Diplomacy is a profession , an art maybe. Scholz is not mastering it and doesn't think about deterrence and deliberate/strategic ambiguity etc. Instead he makes absolutely clear Russia does not need to fear NATO troops and weapons in any context in Ukraine. True maybe, but why make Putin more secure and confident ?
Maybe he should agree a pact like in the Molotov-Ribbentrop days (being cynical here). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Policy_of_deliberate_ambiguity
