Turning a high volume, low margin industry into a low volume high margin industry.
Nonsense, this is definitely the perfect time for Israel to start a war with Hezbollah, fascists are notoriously good at fighting two front wars! Hell, why not launch offensives in Jordan and Egypt as well? After all, they’re god’s chosen people, there’s no way they lose!
I'm starting to think a death cult obsessed with aesthetics isn't the highest form humanity is capable of taking.
But only as an aesthetic phenomenon are existence and the world justified
Didn't they say July this time? Correct me if I'm wrong but I think they said they would invade in June.
funny that I just saw some slop from ukraine saying ukraine's producing more artillery or some shit than all of europe. and funny enough I believe them since wunderwaffen production's so monitized it's surprising they've produced as much as they did prior to the war
Heavy industry was something that the USSR absolutely excelled at, I would assume that much of that industry is still kicking around.
Wasn't a lot of it was gutted in Ukraine?
I can't speak to present Ukrainian conditions, but there are many others here who can
And probably a lot less than before 2014, since they lost Donbas which is a heavy industry centre (they also tried to kill it with shock therapy after coup which was one of the factors of Donbas wanting autonomy).
If Xi opens a third front in Taiwan, or Kim in Korea, it's over. The American empire completely unravels. They should do both just to be sure.
those wars would be nuclear
People said the same shit about Russia and Iran.
Nuclear weapons are a paper tiger. 
Why would China go to war with themselves?
Sure but how short are they? I haven't kept up with how much the US was sending but weren't they literally sending more hardware than Israel could use?
Sending Israel B-52Ds and F-111s from the Davis Monthan boneyard to own the Houthis
And still the chickenhawks in U$A think they can take on China AND Russia.
The sad thing is that Liberals will keep pretending that the West has a bottomless pit of equipment no matter what happens, because they've been trained all their lives to think so, and cannot imagine a reality where that is not the case.
A F-35 crashes on the lawn of a Liberal Politician. A truck pulls up full of enlisted soldiers. They complain about mold in the barracks, shitty food, and how all their guns only have 3 bullets while picking up million dollar pieces of a billion dollar aircraft.
The Politician will continue to fund the creation of problem-laden "next gen" weapons platforms.
Somewhere in the Midwest a train with only one conductor at the helm derails next to the only remaining hospital in a 3 County radius.
Boston Dynamics names it's new Urban Pacification Bot "Sparky" and demonstrates the new Self Destruct feature.
A custodian at a charter school that teaches Creationism quietly paints over the Rhinos on the Noah's Ark mural because Rhinos are extinct.
Ay that last one was good
Step 1: export production to foreign countries. Step 2: sanction and wage war on countless foreign countries
Step 3: Piss off the rest of the world
Genius plan.
