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.

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?
I hope a couple of boat loads of brand new in-the-box Serbian Zastava AK’s make their way over here!😎
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.

Ferengi Rule of Acquisition #34: War is good for business. (For you Star Trek fans).

I can’t find it right now, but it wasn’t ANFO or Tannerite.

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.
I think the M-77s are still getting here.
Is that a Jean Luc Picard Star Trek?
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.
