Lambrecht resigns and now the question is, who replaces her. When Scholz selected her, it had nothing to do with competence but political engineering. It had to be a female ( parity of sexes in the Kabinett ), someone on the left of the party to keep that fraction happy. Unfortunately expertise and interest in the military/defence wasn't considered. Let's hope to hell it is this time, but my opinion of Scholz is pretty low, so it's far from certain. One talent he does have is ducking/ignoring criticism.

Astonishingly the Bundeswehr has reduced its tank fleet by 90%; from around 4 000 to about 350 now.
