Also keep history in mind. The last time Germans went to war against Russia , 25 million Russians died. It would be a very bad look if Germans are the first to send tanks to Ukraine that’ll kill Russian soldiers. Acting as part of a broad alliance is vital for Germany.
Happy spring offensive, assholes! >

I’m allowed to have an opinion on Ukraine defending itself against invasion, thank you very much. >

Imagine that... Germany and Poland having the same opinion and intention about where a large batch of tanks should go. >

Germany and tanks is like America and country music >

Germany and tanks is like America and country music....
Nobody does it better. >

I’d take an Abrams over a Leopard any day. >

I know nothing about tanks. That's just what I thought this comment was getting at. >

England is sending Def Leopard. >

And hopefully a couple Led Zeppelins for air support. >

“Never received the original tank request? No worries: we’d like to place a New Order, please.” >

"Russia calls it an 'extremely dangerous decision' "
Yeah, for Russia. >

That head on the thumbnail is terrifying. What is it? >

An Alp presumably, see "Nachtmahr" by Heinrich Fussli (1802) otherwise a crash-test dummy. >

Well, that’s an interesting answer. For anyone wondering, I think this is what’s being referred to. >

Thank you Germany,  it's about damn time. >

Germany always said that 
a)They won’t act alone
b)Other countries have to send requests in writing to the German government if they want to send their own german-bought Leopards to Ukraine 
Not even 24 hours after Poland sent that request, Germany had already approved it and confirmed that they’ll also send some of their own tanks >

Poland wasn’t the first country to offer to send tanks. Germany was also waiting on the US to send Abrams before they’d send or allow to be sent any Leopards >

Offering to send tanks and actually putting in the formal request with the German government are two different things
And my comment that Germany doesn’t wanna act alone refers to your second sentence >

I don't know anything about geo politics so I'm wondering why Germany wouldn't want to act alone? >

Fear of Russian retaliation. Cyber attacks, sabotage of critical infrastructure etc. If all western Allies act in unison, it’s harder for Russia to target them all simultaneously than if a single country acts alone. >

Ah OK that makes sense.
