Dear Don,

I am sorry to hear that you had a nasty fall. Best thing you can do is take a load off and get well. We'll all be here when you are 100% again.

In the meantime, Godspeed!

Best Regards,

As I just posted in the FB Patch Thread along comes this in the news a few minutes ago how timely as it refers to that particular Post concerning Hungry. Hungry is asserting that Ukraine's latest counter Drone strikes against Russia is "An attack on our sovereignty."

Being about 700 miles from the front lines, I think Mordovia, Romania, Baltic States and Finland have a lot more to worry about.

If I were Hungry, I'd be quiet and sitting on my hands if you wanted that German equipment. Why?

Because Germany has of this writing passed its largest Defense and Infrastructure Bill since WWII.

They just might decide to keep those LEOPARD 2A8HU tanks for themselves as it won't take much to upgrade them to German BUNDESWEHR Specs.

They do have about 4 or 5 other prospective customers for them as well.

This bill will be a GREAT help to the Ukraine...

"It is also an important moment for Ukraine. The defence plans approved today by the Bundestag also allow spending on aid for states "attacked in violation of international law" to be exempt from the debt brake."

Maybe they will get them to "battle test" the export version.

Germany is certainly holding all the cards while Hungry might only be holding a "pair".

Verification of passage of the bill...

Glad to see you are getting better Don, don't try to do too much at once,
slow and steady is the answer. I know, I had a heart attack 3 years ago.
