The Ukraine war. (Yes, we'll mind our manners)

Very good point. We outsourced most all manufacturing. In a pinch, we now cant even repurpose existing lines to make what we need. All an enemy need do is cut off any supply line from Mexico and we're toast. I need not mention the supply lines in Asia because that would take minimal effort to stop.

We don't mine coal or other resources critical to defense. So even if we could conceivably manufacture something, we have no raw materials.

This little blurb of info should really alert people for more reasons than this conflict, but it wont.

China is trying to do that.

3rd story by Reuters this week on arty shells. It looks like they are starting to justify being so wrong for so long.

China is trying to do that.

They are and worse. Thats why i cant believe we're risking open war for benevolent reasons whilst ignoring the mostly open war on our doorsteps

This again? Still think the Russians will be in Paris and Berlin if we don’t stop them in Ukraine?

I am asking nicely, please understand what’s different now than in 1938.

The Eurasian war as its currently being waged is absolutely Un-winnable for the "West"

I don't think there's any reason to expect Russian forces to attempt a WW2 style takeover of European cities

Happy Summer Sunday, CatFans
