Russia’s recent strike on Boeing facilities in Ukraine has been portrayed as an attack on American business. The Dow-listed company has maintained operations in Ukraine despite the ongoing war and partnered with Ukrainian aircraft manufacturer Antonov in 2023 on joint defense projects.
“This is not just an attack against Ukraine, but also an attack where American business is being hit,” Andy Hunder, President of the ACC in Ukraine, which represents nearly 700 U.S. and international investors and corporate members, told the Kyiv Independent. “This is a war against a world where American businesses are making money and thriving,” he added.
The strike took place after Ukraine’s massive attack during Operation Spiderweb that destroyed hundreds of Russian drones and 41 war planes across four Russian airbases.
The media is portraying the strike on Boeing as an attack on American business. Similarly, the media portrayed the attack on German defense company Rheinmetall, which opened a new facility in Ukraine last year to produce military vehicles, as an attack on German business. The fact of the matter is that this is a time of war, and Russia is targeting defense manufacturing facilities.
War Tank Assault
If nations began opening or expanding defense manufacturing operations, say in Iran, then Israel and the US would take that as a sign of aggression, if not a direct threat to national security. Russia has repeatedly stated Western aggression is escalating tensions and prolonging the war. So not only are the EU, UK, and US sending countless funding and equipment to Ukraine, but private ventures from these nations are developing almost every piece of warfare equipment there.
The target was not America or Germany; rather, the target was defense manufacturing facilities. Several Western arms manufacturing facilities have opened joint ventures in Ukraine. Germany plans to open additional Rheinmetall facilities.
Fahrzeugbau Gesellschaft is working with a private Ukrainian weapons manufacturer to build a service center in Ukraine. The KDNS is another German-Franco joint venture in Ukraine that is mass producing weapons to kill Russians. Denmark opened MyDefence to produce counter-drone technology. The United Kingdom has joint ventures BAE Systems and Babcock.
The United States remains the top supplier of arms to Ukraine through private arms manufacturers, supplying around 43% of the weapons used in warfare. However, the majority are produced domestically and imported to Ukraine.
The Western-backed military-industrial complex has had a stronghold in Ukraine since the war began. These manufacturers were not operating in Ukraine before 2022. Russia naturally has an incentive to destroy these facilities, but that certainly does not indicate Russia is targeting European nations or the US.

Boeing management’s ability to damage Boeing is far more of a threat than anything Russia might do.
“Russia air attack damaged Boeing offices in Ukraine
Aerial strikes hit US aerospace giant’s premises in Kyiv, raising questions about Moscow’s intent”

It appears Vlad still holds all the cards. IBTG.

Too bad, so sad.

My uncle was a high level Boeing executive ( VP) and I remember him telling me their airline division made only a fraction of their revenue, $$$ millions….Boeing Aerospace and Defense made $$$billions.
There was talk at the time of Boeing selling off their commercial aircraft division, looks like that option is getting closer.
Reminiscent of Swedish firms running bearings plants in Schweinfurt during WWII.
BS. I guess the strategy now is to locate American companies, who belong part and parcel to the MIC, in volatile countries led by corrupt leaders willing to do whatever it takes to “kickback” aid or business to American politicians and the MIC!!
BUILD IN AMERICA. MAGA
While I am no fan of ‘Vlad the Invader’, hitting a aircraft manufacturer in a war is a legitimate military target.
?? Nothing online.
Good reason for them to move production back to the states.
Agreed. Don’t park the taco truck next to a riot in progress.
“The media is portraying the strike on Boeing as an attack on American business.”
Long ago the media (MSM) figured out it was extremely profitable to report on world events to the entire world and the NWO agenda was spawned. Thank God for X!!
Of course, Vlad is upset. After all, Israel destroyed the weapons production capability of Iran that Vlad depended on, especially their drones. Tit for Tat!
Just when you think Boeing has reached peak stupid, they pull an albatross out of their hat.
Is this not what Trump was aiming at when he proposed a mining agreement with Ukraine?
Putties little love tap.
How precious. A Uke trying to make a case for the US Military to protect US intrests.
Zelensky wants American Boots on the Ground.
