how can you do that when the german defence minister, pistorius, says after ramstein, "we cannot say when a decision on sending the tanks will come and we cannot say what it will look like." well, i think it's an issue of german politics, of how they frame their decisions and when they make it. ourjob is to make them make those decisions sooner, as soon as it is possible. yes, of course, one can feel frustrated about the pace of this decision—making process. but on the other hand, as i said, i have enough indicators to conclude that this decision will be made and this issue will be resolved. i understand that sometimes in capitals, it takes time to make decisions. fine. while they are making decisions, we continue ourfight. and it's true, it's a sad truth,
