"The truth is that Germany, unlike France, doesn't have need for #MGCS: it could carry on without problem for the next thirty years, thanks to an afflux of orders for the Leopard 2 tank following on from the war in #Ukraine."

I shouldn't waste my time on it, but I can't help wondering - these NATO thinktankers like Heisenbourg have spent the last 4-5 years reporting on a monthly basis just how oh soo bad things are between France and Germany and that FCAS will fail any day now!

So, now they're starting on the tank-program too..?

Genuine question: Do you guys reckon Heisi and co actually believe they're own "information" - and somehow don't see that they're pumping out the same news every month and that it never proves to be true?


Naaaaah, right? He must realize he's effectively a propagandist surely?!?
