I just had a great idea that small countries that are under possible threat should get together to develop new weapons to defend themselves. They cannot depend on the US or others when it matters.
Countries like Ukraine, Georgia, the baltics, Poland, Taiwan, Israel etc etc could all be a part of it.
Baltics have been able to buy Javelins from the USA and Spikes from Israel. For some reason Obama is resistant to allow Ukraine to buy Javelins. Ukraine even has money now as they got a $17B loan from the IMF. There is no hope of Israel selling them Spikes.
I agree with developing own weapons on the overall sense, but building up these industries takes more time than is allotted before Russian invasion. For example Estonia has developed own reconnaissance drone, but so far it is much too inferior to what war against Russia would require. At least it is a work in progress.
Right now it is down to that selling Javelins to Ukraine is a political move Obama has not so far been willing to make. Even though it seems that people want it.
