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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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. --

have they considered like, making their own weapons like every country with a viable long-term national defense strategy or is that illegal under whatever hollowed-out neoliberal financialized state washington demanded they become in return for all the ammo
Kind of hard to do when Russia can hit anywhere in Ukraine with a precision missile strike. Not to mention that Ukraine no longer has a functioning power grid which sort of precludes any sort of military production at scale.
It really illuminates how incredible it is, what Palestine has been able to accomplish in worse circumstances.
Remembering now that Ukraine denounced Palestine and aspires to be Israel, but it can’t even accomplish what Palestinians can do in tunnels despite the Zelenskillion dollars in aid from western allies
And how despite waging asymmetrical warfare for decades, the west has no fucking clue what to do when they’re on the other side of that equation
I mentioned it in another comment, but the west actually does know how to engage in asymmetrical warfare as they’re the ones who fund and train insurgents across the globe really. In Ukraine that was pretty much the plan since initially Ukraine was supposed to invade the Donbas then once Russia responded Ukraine was going to engage them in an insurgent campaign until the Russian economy gave up due to sanctions. Obviously that didn’t happen for a multitude of reasons but that was the plan anyways.
Any sources or further reading i could do there? Sounds interesting, I just haven't heard anything about this so far.
The only source I have was an RT segment they did where they found manuals printed by the national endowment for democracy describing what I said in my comment. It’ll be hard to find that clip again since RT is banned in the US
Ah, shame.
