    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.

      Hear me out, the part where it says “While Russia’s might grows” seems pretty propaganda to me. Those poor morons are being cut off from world trade and their shell production capacity is still below their own demands in the Ukraine war even after they ramped up production 2.5x and produce 7x as much as the USA.

      Plus, their plane jamming and other attacks on EU nations they’re not even at war with doesn’t seem like responsible foreign policy in the slightest. Even ISIS-K is invading Russia and more of their neighbors keep joining NATO.

      It’s the opposite of growing in power, they’re about to fuck around and find out.

        One of the wealthiest nations in the world which won’t even provide free school meals to children: “we need to cut welfare and spend more on war!”

          Lmao, does talking about the flaws of a random nation make you feel better about the militaristic dictatorship losing a war they started over mineral resources to a tiny neighbor?

            I’m talking about the article in the OP published by one of the leading right wing UK publications you daft removed.

        You realize that “world trade” is not just Europe/NA?

        Tho you’re right on it being propaganda, it is fascist propaganda to push for more military spending in Europe.
