Poland's PM urges Europe to act over Ukraine

Money spent=/=production or productive capacity or performance.

Everything in the west is just really fucking expensive, because defense industry is a racket meant to make profit not weapons.

And? Bying 1 152mm artillery shell at 4000$ doesn't automatically mean it is better than the 1000$ one, it just means you got overcharged.

It's a herculean task to create the sort of military industry Russia or US have. Aside from supply chains, there's energy production, factories, workers, engineers that would be needed to spin up such industry. It's a decades long process. Either European leaders have absolutely no clue how modern industry works or they're just cynically lying to European public.

In the 3 years of the war we didn't seen any creation of the military industry in Europe, instead we did seen deindustrialisation in key countries like Germany and UK. Also their so called ally, US, actively supress them with energy prices and actions like Nordstream sabotage. Even the country which military expenditure risen the most, Poland, just buy weapons in Occupied Korea, with barely any effort of sustainability other than forking money. And all that even before we talk about corruption and wastage in governments and military industries.
