Western Arms Industry Building "Factories" in Ukraine to Make Money, Not Arms/Ammunition
Update on the conflict in Ukraine for November 3, 2024…
- Western media continues growing admissions to Ukraine’s collapsing fighting capacity while producing more outlandish propaganda pieces to distract away from Ukraine’s fate;
- Several large Western arms corporations are announcing plans to build arms factories in Ukraine including for armored vehicles, air defense missiles, and artillery shells;
- The collective West’s arms industry has failed to expand production sufficiently even with existing factories and trained workforces, making the prospects of building facilities in Ukraine a non-starter;
- Industry plans will secure billions of dollars for projects that likely will not see completion or serve any effective role in the conflict;
- This large transfer of public wealth to corporations amid a failed war resembles the over $1 trillion the US spent on “reconstruction,” building up military forces, and a proxy government in Afghanistan over the course of two decades;
