Why Olaf Scholz is so difficult in the debate about Leopard main battle tanks

Is Olaf Scholz a leader or a follower on the question of battle tanks and other rearmament for Ukraine? Anyone who speaks to the Chancellor these days will notice that he doesn’t make it easy for himself. And neither do we.
