→14/88
In January 2023, after pressure from the United States, Germany agreed to send 14 Leopard 2<ref>https://www.firstpost.com/world/germany-approves-delivery-of-14-leopard-2-tanks-to-ukraine-12047882.html</ref> and 88 Leopard 1<ref>https://www.politico.eu/article/germany-send-leopard-tanks-ukraine-russia-war-rheinmetall/</ref> tanks to Ukraine. [[14/88]], according to the [[Anti-Defamation League]] is the combination of two popular [[white supremacist]] numeric symbols. The first symbol is 14, which is shorthand for the 14 word slogan, "We must secure the existence of our people and the future for white children." The second is 88, which stands for "Heil Hitler," "H" being the eighth letter of the alphabet. Together the numbers form a general endorsement of white supremacy and its beliefs. As such, they are ubiquitous within the white supremacist movement as [[graffiti]], graphics, and [[tattoo]]s, even in screen names and email addresses, and now in the quantities of tanks Germany is sending to Ukraine.<ref>https://www.adl.org/resources/hate-symbol/1488</ref>

The Federal Republic of Germany, the successor regime of [[Nazi Germany]], is sending 14 and 88 of two different models of its Leopard tank to Ukraine. Ukraine's military, which includes a significant component of actual Nazis will use the tanks on the battlefield against Russia. Analysts noted that the NATO powers understand full well the significance of 1488, and Germany even has laws against open display of any sort of Nazi symbols. NATO could have added or subtracted one tank. For this reason, Russia is unlikely to negotiate with the current Western leadership or stop its special operation until its Denazification process is completed.<ref>https://youtu.be/lt0iLMoG7XU?t=1556</ref>
