Overcoming initial hesitancy to supply them with heavy armor, the Ukrainian government confirms that around a dozen Western nations have pledged to send 321 modern battle tanks made in Germany, Britain and the United States, CNN reports.
Germany’s Leopard II, Britain’s Challenger II and the American M1A1 Abrams tanks will come from the supplies of those nations as well as through client nations who have previously obtained the weapons systems.
The fact that Ukraine is getting the Western armor seems to really piss off North Korea’s Kim Jong Un, for some unknown reason. The petulant stepchild of world leaders, heartbroken that his bestie is losing influence in the West, had his sister read a statement saying the US has a “sinister intention to realize its hegemonic aim by further expanding the proxy war for destroying Russia.” Maybe he’s just hungry.
