Absolutely true...

Tooling was moved to Egypt to mass produce the M1A1 Abrams, as well as the turbine engines.

Actually, going down into the weeds and chasing rabots a bit, since 2013/2014 the Russians have been using a well tooled version of the same turbine engine in thousands of highly upgraded versions of previously mothballed T-60 series/variations up to T-80 series/variations tanks. Some of the tanks are completely remotely automated, and can lethally fire at speeds of about 60mph. In the last 6 months, there may be as many as 3000 of these along the border of Ukraine, and near the line of contact (LOC) in the eastern Ukrainian energy rich Donbas region, and Crimea along the southern border of Ukraine. They are often parked near large, Russian controlled, Ukrainian coal and gas deposits/trends and drilling and mining operations.

Russia took big Ukrainian gas production, and is forcing Kiev to buy it back at high prices, as well as keeping Ukraine from selling it to Europe.

Russia also stopped big U.S. energy companies from developing very large Ukrainian Black Sea amd Donets region deposites, and is now going after it themselves.

I am sure this causes the Israelis to sleep better at night.

“rabots” = rabits

Probably many more mistakes, as sent from my phone

[I am sure this causes the Israelis to sleep better at night.]

The whole world (essentially) will eventually come against Israel.

It’s just a matter of time.

The whole world is in for the surprise of their lives when they do. /preaching to the choir

Of course, they don’t believe it.

They will. Too late for them, but they will.

Laugh, unbelieving world. Laugh. Laugh now. You won’t later.
