Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

“We are focused on producing all types of weapons and ammunition, and we show that we can test it on the battlefield and make it better during the war,” Kamyshin said. “That’s something we can contribute to the free world, because as you see, defense industry is becoming more and more important globally.”

So you want even more legitimate targets for bombing? What laughable idiot! data-laughing

It's going to most likely be Poland, Germany, Israel, US, UK building NATO's new "modern arms for WW3 for real". I just wonder how they are going to do that without Russia and China's vast mineral and rare earth supplies.

i'm sure canada is more than willing to tear apart the territories for the sake of ukraine

Let's be real, it'll mostly be the US. This is one type of manufacturing that is never getting offshored.

Here's hoping that that fact can halt or at least slow down weapons production. The mask has been slipping especially hard since 9/11 it seems but it feels like it's fully off now. Israel is going to try their hardest to take the rest of Palesrine and exploit its natural resources in order to bolster their military and will probably provide those resources to Ukraine as well. I'm really new with learning about US interests in these regions but looking at a map rn and it's kinda scary how many countries will be essentially controlled by the US or allied to it. Aren't Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Azerbaijan all friendly to the US?

Ukraine is a wartorn country and the Donbas with its resources isn't going to be part of it once the war ends. So…good luck? The only thing I can think of that's a pro in their column is even cheaper labor for exploitation than EU's Eastern European countries.

I'm not too familiar with the Donbas situation and I'd like to learn more, know of any good resource for me to read up?

Edit lmao not donna's

[–] hexaflexagonbear@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

Lol. Lmao. I'm sure every congressperson whose reelection chances hinge on weapons manufacturing in their district will be thrilled to hear this. How do they not realize that weapons mabufacturing isn't to fill a need?

[–] supafuzz@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

yeah I'm sure Russia will let that skate

[–] footfaults@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

They won't ever build weapons there, but they certainly will use Ukraine as a proving ground for all those weapons
