In a "real war" they would scale up DJI, BYD, CATL plus all these other alphabet soup companies you buy off-hand from Amazon into something else. Xiaomi brags about their lights off factory that makes millions of phones. I don't want to know what their military has done on the dl with their own experimental factories, nor would most other Americans. Our numbers mostly gleam from projections of their current military arsenal. Some papers claim they're gearing up for war but if theyre juggling both cheaper EVs and building ships, what is full mobilization? Should I hope their economy is overheated or not? Most Americans would probably let Taiwan gp if it meant their 401ks kept growing for 3 years after it hapoened. So let's not think of a legit conflict happening anytime soon.
No doubt it is a major concern. Again we do have a stockpile of critical components and I would imagine we would rely more on domestic production and allied countries as time goes on. Fortunately we have a more powerful blue water navy and can still control shipping lanes to source components from places like Japan, India, UK. However the notion we don’t have anyone who can manufacture anything, which was asserted, is not true.
And for all China’s manufacturing might, there’s still tons of grift and corruption on top of the fact that all their weapon systems aren’t battle tested. How many missiles are actually filled with rocket fuel and will hit their target?
This is from January 2024: Corrupt Chinese Officials Filled Missiles With Water, Report Says https://www.newsweek.com/china-missiles-rocket-fuel-corrupt-officials-water-xi-jinping-1858491 Maybe Twitter didn’t allow it or maybe your particular algorithm is more about dumping on America.
Que stage right: in comes blackrock to save the day. Liberals got played. Turns out it was always about control of natural resources. We really didn't need to kill a million people to get here, but NPC programming will continue to drone on and to kill even more people.
Watch and learn, it will be over within a month, even though I don't think Zele sky wants it to end. Once we got the mineral rights. Trump will get Putin to end the war.
Yes Russia wanted to control Ukraine’s resources, gain more population, and create a buffer zone… just part of Russia’s historical MO which is why NATO was created. Cause and effect… I’m not sure what liberals have to do with it…. If the US isn’t willingly to fight Russia to keep this mineral deal intact…. It’s just a moot point.
Trump is just so desperate to notch any win… a lot of supporters are too dumb to understand. If Russia rolls back into Ukraine in a year, will the US military step in to secure their minerals rights?
you blowhards babbled on endlessly about Putin wanting to return Russia back to the great USSR empire. You guys zig zag back and forth to justify your war mongering. It was always about resources and strategic control. Putin fully understood Ukraine would never be able to defend itself.
Was Ukraine part of the former USSR or not? How about Belarus? Is that a former USSR state? It’s currently a Russian puppet state where Russian military is being housed which is next door to Poland…. Which was part of the USSR sphere as well. Why did the former USSR have so much territory? Whoops You Twitter boys are just so ignorant about history and end up supporting a war monger. The perfect useful idiots.
