    Paper tiger. If they think this war will wait two years for them to industrialize they are different kinds of high. Even if they do, they have the biggest neo liberal government on earth, thrusting money into the industrial military complex only means big profits for Lockheed Martin and very little output, plus Russia, China, and the rest of the anti imperialist core already have the advantage when it comes to manufacturing so they will be lagged behind anyway.

      Exactly, the elephant in the room is that if US is having trouble keeping up with Russia in terms of industrial production, they have no hope of matching China which absolutely dwarfs Russia industrially.

      If they think this war will wait two years for them to industrialize they are different kinds of high.

      It’s a process that has already begun and will continue for two more years. As the article states, the US has already gone from a pre-war production of 14,400 rounds per month to 90,000 now. So yields are ongoing. They are also working in the mean time to transfer supplies from current stockpiles until production levels ramp up.

      anti imperialist core

      Russia has invaded another country to steal its territory. That’s the

      advantage when it comes to manufacturing

      Consumer manufacturing and arms manufacturing are a very different matter. For better or for worse, the US absolutely dominates the international arms export market.
