After weeks of pressure from international allies, Germany has announced it will send 14 German-made Leopard 2 battle tanks to Ukraine and allow other NATO countries to send more German tanks to help Kyiv in its fight against Russia. The announcement came after the United States agreed to also send a shipment of M1 Abrams tanks to Ukraine. For more, we speak with lawmaker Sevim Dağdelen, a member of the Left Party in the German parliament who says the majority of the German public wants more diplomatic efforts to end the conflict. “It concerns me a lot that many so-called progressives in the United States are supporting this line by the Biden administration to push Germany more and more into this proxy war,” says Dağdelen.
'' A dog finally realizes there is a leash round its neck ''
Dagdelen has always been staunchly anti-imperialist, like many in the Left party. It's a pity she stands with the cringy tailist wing of her org, and that many of these are obvious wreckers, and that the rest of the party are infantile dingdongs who are incapable of purging the wreckers, but internal bickering aside, Sevim Dagdelens stance on this is consistent with what she's said over the years. You may note when you read the interview that she's in Cuba rn, that's not because she enjoys classic cars and cigars so much.
