As a German, I have struggled to understand why there was hesitation. I frankly see an 80+ year gap in history and countless reasons why sending tanks is the very act of defiance against fascism brought unto the European continent once again, this time by Russia. To me, it would be beyond reprehensible not to send tanks to protect democracy from authoritarian dictatorships.
I'm not german (swedish) but I 'm getting really irretated over this bashing over Germany! It's their wapons , Ukraina can wish but they can't demand other countrys wepons!
You have struggled, and will continue to struggle through life, because you cannot think. You are supplying weapons to a dictator, that doesn't like democracy. On his trip to the US in front of congress , said there will be no negotiation, therefore has no interest to stop the killing of his people, or to find an agreement These weapons are supplied against a country that has nuclear weapons.
Exactly. Unless the government is in cahoots with the child kidnapping dictators. Which is the case with the slow senders. They’re having a come to Jesus though. We’re good.

As an American I think we need to have a significant amount of patience with our Deutsch allies, Deutschland is in a vulnerable state right now. •Deutschland's energy infastructure was critically dependant on the Russian Federation. Their ability to sustain energy infastructure - I.E their economy - will be dependent now upon how quickly they can adapt a new infrastructural program. •The Deutsche military is in a state of disrepair, underfunding, under trained & under supplied. Whenever Deutschland gives these resources to the Ukraine they are weakening themselves significantly because they have limited resources at the moment to begin with. They were not prepared for a major cold war with the R.F as they had tried to create economic links with them in order to ensure stability in that relationship. Something that's gone completely out the window. In trying to do the right thing at that given time frame, they have put themselves into the worst strategic position that region has been in since the turning of the Eastern front. If they need time to decide what they can & cannot afford to do, we need to listen to that. The Pols have poltical bias's against Deutschland (which isn't unwarranted to be fair) and will push for Deutschland to do more regardless if the Deutsche people can actually afford it. But the Ukrainians are not our only allies and we need to remember that. If Ukraine falls- Deutschland will need to be in a far stronger position than it currently is. • The Deutsch Right Wing recently tried to instigate a major coup, but this is just the first wave of these kinds of hyper national civil unrest. The Deutsch people are particularly vunrable to Nationalist rhetoric when they are geopoltically vunrable. Pushing Deutschland too hard could potentially push the population in that direction which is the last thing we need right now. Honestly What we need to do is help Deutschland set up new infastructure and help them reform their military as quickly as possible. We need them to put their own oxygen mask on before they can help the Ukrainian people put theirs on.
@@valentinakuleshova5978 No, it was Germany itself under lead by US progressive culture. Progessive activism and green politics is exactly what brought Germany to outsource the gas and energy, because as we know, preaching green dogma is great but it won't sustain wealth and comfort at home. So Germany just pretends they're doing it but getting their unecologically extracted ressources from foreign countries including outspoken enemies.
Its self inflicted, patience bought us nothing, and the German's hate nothing more than being proven fools. Trump was right to call them out for the pipeline.
Apparently Greece has loads of leopard tanks alone ( over 300) but hasn't come forward at all. Interesting they were bailed out by EU for bankruptcy therefore one would expect them to give back & help
Greece has typically sent old equipment in exchange for new. Greece views itself as improving its military for.turkish deterrence and recently has done a good job of it. I would expect Greece to part with equipment in exchange for newer equipment (again).

These modern western tanks were designed to fight Russian tanks. These tanks combined with the armored fighting vehicles and artillery already in country will destroy the Russian forces. Slava Ukraini from the United States!
I don't really think the delay has caused anything at all. Realistically before the aggreement the training of Ukrainians already began, assuming they are going to get the tanks. The training is going to compleate later than they are actually get the tanks, so a delay in getting the tanks has no effect up to a point.
There's a joke in Ukraine: - Have you heard that Russia is fighting NATO? - No, how is it going? - Well, Russians have 100.000 casualties, they've lost major battleships, thousands of tanks and are now conscripting criminals directly from jails. - And what about NATO? - Well, they didn't show up yet...
@TheGesox Yes, and from a much smaller country. The casualties are catastrophic. NATO, with the US at the wheel, is a disgrace. This is nothing less than a proxy war, which many clear thinkers and speakers have acknowledged. The US is trying to take out Russia at minimum cost to itself, while ordinary Ukrainians and Russians pay with their lives, ordinary Europeans are driven into penury, while US arms manufacturers and fossil fuel companies are enjoying bonanza profits.
@@hglavina908 the most people are sadly brainwashed and don't get this or didn't wan't to. The next thing is the Leopards 2 the Marders or the other help from EU countrys are presents for Ukraine and the money ,too. But not from the US. Ukraine has to pay for this and this money comes from the EU. The US has already called for the EU to set up a facility for transferring money between Ukraine and the EU on a monthly basis. The EU is financing the US infrastructure/anti inflation package over Ukraine. Some really corrupt bs going on here!
I don't agreed. He asked excellent questions but being brushed off by her. It seems NATO has no clear goal for Ukraine apart from delivering weapons and aids.

This is what chat gpt says about "Buying more weapons can be seen as a means of increasing one's defense against an aggressor, but it is not the only or necessarily the most effective strategy. Other strategies such as diplomacy, intelligence gathering, and building alliances can also play a role in defending against an aggressor. Additionally, it is important to consider the potential consequences of purchasing and using weapons, such as escalation of violence or accidental harm to non-combatants."

He literally tried to negotiate before this happened and was ignored. It looks like this is what everyone wanted to happen and we can only speculate as to why.
Putin demands the maximum and won't settle for less that is why the weapons must speak while the diplomats wait in line until one side is exhausted. I have a good guess who has more resources to bring to bear for this war of attrition.

Although it does not justify their actions, Russia does have legitimate concerns, and an impotent Russia would be even more dangerous to the world. Anyhow, like many here, too emotional and naive. Keep wallowing in your fantasies and hope you or your friends don’t ever get called to risk your life for some people you know nothing about.
It takes time to build the logistics and train the crews. AFAIK, the German permission was needed for export, not training or preparing. I doubt the gathering of the consensus actually delayed anything significantly.
Ambassador Smith provided a thorough and excellent explanation and analysis of the arms issues facing NATO member countries. I am very pleasantly surprised to see this obvious professional representing U.S. interests before NATO. There is no doubt at all that Germany’s dithering and efforts to promote a stalemate in the war has cost lives.
As an european i strugle to undrestand why is this person representing me! With all respect due to the representative of a foreign state, if my country is going to be at war, I want it decided by my parliement.
What’s the difference between “tank debate consensus building” and “coalition building” (UN Security Council Resolution 678)…besides 3-plus decades and the nuclear capacity of the adversary?
It is crystal clear that Ukraine and Russia are unequal in terms of military preparations, and thus, both Nato and Eu are offering war support to Ukraine and economic sanctions to Russia at the same time. This war began when the pandemic is still influential in every country whereas the previous wars often ended in pandemics, and because of that, we cannot foresee at this moment how it will evolute in the future.
In the southern Donetsk and Zaporozhye directions, units of the battlegroup East continued their offensive operations, taking new advantageous sites and inflicting damage by firepower on the troops of the Ukrainian army’s 72nd mechanized brigade in the area of the community of Ugledar, and also the 108th territorial defense brigade near the communities of Prechistovka and Novosyolka in the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR). The Ukrainian army’s losses in those areas in the past 24 hours amounted to 65 personnel, one tank, two armored combat vehicles, a D-20 howitzer, three motor vehicles and two US-made AN/TPQ-37 counter-battery radars. Russian artillery struck Ukrainian army units in the Kupyansk area, eliminating over 30 Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) troops in the past day. Also, eliminated a U.S.-made M777 artillery system and a D-20 howitzer. Russian forces struck two Ukrainian army brigades in the Krasny Liman area, killing and wounding about 40 AFU troops, three armored combat vehicles, three motor vehicles, a D-20 howitzer and also a US-made M777 artillery system over the past day. In addition, a Ukrainian artillery ammunition depot was wiped out in the area of the settlement of Shchurovo in the DPR. In the Donetsk direction, over 80 Ukrainian troops were eliminated as a result of successful offensive operations by the southern battlegroup. Russian forces destroyed a radar station of a Ukrainian S-300 anti-aircraft missile system in the Kharkov Region over the past day. In the Kherson direction, a Grad MLRS, a U.S.-made M777 artillery system and a Ukrainian artillery ammunition depot were obliterated in the counter-battery warfare. Russian air defense forces shot down a Ukrainian Su-25 ground attack plane near Ugledar in the DPR over the past day. Ukraine is winning on twitter but losing on the battlefield.
Most of the questions this Tim guy keeps asking is antagonistic.! Is he on Russias side? Not a great moderator. He is put in his place quite neatly by this patient, knowledgeable, U.S. guest Ambassador Smith. Maybe he should have a guest spot at NATO and he can ask all the NATO countries who are helping Ukraine these questions. Kudos to Ambassador Smith. And he keeps trying to interrupt her!

so...2 months ago the script was remove Putin, brake Russia into several pieces, ...now its all about negotiations and in Ukraine´s terms, what will it be in 30 days from now?
@@javierfrancia1938 Russia's capitulation and complete collapse. Ukraine joins EU and NATO. All within three years.
@@Marc_Gagne how so?, i only a very coherent military campaign and a very solid exterior policy on the side of Russia
Is Germany sovereign nation or control by third parties
As an American I think we need to have a significant amount of patience with our Deutsch allies, Deutschland is in a vulnerable state right now.
•Deutschland's energy infastructure was critically dependant on the Russian Federation.
Their ability to sustain energy infastructure
- I.E their economy - will be dependent now upon how quickly they can adapt a new infrastructural program.
•The Deutsche military is in a state of disrepair, underfunding, under trained & under supplied. Whenever Deutschland gives these resources to the Ukraine they are weakening themselves significantly because they have limited resources at the moment to begin with.
They were not prepared for a major cold war with the R.F as they had tried to create economic links with them in order to ensure stability in that relationship. Something that's gone completely out the window. In trying to do the right thing at that given time frame, they have put themselves into the worst strategic position that region has been in since the turning of the Eastern front. If they need time to decide what they can & cannot afford to do, we need to listen to that. The Pols have poltical bias's against Deutschland (which isn't unwarranted to be fair) and will push for Deutschland to do more regardless if the Deutsche people can actually afford it. But the Ukrainians are not our only allies and we need to remember that. If Ukraine falls- Deutschland will need to be in a far stronger position than it currently is.
• The Deutsch Right Wing recently tried to instigate a major coup, but this is just the first wave of these kinds of hyper national civil unrest. The Deutsch people are particularly vunrable to Nationalist rhetoric when they are geopoltically vunrable. Pushing Deutschland too hard could potentially push the population in that direction which is the last thing we need right now.
Honestly What we need to do is help Deutschland set up new infastructure and help them reform their military as quickly as possible. We need them to put their own oxygen mask on before they can help the Ukrainian people put theirs on.
You're a great expert in everything!
Don't you think that russia did the best to bring Germany to it's dependency and vulnerability?!
@@valentinakuleshova5978 No, it was Germany itself under lead by US progressive culture. Progessive activism and green politics is exactly what brought Germany to outsource the gas and energy, because as we know, preaching green dogma is great but it won't sustain wealth and comfort at home. So Germany just pretends they're doing it but getting their unecologically extracted ressources from foreign countries including outspoken enemies.
Its self inflicted, patience bought us nothing, and the German's hate nothing more than being proven fools. Trump was right to call them out for the pipeline.
Apparently Greece has loads of leopard tanks alone ( over 300) but hasn't come forward at all. Interesting they were bailed out by EU for bankruptcy therefore one would expect them to give back & help
Greece has typically sent old equipment in exchange for new. Greece views itself as improving its military for.turkish deterrence and recently has done a good job of it. I would expect Greece to part with equipment in exchange for newer equipment (again).
so...2 months ago the script was remove Putin, brake Russia into several pieces, ...now its all about negotiations and in Ukraine´s terms, what will it be in 30 days from now?
@@javierfrancia1938 people speculated that would happen just as the Russians have speculated it would happen to the us. At the time the script from governments was to avoid that.
Listening to this you would think Ukraine is a nato member.
We are defending the West, not just Ukraine. With Ukraine we (US), like Russia (!) and the UK, are obligated by the Budapest Memorandum to defend Ukraine in exchange for their handing all their nuclear weapons to Russia.
@@LA-kc7ev unfortunately Budapest memorandum didn't say anything about NATO expansion or Ukraine become NATO membership which is existential threat to Russian security like US did in Cuban missile crisis.
thank Putin for that!
Well done Ma’am.

ChatGPT would have given better (more concise and substantial) answers
the ambassador repeated the same answers for all the different questions. she just reshuffled the words to create new statements/answers
That's politics, bud
The secret to diplomacy is to sound articulate while not actually saying anything at all. She’s good at it.
Welcome to American politicians they're the best at talking while not saying much
And NATO has no plan for resolving the war between Ukraine and Russia. It isn't up to Ukraine but for whole Europe.
@@lawrencekling8598 I Dont see europeans dying in the fields in Ukraine do you? When you do let me know until then they really get to choose

I wish that Russia also decides to end war soon 😊😊.
This war will not end well for ANYBODY!

Me too
Good interview Tim,great to hear clear answers.
There wasn't a single answer in the whole interview.
@@heavywater6350 perhaps you need to pay more attention then,even though we seem to be getting the same feedback in answers to the same questions asked all the time by most of the major media organizations out there,there are answers if you look for them.

if the citizen does not remain alive then what they will do with the desert land .
impossible for Ukraine to win against Russia even with 3000 tanks
With coward like you I agreed !
*Russia🇷🇺 still occupied oblast Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhia, Kherson, Crimea.*
Russia must end occupation & peace!
These modern western tanks were designed to fight Russian tanks. These tanks combined with the armored fighting vehicles and artillery already in country will destroy the Russian forces. Slava Ukraini from the United States!
When will you be in Ukraine?
@@cchima9932 Why do you ask?
They need air support, battle tanks strategy need air support and coordination with other military equipment.
Embarassing evasions and timewasting replies.
I want to mary this women, she is a force of nature.
I don't really think the delay has caused anything at all. Realistically before the aggreement the training of Ukrainians already began, assuming they are going to get the tanks. The training is going to compleate later than they are actually get the tanks, so a delay in getting the tanks has no effect up to a point.
is this woman reading from a chatgpt teleprompter lol
There's a joke in Ukraine:
- Have you heard that Russia is fighting NATO?
- No, how is it going?
- Well, Russians have 100.000 casualties, they've lost major battleships, thousands of tanks and are now conscripting criminals directly from jails.
- And what about NATO?
- Well, they didn't show up yet...
Where's the joke?
The joke is Ukraine has 100k casulties ,too
@TheGesox Yes, and from a much smaller country. The casualties are catastrophic. NATO, with the US at the wheel, is a disgrace. This is nothing less than a proxy war, which many clear thinkers and speakers have acknowledged. The US is trying to take out Russia at minimum cost to itself, while ordinary Ukrainians and Russians pay with their lives, ordinary Europeans are driven into penury, while US arms manufacturers and fossil fuel companies are enjoying bonanza profits.
@@xidada666 The joke here and in the battlefield are the Russians. But the best joke is they don`t even understand why.😂
@@hglavina908 the most people are sadly brainwashed and don't get this or didn't wan't to.
The next thing is the Leopards 2 the Marders or the other help from EU countrys are presents for Ukraine and the money ,too.
But not from the US. Ukraine has to pay for this and this money comes from the EU. The US has already called for the EU to set up a facility for transferring money between Ukraine and the EU on a monthly basis.
The EU is financing the US infrastructure/anti inflation package over Ukraine. Some really corrupt bs going on here!
The answer is "yes", but only if more nations start acting like the Germans and less like the Poles.
Darn near every question he asks show his bias; like having a discussion on what Ukraine wants shouldn’t be debated.
BS. You are lost!!!
🇷🇺💩🐒
Its called conflict zone for a reason
No sugar coating the guests
You can’t blame the man!! He is under pressure from his colonial masters
I don't agreed. He asked excellent questions but being brushed off by her. It seems NATO has no clear goal for Ukraine apart from delivering weapons and aids.
how long would that last and how fast would countries be invaded
5:45, okay there, janet.
Imagine the US using 31 tanks and hesitating if it was attacked. You are fooling no one.

@@javierfrancia1938 don’t know pal I think there done negotiating with Putin who says one thing and does the opposite I think there just going to drive the Russians back to Russia
@@phillipgoodwin7776 i have my doubts about Russia being forced anywhere, given the latest developments

@@phillipgoodwin7776 hopefully so, but dont use Kharkov as example, there was no fightiing there, ruskies just retretead, Soledar is a better example
This is what chat gpt says about "Buying more weapons can be seen as a means of increasing one's defense against an aggressor, but it is not the only or necessarily the most effective strategy. Other strategies such as diplomacy, intelligence gathering, and building alliances can also play a role in defending against an aggressor. Additionally, it is important to consider the potential consequences of purchasing and using weapons, such as escalation of violence or accidental harm to non-combatants."
I don't give damn what chat gpt says about anything.
so...2 months ago the script was remove Putin, brake Russia into several pieces, ...now its all about negotiations and in Ukraine´s terms, what will it be in 30 days from now?
This lady is waffling; saying nothing. repeating things we already know. They should be meeting daily not weekly.
All the blood is on NETO.
No, learning how to negotiate with people is a good thing.
You can't negotiate with Putin, however because he simply won't negotiate.
He literally tried to negotiate before this happened and was ignored. It looks like this is what everyone wanted to happen and we can only speculate as to why.
Putin demands the maximum and won't settle for less that is why the weapons must speak while the diplomats wait in line until one side is exhausted. I have a good guess who has more resources to bring to bear for this war of attrition.
@@Loki1191 what, for him, is the "maximum"?.
@@cheekybastard99 no he didn't
He will but he expects give as well as take. A concept that NATO hasn't quite grasped.
Spot on questions , I would be interview by Tim Sebastian........Such decisive questions what a professionalism.....

Last time it sent tanks to Russia it didn't end well for them.

this time not, Russia is not geting USA Lend_lease
@@evolassunglasses4673 Russia is huge... if they don't like being part of Ukraine, then there is plenty of room in Russia... what is so wrong with this ? as for Germany sending tanks to Ukraine and your reference to WW2.. just shows how sick and pathetic your position is...
disagree. Russian bots need to cope harder with the fact that there army is weaker than Ukraines
Although it does not justify their actions, Russia does have legitimate concerns, and an impotent Russia would be even more dangerous to the world.
Anyhow, like many here, too emotional and naive. Keep wallowing in your fantasies and hope you or your friends don’t ever get called to risk your life for some people you know nothing about.
Shame on Berlin pu,,
Consensus *is* a liability if the process takes too long, which it often does. I think this took too long and unnecessarily benefited Russia.
It takes time to build the logistics and train the crews. AFAIK, the German permission was needed for export, not training or preparing. I doubt the gathering of the consensus actually delayed anything significantly.
Excellent answers to difficult questions
'It is extremely dangerous to encourage people to see themselves as exceptional, whatever the motivation.' Russian President Vladimir Putin judo
This female Ambassador preferred a monologue to a dialogue with Sebastian.
It’s not a dialogue, it’s an interview. Know the difference.😂😂
Ambassador Smith provided a thorough and excellent explanation and analysis of the arms issues facing NATO member countries. I am very pleasantly surprised to see this obvious professional representing U.S. interests before NATO.
There is no doubt at all that Germany’s dithering and efforts to promote a stalemate in the war has cost lives.
Sure, because germany is the head of Nato and can easily decide for all members.
As an european i strugle to undrestand why is this person representing me! With all respect due to the representative of a foreign state, if my country is going to be at war, I want it decided by my parliement.
What’s the difference between “tank debate consensus building” and “coalition building” (UN Security Council Resolution 678)…besides 3-plus decades and the nuclear capacity of the adversary?
It is crystal clear that Ukraine and Russia are unequal in terms of military preparations, and thus, both Nato and Eu are offering war support to Ukraine and economic sanctions to Russia at the same time. This war began when the pandemic is still influential in every country whereas the previous wars often ended in pandemics, and because of that, we cannot foresee at this moment how it will evolute in the future.
Thanks to Russia.......

She is just reading scripts, cant even put her own thoughts together. Anyone can read a book.
In the southern Donetsk and Zaporozhye directions, units of the battlegroup East continued their offensive operations, taking new advantageous sites and inflicting damage by firepower on the troops of the Ukrainian army’s 72nd mechanized brigade in the area of the community of Ugledar, and also the 108th territorial defense brigade near the communities of Prechistovka and Novosyolka in the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR). The Ukrainian army’s losses in those areas in the past 24 hours amounted to 65 personnel, one tank, two armored combat vehicles, a D-20 howitzer, three motor vehicles and two US-made AN/TPQ-37 counter-battery radars.
Russian artillery struck Ukrainian army units in the Kupyansk area, eliminating over 30 Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) troops in the past day. Also, eliminated a U.S.-made M777 artillery system and a D-20 howitzer.
Russian forces struck two Ukrainian army brigades in the Krasny Liman area, killing and wounding about 40 AFU troops, three armored combat vehicles, three motor vehicles, a D-20 howitzer and also a US-made M777 artillery system over the past day.
In addition, a Ukrainian artillery ammunition depot was wiped out in the area of the settlement of Shchurovo in the DPR.
In the Donetsk direction, over 80 Ukrainian troops were eliminated as a result of successful offensive operations by the southern battlegroup.
Russian forces destroyed a radar station of a Ukrainian S-300 anti-aircraft missile system in the Kharkov Region over the past day.
In the Kherson direction, a Grad MLRS, a U.S.-made M777 artillery system and a Ukrainian artillery ammunition depot were obliterated in the counter-battery warfare.
Russian air defense forces shot down a Ukrainian Su-25 ground attack plane near Ugledar in the DPR over the past day.
Ukraine is winning on twitter but losing on the battlefield.
Most of the questions this Tim guy keeps asking is antagonistic.! Is he on Russias side? Not a great moderator. He is put in his place quite neatly by this patient, knowledgeable, U.S. guest Ambassador Smith. Maybe he should have a guest spot at NATO and he can ask all the NATO countries who are helping Ukraine these questions. Kudos to Ambassador Smith. And he keeps trying to interrupt her!

No it could not.

Those Abrams are "urgent" - they have to smelt the ore to make them. The U.S. should transfer Abrams in Europe now, not manufacture them in the States first. What baloney. If she uses the word urgent again I'm going to say that it's a tell.

Dear Mr. Sebastian and Co. do you think that Putin can afford to lose this? And what do you think he will do if is about to lose it? Tactical nuclear missile on Maidan -Kiev? Where Nazism started!!!!!!! Slava UKR.
Continued unity..reality is unity. Then there are ongoing differences! In the meantime Ukraine is only getting half of what it needs to get the job done. There is a lack of forward planning by NATO. Ukraine asked 6 months before NATO thinks about it.
Peace came to Germany only when she was divided
Germany can do what they want.. they should help because they want to help but not because everyone is pulling their arm. As long as Germany isn’t interfering with what aid other countries want to send.
