Eastern Europe's arms industry is churning out guns, artillery shells and other military supplies at a pace not seen since the Cold War...

[N]early a dozen government and company officials and analysts who spoke to Reuters said the conflict also presented new opportunities for the region's arms industry.

Poland's...State-owned PGZ controls more than 50 companies making weapons and ammunition - from armoured transporters to unmanned air systems - and holds stakes in dozens more.

It now plans to invest up to 8 billion zlotys ($1.8 billion)over the next decade, more than double its pre-war target...

Other manufacturers too are increasing production capacity and racing to hire workers, companies and government officials from Poland, Slovakia and the Czech Republic said.

It looks like the Russian invasion of Ukraine is good for business, outside of Ukraine.

I hate to keep repeating my mantra since March. What do you expect in a brand new, multi trillion dollar, generational Cold War arms race?

Oh good, we can stop sending weapons and people and let Europe mop up their own issues. How much has Europe helped us with the countries invading us from the south?

The arms industry helped us preserve freedom at one point. Today it has morphed into a death industry that pushes conflict on behalf of it’s owners.

What?!? I’m so surprised!!!

I was called a conspiracy theorist right here on FR for saying Ukraine is an international money-laundering scheme by the globalist elites and the Military Industrial Complex.

It takes more faith to believe this is all on the up-and-up than it does to believe that this is money laundering and pumping the MIC with Putin as a useful idiot with his debacle of a war in Ukraine.

Deep state is having troubles stirring up a war to fire up their arms industry to replenish their bank accounts.

Putin made clear his intent in his December 17 declaration. He wants to recreate the USSR. Then chose to invade Russia.

The US, NATO and Eastern Europe are not going to turn back the clock. The only way to head off the next Cold War is stop it in Ukraine.

I want an AI based drone swarm with binary explosive compound attached.

I can’t find it right now, but it wasn’t ANFO or Tannerite.
It was a red highly viscous “goo”.
I think I saw it on here many years ago.
It showed a video with a tiny bit on a paperclip…

I shot a M-240, it was awesome.
One time expensive though.

Breaking windows is great for businesses. It gives work to people who have to repair them. They tend spend the money which gives jobs to other people.

No reason for us to be involved in the EU’s war against Russia.

The borders in Europe have gone back and forth for a thousand years without any help from the USA.
