Well, the plan is on the roll. Germany has now caved in under the pressure and has officially decided to send Leopard-2 tanks to Ukraine, and to also allow other countries to do so. And the USA is sending M-1 Abrams tanks.

Amazing way to dissarm countries, i like that facet.
Speaking of the tanks, and this is yet again another example of this simpleton, unquestioned propaganda barrage. How many of us assume you can just FedEx a bunch of tanks to the front lines, Ukrainian tank crews are waiting ready to take it from there, and that's all there is to it? If you just get your news from msm this is about exactly what you think, but if you take some time and actually listen to people who know what they're talking with these things, those that have the direct hands on experience, a whole other world presents itself.
Brian Berletic of "The New Atlas" was trained on these tanks as a US marine, listening from 17:45-32:40 will lay out some serious problems with rushing these plans:

Unless, may it be tankers other that Ukrainians operating these things once they get there, similar to the Patriot Missile batteries which also require in depth training? The Poles, the US maybe? Trading out uniforms like actors in a Broadway play?

Chris Hedges is always an interesting listen, this one no exception. His descriptions of the final days of empires in general are coming into full view now, for those relative few with nonindoctrinated eyes to see it. Like desperate gamblers continually doubling down in trying to regain what has been lost.

Same with Gonzalo Lira. IMO this is an invaluable synopsis of the grand chessboard, Gonzalo covers the chronological events that have unfolded since the collapse of the Soviet Union which have us to today's all out war in Ukraine (and soon to be elsewhere as well in the wake of a collapsing empire). He's lived in Kharkiv since 2018 so has had a front row seat of unfolding events, and this is an hour very well spent of him putting all the pieces together.
A big picture sort of unbiased report. My highest recommendation:
The unexamined life is not worth living.
