Unfortunately, you're not well-informed. Probably a NAFO too. Are you a NAFO?
The 1990s marked a significant period of transition for American manufacturing, with the movement of production to China leading to substantial job losses and economic decline in the Rust Belt. However, recent trends suggest a potential resurgence in manufacturing, driven by global economic shifts and a focus on domestic production.
What planet do you live on — Objectively they were provoked, by NATO on their doorstep. Let's see how that would work if China or Russia parked their bases in both Mexico and Canada, minutes away from Washington ...
You don't know what you don't know. So you weren't around when America shut down all its industry and moved manufacturing to China? LOL I still stand by my position that it will take a least a decade to spin up manufacturing to be able to compete with Russian manufacturing of military product. Other than China or possibly India, Russia hasn't any competition in this regard. That's one of the reasons they've won the war, well, that and superior military tactics. Russia has never been conquered—Not even close.
No simply trying to know if you have facts on your side of the discussion. Why would I bait you to rile you up? That's not my style, although I've experienced it personally, especially on Lemmy.world.
O pull your head out of the sand. You must be young and don't remember the Rust Bowl in America. And all the Americans thrown out of work as they deindustrialized. No one has the capacity to beat Russia in producing armaments. It takes years to build that type of capacity.
The EU and America ARE starting from scratch. They shuttered most of their industrial capacity, thinking war in the future was only going to be high-tech.
The EU leaders in Brussels are crazy! It'll be a self-fulfilling prophecy if they keep being belligerent towards Russia. The EU is a middle power at best. Russia doesn't need any more territory, nor does it want to occupy land in the eastern Baltic's. It's fearmongering for the EU to manufacture consent.
What threat does Russia pose to us, and why should we care about Ukraine? It's a border dispute and none of anyone's business apart from the protagonists!
@legolas@fedit.pl Very reasonable proposal, but, I think the controversial posts not showing votes, should be the default for all posts. There's a lot of brigading, especially in some Lemmy groups.
