It's boom times for artillery manufacturers

Paper tiger. If they think this war will wait two years for them to industrialize they are different kinds of high. Even if they do, they have the biggest neo liberal government on earth, thrusting money into the industrial military complex only means big profits for Lockheed Martin and very little output, plus Russia, China, and the rest of the anti imperialist core already have the advantage when it comes to manufacturing so they will be lagged behind anyway.

Exactly, the elephant in the room is that if US is having trouble keeping up with Russia in terms of industrial production, they have no hope of matching China which absolutely dwarfs Russia industrially.

For Ukraine

If you buy this, you will be loudly weeping and gnashing your teeth several years down the line when you see where those weapons end up getting used.

At least part of it will end up used in terror acts killing Poles like me or their big fan @tomasz when all the surviving banderites will disperse around the Europe and their old hatreds will surface.

Also 100% they are gonna blame Poland for not openly joining their war.

Not a very good one, given that Russia has invaded another country and is both recklessly and intentionally targeting its civilian and their infrastructure.

Since you're evidently utterly ignorant of history, I recommend reading this book produced by US military, it makes it crystal clear that allies played a minor role in the war:

a few quotes from it

I think you just had critical history book malfunction. What was western allies back then now support nazis.

[–] Shrike502@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 2 years ago
