Germany made the smart play here in waiting and getting the US to announce they are send Abrams and taking the spotlight off of their country. Sometimes you have to protect your people first.

Only dropped it by allowing politicians to be influenced by russian money to switch from nuclear to gas thereby funneling money to russia to invade ukraine. Indirectly europe funded russia

God, I‘m so sick of everyone who says abandoning nuclear energy made Germany dependent on Russia. The vast majority of nuclear fuel used in nuclear power plants in Germany came from Russia, so even if Germany had continued using nuclear energy it wouldn’t have changed much in terms of independence - if anything it would be worse, as we have seen how fast Germany could get independent from russian gas even during a cold (-10C or lower temperatures at times) winter.
