Russia's mounting offensive in eastern Ukraine has left the West in panic.
EU foreign affairs chief Joseph Borrell warned member nations that the war in Ukraine will be over unless the bloc finds a way to speed up provision of ammunition to Ukraine within weeks. The EU defence minister will hold a special meeting next month to discuss further military aid to Ukraine from their existing stocks.
Borrell said "much more has to be done much quicker'.

Well put, and excellent information provided for those interested.
It’s sad when it takes Hindustan Times and other non-western media outlets to lead and push this information to the forefront, with MSM outlets following instead of leading:

Ukraine war ‘over’ unless EU boosts military support, says top diplomat
What concerns me is that the US' stance is helping to drive a competitor to the SWIFT system, competitors to currency options for trade and potential withering of the Bretton Woods petrodollar, and the continuously rising debt of the once "wealthiest nation in the world."
Politics was never a substitute for statesmanship, rational economics or plain commonsense. But politics is being served up non-stop from the media as from the politicians worldwide, as if consequences are never going to arise.
Best regards.
I love your graph but it is missing the color that represents kickbacks to lefties in all the countries listed. That is what this is largely about and represents a large percentage in this corrupt money laundering scheme that has virtually no accountability.
Those high-heeled Prada jump stilettos and the Prada assault handbags don't come cheap...
“Strong” words, Nick.
They can get some of them snakes and sparklers for the tanks.
Snakes and sparklers are what you Ruskies have left for your 1960s tanks (anything more modern is blown up)
Apparently, the entire posted article went right over your head, and you’re continuing to quack your neoconned Talking Points like a Flip Wilson doll.
Man, with these neoconned bots, Denali ain’t just a dyslexic mountain in Alaska...
Production lines for advanced precision weapons are expensive. They take years and $ to get set up. It’s not like Europe has been pulling its own weight to begin with. So yes it will anywhere between 2-8 years to replace what we gave Ukes.
No airfare is needed. Anyone in Western Europe, Cananda, or the United States who would like to volunteer to defend Ukraine merely needs to present themselves at any Ukrainian embassy or consulate. Providing your own kit is preferred, but not required. Rudimentary training and transportation to the front will be provided. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy appreciates your heroic sacrifice, and your posts here will of course be dearly missed.
apparently you didn’t even read the article. It’s a link to a youtube video with opinions.
Perhaps you don’t realize that the West has enough ammunitions to blow your Putinist military mile high
Who even writes stuff like this?
I like your map posts - but your opinions are garbage.
“So yes it will anywhere between 2-8 years to replace what we gave Ukes.”
Likely towards the high end, considering that what we have to deal with:
1. Acquiring the raw materials from countries that either hate us, or are not too hot on us.
2. Building permits and making factories - for example, it’s difficult to re-convert a shopping center that had been an aerospace plant...back to being an aerospace plant.
3. Training a bunch of Video Game Junkies to understand which end of a screwdriver to hold.
4. Speaking of junkies, either getting rid of drug testing at these factories, or trying to find several thousand people who can actually pass a drug test.
5. Dealing with a workforce that is a victim of our HORRIFIC ‘educational system’.
The bottom line is that the problems are far worse than simply creating and starting up production lines - the problem is that we are NOT NEARLY the same country we were even 30 years ago.
“The Western militaries have enough tanks, military vehicles and ammunition. They are just complaining that they don’t have enough for a 5 year war”
Link please - when did they say “next summer”, as they stated when they’ll run out, become 5 years?
“Denial is the most predictable of human responses.”
You understand it all well. The political grift takes years also.
Link please for your false allegations
