The UK has dropped out of the top ten global manufacturing nations for the first time, as reported by Make UK. Discover the factors behind this shift and the urgent call for a long-term industrial strategy to revitalise the sector.
Yeah, Russia’s fuckin cleaning up. They’re the biggest country on Earth and they’re 12th on the chart. They’re trying to invade their neighbor that they’re 28 times bigger than, and they’re stuck on the border after 2 years. You know, like winners do.
Now that Ukraine got their aid package, and the rest of the world + Ukraine has had enough of a wake up call that the US is not necessarily a reliable partner, I think it’s highly unlikely that Russia will be able to do any better than a stalemate and peace agreement keeping some of the stuff they already stole. They may do worse than that (particularly if Trump doesn’t win). They also seem very shocked and aggrieved that people are now allowed to attack inside their borders, as if that is cheating.
IDK why you keep cherry picking Germany when it is such a small part of the overall aid-for-Ukraine picture (and not really doing badly – democratic countries tend to pick on small or moderate issues and write about them as big deals, of course, but in the grand scheme of things it’s nowhere near the types of problems Russia is having), or on the UK when Brexit is very clearly the source of their problems. If you wanted to celebrate Russian victories, I think celebrating Russia’s influence operations getting Trump and Brexit in place would be a lot more sensible than would holding up the Ukraine war and their capacity with industrial production. But IDK; you do you.
What’s the oldest tank Russia is fielding in Ukraine? Just in your understanding. And why?
Freagle! Good to see you.
