If those are distances shown in red, who's supplying them with missiles/drones with that kind of range?
With Republicans stalling our funding and arms to Ukraine, I wonder if these are just the US using S.Korea as an intermediary. We give funds to S.Korea, they ship stuff to Ukraine.
Suppose Norway, or France does put troops on the ground.
I wasn't asking for a logical or moral argument. Just what the treaty says.
Article 6
Ukraine was known for its science and engineering when it was part of the USSR. They are very capable and clever which Russia is being reminded of to their detriment. They have converted huge old surface to air missiles into surface to surface missiles in addition to developing and modifying long range drones.
You think our government has that kind of power over corporations? We can't even get them to shift to renewable energy or refrain from war and pandemic profiteering. And, sadly, China knows that full well.
I am old enough to remember how things were in the 70s-80s before big corporate pressure got US and others to be ok with allowing China as a WTO partner so they could out source manufacturing for cheaper labor and low (no) regulatory prices.
That would require a very deep dive. Maybe we will have the “guts” to do that, but it requires sacrifice and serious reform.
Great post. What you say is so true and a threat across the nation. We simply can’t ramp up industrial production like we use to, for example like how we had to in WWII. It has weakened us as a nation. Makes you wonder as far as if a long game is in play…
Your last sentence is very telling. US and international corps basically play the “short term profit game”, expecting to either cash in now, or at least be out of the game before the consequences affect the bottom line. The short play that *** s on communities for quick gain without regard to future consequence. They give, as brother says, no **cks about the impacts.
That's partly why the spending on Ukraine is such a big deal. 80-90% of that money is being spent here in the USA on defense sector manufacturing jobs, starting up supply lines, building new factories, supporting new manufacturers and contractors entering the industry. We've all read the stories. New artillery plants. New Stinger missile production lines. High paying jobs. All solid investments in rebuilding the American manufacturing base that withered under outsourcing to China over the last 30 years. All being blocked by the House GOP, Johnson, at the demand of Trump.
Gotta build back capacity. Why does Joe Working Man think that the drump will push for American production and therefore economic growth amongst all?
They aren't going anywhere. I'll bet you $50. They have enough cannon fodder for years. They are psychotic and deranged.
I would take that bet.
