    So European arms manufacturing is dead?

    Yeah, and so is America’s

    America, EU and the rest of the collective west are being outproduced by Russia, Iran and the DPRK

      I get that we have run very low on munitions, but my point is that we still have factories that are in fact producing munitions, it is not like Bofors and similar companies have stopped existing, they are still producing munitions.

      This means that they are still alive.

      How long before Russia, Iran and DPRK topple western hegemony with their massive guns? For real though, I think this statement is a little bullshit if you choose to exclude China from the equation.

        There is no proof China has been supplying Russia with war material any more than they’ve been doing to Ukraine

          True and not something I implied. I just do not think Russia, Iran and DPRK are anything near outscaling western weapons production and research without China. Maybe for some subset of the industry, but not as a whole.
