Fits into historical similar contexts. Because even US had to import Russian Titanium to build the U2, the B2 and the F117 (the small "invisible" mofo "bombing" plane with fly-by-wire because its aerodynamics were too fucking unstable, you know?).

But the measly, tiny German Tank company still left can't even simulate to be a "barbed wire" for a Russian army, if Putin feels inclined to invade Europe. The only "defense" of Europe already is the nuclear option of France, the fucking Britons or US.

Germany squandered almost all its tanks to Egypt, Saudi-Arabia and these countries because the US-bobblehead-patrons said so. And German bobbleheads couldn't get their heads out of the US-bobblehead in command's anus for way too long. Like Putin predicted more or less in 2001 in the German Bundestag in his legendary speech in German language.

There are decisions to make that'll have a giant bifurcation in this decade as a consequence, i sense...

Not to say this isn't true, but I can't verify that titanium is required for German tank production.
