  3. They are about to start exporting donkeys. Great, beautiful donkeys. Best donkeys the world has ever seen. Amazing donkeys….

  4. Trump and Putin are devising a plan now for the US to bail them out

  5. And Chancellor Trump has shown that countries can’t rely on long-term US alliances and, therefore, US arms.

    Countries need more arms in this far more unsafe, unstable and war-prone world (thanks, Chancellor!) and there’s a new vacuum of arms reliability.

    Great time for a highly capitalized, stable democracy’s military-industrial complex. Terrible time for everything and everyone else.

  6. With Russia’s military equipment proven to be poor, and US equipment compromised and the establishment untrustworthy, I think I’m going to invest in European arms firms. Should be a massive boost for them, going forward

  7. Europe, please supply intelligence and logistics support to Ukraine. And more weapons. And punish the US for switching sides. No mineral deal. Make Europe Great Again! MEGA!!!

  8. The russian “Federation” is soon to be demilitarised and denazified.

    So it will have no more need for weapons production.

    Russians will work for free in extracting mineral resourses, which will have to be sold to pay reparations to Ukraine for decades.

  9. American and European hardware from the 80s have enabled a country with much smaller population to cause insane damage to the Russian war-machine. Imagine what Ukraine could have done if we had given them more top of the line stuff from the west. Better to spend a few extra dollars on gear from the west, than c-tier shit from Russia.

  12. And at the moment the USA (and its arms industry) could be doing victory laps around the world, we’ve chosen to compete for biggest loser. Sad . . .

  13. maybe it’s because they are using their manufacturing power for their actual war?

    but once the war is over it will boom again, lancets for everyone

  14. in a weird coincidence… different reason but same results for the us ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
