    I am aware of the history. But idiots spent 2 years on reddit OMG NATO GDP100X RUSSIA. GG send them challenger rheeee, W by fall of 23.

    Most of the “bad” decisions were made by people currently in charge today with in last 3 years.

    Sane voices were talking about setting up production… but they were drowned out by US defense contractor overcharging DoD on stale equipment AND THEY DID NOT HAVE MONEY TO GET ARTILLERY PRODUCTION GOING BECAUSE THAT REQUIRES INVESTMENTS. 🤡 private sector welfare queens jfc

    While limp EU4 were too busy waffling, Germany had to have their pipeline blown up before they gave their pathetic geopoltical rhetoric and start at least pretending to be an strategic ally.

    This was all happening when Russia was mobilizing their war economy. Maybe Putin is onto something…
