Europe Can’t Supply Ukraine With Weapons Fast Enough, Here’s Why (archive.ph)

Almost 18 months into the war in Ukraine, Europe’s defense contractors — flooded with demand for everything from ammunition to shoulder-launched missiles and combat vehicles — face a dilemma. Do they gamble on expanding production, assuming that the war and tensions with Russia will last indefinitely? Or hold back until...

gary_host_laptop OP ,
@gary_host_laptop@lemmy.ml avatar

I think this article focuses more on the private sector of the arm industry. Precisely the problem is that the ramping up of production has the objective of ending the war in favour of Ukraine, and if it were so all of the industrial expansion that would require would have lost sense since there would be overproduction. On the other hand they are interested if the war gets prolonged, but it wouldn’t make much sense for the Ukrainians. Another interpretetion is that Europe needs not to take care of it and be dependant of the US military industry.

It all comes down for profits for the CEOs of the military industrial complex.

gary_host_laptop OP ,
@gary_host_laptop@lemmy.ml avatar

Fair, but I doubt any one European country can take on the burden of being the one or biggest manufacturer in a way that can satisfy Ukraine’s needs, furthermore I doubt also that the US wants or will let that happen since they want to the industrial military complex monopoly in the West. Now that you mention it regarding the Taiwan issue, I think this could also mean the imperative need for a near end since they probably don’t want to have finance two such big projects at the same time, and they probably want some time between one and the other to stock some supplies.

Franco-UK plot to oust Gaddafi from Libya a disaster, says spy chief (archive.ph)

Former Tripoli station chief embarrasses DGSE: “We eliminated Gaddafi and destroyed his country without worrying that it was a rampart against Islamist terrorism. The consequences of this disastrous expedition were not foreseen. It was incomprehensible that Sarkozy wanted his scalp.”

Wunderwaffe does not mean it’s a great weapon, it just means it is portrayed as so in a way that helps in terms of propaganda to make it seems as if with X or Y weapon the war would be won. It was a trick employed by the Nazis, and in Ukraine it was already done multiple times, first were the HIMARS, then the Leopards, now cluster bombs, and so on.

”I wonder if this guy is secretly receiving funding from Russia. This is exactly the kind of article the SVR (Russian foreign intelligence agency) would want written. I don’t like that a small part of the AFU uses the symbol or has a white-supremacist past, but that’s no reason to stop supporting Ukraine. Russia’s territorial ambitions and lust for war crimes must be obliterated. Once there is peace, there will be plenty of time to deal with whatever far-right sentiment remains. Personally, I think the journey to EU and NATO membership will do much to moderate those people.”

Do you think we haven’t tried doing this? Have you even read anything about Latinamerican history? How do you want us to do that if we get fascists regimes every 5 fucking years? How do you build anything if you are debt trapped? Don’t fucking come with some shit about China doing the same, they are sending fucking money for infrastructure, which is a lot fucking better that whatever the people you support have done, let us do how we please and go and be butthurt somewhere else that we choose to align with whomever we want. If you fuck us up don’t cry that you end up isolated in geopolitics.

The institutions with broad popular support, not neoliberal right wing pro us imperialism shit, support China, so yeah, don’t come telling me about what we should do. We have massive inflation because of International Mother Fuckers IMF and coups and right wing neoliberals financed by the US and you think we need some sort of thingy to protect us from China?

The SBU accused them of being propagandists holding pro-Russian and pro-Belarusian views with the goal of destabilizing the internal situation in Ukraine and creating a “necessary information picture” for Russian and Belarusian channels.

During their trial, the brothers stated that “our case is completely fabricated from start to finish. What are we charged with? Pro-Belarussian views are being charged. We are being tried for our views. What kind of democracy can we talk about?”

Regarding the ban on KPU, Mykhail Kononovich had told Peoples Dispatch in an interview in February 2021, “I emphasize that the communist ideology, the idea, cannot be banned by any laws. So it is impossible to ban common sense and science. It is simply impossible to ban the Communist Party of Ukraine (KPU) because we are a party with more than a hundred years of history, a party that has an experience of subterranean struggles. We, communists, have fought and will continue to fight for the benefit of our people!”

In case you have misread. They never said what you claim, being communists and oppossing NATO is not some oxymoron that denies the other. In fact the position held by most communist parties in the Global South at the moment is this one, it is certainly the reality I’ve seen in Latinoamerica.

gary_host_laptop OP ,
@gary_host_laptop@lemmy.ml avatar

Both communist parties in Belarus and Russia are the second party with most members and are highly active in comparison to for example here in Latinamerica after the instalment of fascists regime by the US, where most were massacred in secret torture houses. So I’m not sure what you mean by there’s no communism in Belarus or Russia.

gary_host_laptop OP ,
@gary_host_laptop@lemmy.ml avatar

My point was that you said there wasn’t any communism in those countries, not about the statement of the Ukrainian brothers, which seemed wrong since they have pretty big parties considering the state of affairs in other places. I’m not a Westerner and I have a Belorussian friend with whom I talk about the political situation of the region. I never claimed those countries are still communists.
