Update on the conflict in Ukraine for November 3, 2024…

Western media continues growing admissions to Ukraine’s collapsing fighting capacity while producing more outlandish propaganda pieces to distract away from Ukraine’s fate;

Several large Western arms corporations are announcing plans to build arms factories in Ukraine including for armored vehicles, air defense missiles, and artillery shells;

The collective West’s arms industry has failed to expand production sufficiently even with existing factories and trained workforces, making the prospects of building facilities in Ukraine a non-starter;

Industry plans will secure billions of dollars for projects that likely will not see completion or serve any effective role in the conflict;

This large transfer of public wealth to corporations amid a failed war resembles the over $1 trillion the US spent on “reconstruction,” building up military forces, and a proxy government in Afghanistan over the course of two decades;
