A tank company (14 tanks) means about 250 soldiers who will no longer have their main weapon system. It takes years to fill those gaps, and by then these soldiers have forgotten a lot because they haven't been able to practice. One has to remember that even if Ukraine is completely pushing Russia out of its territories, it does not mean that Russia is no longer a threat in the future.

No, they use these tanks because they are based in the I. German-Dutch Corps, which is subordinate to the 1. Panzer Division. The corps is an integral part of the German army

But they don't own them. Dutch soldiers are stationed in a German-Dutch corps. If the Netherlands would buy these, Germany would miss them in this corps

That most likely won't happen because I believe these are Leopard 2 A7s. Also, that would shrink Germany's tank arsenal even further, and this company (14 Tanks) that is now being sent is all that can be spared

Reply to comment by IvetRockbottom in Germany plans to destroy this village for a coal mine. Thousands are gathering to stop it by LaminatedDenim
I just responded to a comment addressing the deal, which strangely nobody mentions, adding that the media also portrays the whole event as if it were an entire village being demolished. I honestly don't know what you want from me

Yes, let's all simply ignore the fact that the deal is that RWE still gets this hamlet and that instead of 2038 coal mining will end in 2030 and no 7 other villages will be destroyed either

It must also be said that calling this cluster of houses a village is a bit of an exaggeration. It's a hamlet (Weiler) at most

The Ishtar Gate cannot be returned. This is far too much effort and would probably destroy it. A lot was already destroyed during dismantling and transport. In addition, the gate was not stolen because the Ottoman antiquities administration allowed it to be transported to Berlin

Reply to comment by SavageTiger435612 in German president urges Xi Jinping to convince Putin to end war in Ukraine by sviterochec
It makes sense, because China has a much better hold on Russia nowadays, and Xi is far more likely to convince Putin to do something than any Western leader

This storage you mean is by far the largest in Austria and actually only supplies Germany because it has no connection to the Austrian network at all
