If that’s what the NATO leadership wants that’s what the NATO leadership gets. I mean what changed Olaf Scholzs mind when he decided to give a billion euros to the Bundeswehr. Or more than a couple of moldy strela’s and now Germany is like the second biggest arms donor to Nazi militias in eastern Ukraine or something? I do not think it was any rational argument about how “arming nazis is a necessary evil actually” but the constant lambasting he was getting in the news cycle about being weak and hesitant while an enemy (maybe THE enemy) is invading an ally, that the German population was nodding along with.
Marinating the news cycle with your story is damn effective.
