was a tweet about Poland also having lots of tanks in storage russian ones (like 1000 or so) in exchange the US would give up some of their Abraham M1As in storage to Poland at a later date. I thought they would have gone across already but US must still be negotiating what to do with them too.
