Ukraine's newly appointed head of defense industry says he wants to turn the country into a weapons hub for the West.

“We are focused on producing all types of weapons and ammunition, and we show that we can test it on the battlefield and make it better during the war,” Kamyshin said. “That’s something we can contribute to the free world, because as you see, defense industry is becoming more and more important globally.”

    So you want even more legitimate targets for bombing? What laughable idiot! data-laughing

    It's going to most likely be Poland, Germany, Israel, US, UK building NATO's new "modern arms for WW3 for real". I just wonder how they are going to do that without Russia and China's vast mineral and rare earth supplies.

      Let's be real, it'll mostly be the US. This is one type of manufacturing that is never getting offshored.

      Here's hoping that that fact can halt or at least slow down weapons production. The mask has been slipping especially hard since 9/11 it seems but it feels like it's fully off now. Israel is going to try their hardest to take the rest of Palesrine and exploit its natural resources in order to bolster their military and will probably provide those resources to Ukraine as well. I'm really new with learning about US interests in these regions but looking at a map rn and it's kinda scary how many countries will be essentially controlled by the US or allied to it. Aren't Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Azerbaijan all friendly to the US?
