In the case of shells, the problem isn’t money, it’s lack of production capacity. Even the mighty USA, owner of the largest military-industrial complex in the world, can only produce 28,000 rounds of 155mm per month – less than 10pc of what Ukraine needs – and this with its factories on 24-hour operation.

Maybe libs should read this.

Who am I kidding, they'll still call anything that says the west isn't the best Russian propaganda or whatever.

amazing how all the mainstream western media is full of Russian propaganda all of a sudden :)

[-] PanArab@lemmygrad.ml 39 points 5 months ago

The welfare-addicted West

The poor are strangers even in their own country

a right removed if I've ever seen one

[-] Shrike502@lemmygrad.ml 11 points 5 months ago

Funny, I know some folks who legit think that

I mean the EU is pretty straightforward about their members having to do austerity policies the next years. I think Belgium has to cut like 30+ billion euro. Our public systems are already falling apart due to lack of funds. I expect a mass call to privatisation across the entire EU in the coming years. US 2.0.

[-] yogthos@lemmygrad.ml 26 points 5 months ago

That's right, Europeans will finally get to enjoy the same kinds of freedoms US workers have been enjoying.

[-] DankZedong@lemmygrad.ml 15 points 5 months ago

Luckily unions are still a thing

[-] bleepingblorp@lemmygrad.ml 14 points 5 months ago

Once upon a time we had unions here too.

[-] yogthos@lemmygrad.ml 12 points 5 months ago

Indeed, people are going to be rediscovering the reasons workers need collective bargaining in a hurry.

[-] Aria@lemmygrad.ml 12 points 5 months ago

How much more you reckon before we finally accept we need to divest from the yanks?

[-] ksynwa@lemmygrad.ml 15 points 5 months ago

European countries don't really get to choose. It's a blood pact they signed when they chose to be American proxies against the barbaric asiatics rather seeking peaceful coexistence and redevlopment after WW2.

"It's for Ukraine guys, you wouldn't want thet ebil orcs to win would you"

[-] Shrike502@lemmygrad.ml 25 points 5 months ago

Read the headline as "warfare addicted" and thought "hey that's unusually honest"

[-] multitotal@lemmygrad.ml 23 points 5 months ago

Same people will tell you the EU is not at war with Russia.

[-] redline@lemmygrad.ml 22 points 5 months ago

is militarised austerity edible?

[-] Red_Scare@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 5 months ago

Some inject it right into their veins, dunno if that counts

[-] Shrike502@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 5 months ago

What was that slogan from back in the day? "Cannons instead of butter"

[-] yogthos@lemmygrad.ml 15 points 5 months ago

lol people are starting to catch on

[-] SugandeseDelegation@lemmygrad.ml 13 points 5 months ago

Not just any people, Telegraph readers

Well, the empire has got to bleed itself somehow

[-] AlbigensianGhoul@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 5 months ago

Found a new emoji.

[-] FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today -1 points 5 months ago

LMFAO "while Russia's might grows" bro is delusional.

[-] bleepingblorp@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 5 months ago

Why do we even bother talking to these people... like this one is clearly not in lemmygrad on good faith

[-] FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 0 points 5 months ago

Because they're bots and a bot administrator whose full time job is to shill for dictatorships.

[-] PoY@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 5 months ago

unaware commenter calls others unaware.. doesn't see the irony

[-] m532@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 5 months ago

Did you just call yourself a bot?

[-] rainpizza@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 5 months ago

Looks like a funny Freudian slip from that smug liberal

[-] yogthos@lemmygrad.ml -1 points 5 months ago

The only people who are delusional are the ones who don't understand how powerful Russian army has become over the past two years. Maybe educate yourself by reading what people with a clue have to say on the subject https://rusi.org/explore-our-research/publications/commentary/attritional-art-war-lessons-russian-war-ukraine

[-] FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 0 points 5 months ago

They can't even win against a small nation like Ukraine after a drawn out 2 year long war.

[-] Aria@lemmygrad.ml 0 points 5 months ago

What do you consider a big nation, mate?

[-] FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 0 points 5 months ago

I think Ukraine's 36 Million compared to Russia's 147 Million puts things pretty well into perspective.

[-] Aria@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 5 months ago

Alright, so not so much small as smaller than Russia. Of course that means there are only 10 or so nations that aren't small. How absurd it is then for NATO to be losing to tiny Russia...

[-] FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 0 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Ukraine isn't a part of NATO, lol. If they were, the USA would be on Russia Shores from the Pacific, and Russia would be invaded by the other 5 NATO members who share a border with them at a minimum, potentially including Turkiye from across the Sea who alone have a top 10 standing for military and they have already backed Ukraine's membership approval.

[-] Aria@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 5 months ago

I'm talking about the article. The United Kingdom isn't Ukraine, and yet they're talking about how they, the rest of NATO and Ukraine are losing to Russia at arms production.

Though the lessons translate to a hot war too. If you don't have bombs to lob, you have to stop lobbing bombs.
