...but they've cooked their goose thanks to their Russia-centric policies of the last 25 years. More on that later.

Yup. Russian influence penetrated into the Chancellor's office, and, after he left office, Schröder was influencing Germany policy, as a lobbyist for Russian companies.

if your plan is to ferry troops to Germany to fight Russia the war is already off to a bad start because it means Putin's already knocked over Poland

Some of us remember some of Tim's stories from when he was in mechanized infantry, in Germany. I remember the same data he was presented with, the massive numerical advantage the Warsaw Pact had in tanks, artillery, and men. Bottom line is the front line was always there to fight a delaying action, as they could not stop the Warsaw Pack cold, at the border. In one of those lectures, presenting the huge number of Warsaw Pact tanks, Tim observed he only had six rounds for his Carl Gustaf. His Sergent assured him, if he used them all, the Sergent would get more rounds for him.
