Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
It’s pretty much joever. Russia has turned their industrial capacity on and is preparing for war with the entirety of NATO if nato is dumb enough to push Russias buttons. In order for the United States and Europe to do anything similar they would have to build brand new factories, teach people valuable and high paying skills, design all new weapons to deal with the new threats of a modern battlefield, the produce like it’s never produced before. Literally none of that is going to happen for various reasons.
Soviet industrial capacity carrying a clown country 30 years later
No a lot of this increased capacity is due to new production lines. Soviet industry I’m sure is still being used, but Putin has put a heavy emphasis on domestic capacity and an understanding that self sufficiency is the key to the multipolar world. That being said the only reason he does that is because of his Soviet upbringing, not that he’s a communist or anything, he’s just not a dumbass.
Yeah, I recall reading articles alluding to this shortly after the Georgian debacle; the framing of it was generally that of making Russia more insular and capable of weathering sanctions, especially in the aftermath of that conflict
