    The west got itself into a trap in Ukraine. The west has to do significant investments in order to match Russia in terms of military industrial capacity. Meanwhile, western economies are already crumbling and the resources are scarce. Diverting resources towards military industry will lead to further austerity and collapse in living conditions in the west further fuelling internal discord and civil unrest.

      It’s almost like privatized industry is ineffective.

          Yeah, but they haven’t had it as long. The ineffectuality grows over time until you have an F35 on top of your plane and tank graveyards.

            Yeah all of the Soviet infrastructure and production facilities didn’t just all spontaneously disappear the moment Russia became capitalist.

          As usual it is a question of control. In USA, presenting MIC as holding the leash of the entire state (or, one of the three leashes) would not be an exaggeration. So who would even dare to control anything when Pentagon never passed an audit?

          Russia most probably controls their industry tighter.
