In the case of shells, the problem isn’t money, it’s lack of production capacity. Even the mighty USA, owner of the largest military-industrial complex in the world, can only produce 28,000 rounds of 155mm per month – less than 10pc of what Ukraine needs – and this with its factories on 24-hour operation.
Maybe libs should read this.
Who am I kidding, they'll still call anything that says the west isn't the best Russian propaganda or whatever.
amazing how all the mainstream western media is full of Russian propaganda all of a sudden :)
The welfare-addicted West
The poor are strangers even in their own country
I mean the EU is pretty straightforward about their members having to do austerity policies the next years. I think Belgium has to cut like 30+ billion euro. Our public systems are already falling apart due to lack of funds. I expect a mass call to privatisation across the entire EU in the coming years. US 2.0.
That's right, Europeans will finally get to enjoy the same kinds of freedoms US workers have been enjoying.
Indeed, people are going to be rediscovering the reasons workers need collective bargaining in a hurry.
I dunno we must not act helpless. Our unions have over 3 million members. That's over 60% of all working people. They can really organize a lot of people in a short time.
I'm not suggesting acting helpless. But if they can breakup the benefits and gains the unions won in past victories while the unions exist, then it does suggest that either they can break the unions themselves or they can render them so weak that it won't even matter if they exist.
That does mean people need to organize and take action, but the best moment to do that for non-revolutionary unions is probably before the gains are lost.
Otherwise, European unions can end up in a similar situation to unions in the US.
How much more you reckon before we finally accept we need to divest from the yanks?
European countries don't really get to choose. It's a blood pact they signed when they chose to be American proxies against the barbaric asiatics rather seeking peaceful coexistence and redevlopment after WW2.
Read the headline as "warfare addicted" and thought "hey that's unusually honest"
Haha remember when you had to go to niche fascist websites to read about how The West has fallen into decadence and the underclasses must suffer and die so that we can rebuild our glorious might to defeat the omnipresent Enemy?
"It's for Ukraine guys, you wouldn't want thet ebil orcs to win would you"What was that slogan from back in the day? "Cannons instead of butter"
Some inject it right into their veins, dunno if that counts
looks at picture at the top of the article... noticing that all of the places where there would usually be a patch are blank
Hey! Somebody got smart enough to ask the Ukrainian soldiers getting their pictures taken to take off all their (questionable) patches....
It's kinda funny how they thought no one would care about the patches for such a long time
Back when the conflict started for the first few weeks here (Central Europe) on TV every program that featured Ukraine soldiers showed them with brown scotch tape on their upper arms. After a while they no longer gave a shit. Probably because they thought that the Wolfsangel would be unique enough for the commoners.
burned through the young in two years, now they're stuck with the older folks...
