Until Saturday, Germany had a longstanding practice of blocking lethal weapons from being sent to conflict zones.

Germany on Saturday reversed a historic policy of never sending weapons to conflict zones, saying the Russian invasion of Ukraine was an epochal moment that imperiled the entire post-World War II order across Europe.

The decision was an abrupt change in course, coming after Berlin clung to its initial position for weeks despite the rising Russian menace and pressure from EU and NATO allies.

On Saturday, Berlin finally bowed to that pressure, and to the reality that Russia is encircling Ukrainian cities and threatening to topple the government in Kyiv.

I recall German soldiers were training with wooden rifles because of military budget cuts. I wonder what they will be sending to Ukraine...

Nordstream1 is still pumping Gas in and Euros out.

Also, Versace and Gucci don't want the luxury good export ban, Russian Oligarchs and Mafiosos are a huge clientele, may make them unprofitable.
