damn i wonder where russia got all that efficient manufacturing infrastructure
- Ukraine should ideally have the same efficient manufacturing infrastructure but they didn't have a Putin to stop their shock therapy
  
  Most of postsocialist countries had one round of shock therapy, though with varying lenghts and intensify.
  Ukraine had four.
- Of course it was all the amazing and innovative entrepreneurs who got rich very quickly in the 90s, for no reason in particular.
We're just watching the end of an RTS match where the player losing is hiding buildings around the map and building towers in hopes the winning player values their time enough to just quit
- lol basically
- UKRAINE IS ABOUT TO FLOAT THEIR CC
- I used to follow competitive AoE, and it is that, definitely, but lately the economy management strats have gotten so optimized that they're just about 5 minutes of very precise timing and lightning fast apm, and then a lot of micro fighting. Seeing all the matches be the same for the first 10 minutes got pretty old for me.
  
  US uses an infinite money cheat
The real question is is the Ukrainian government done with killing its population or can we do a little more war still
- Before I reply in earnest, please answer this question:
  "What was the Euromaidan"
  
  Open season for the next 40 minutes til the top of the hour!
  
  Couldn't be the result of the US backing a right-wing coup because they didn't like the outcome of an election. That would NEVER
  HAPPEN
  
  Reported for being a Russian bot, I hope the rubles were worth it
  
  an offensive war of conquest and oppression
  Come back when George Bush sits in the Iraqi prison cell where he belongs.
  
  My sibling in Satan the ukkkranians have suspended elections, outlawed all opposition parties, and integrated Nazi terror militias into their military. Is that the "freedom" you support?
  
  Vladimir Putin has been shelling Donbass civilians from inside Ukraine since then?
  
  attempting to conquer Ukraine since 2014
  lol
  
  You have spent exactly zero effort and time learning about the situation.
  
  Okay Victoria Nuland.
  
  I love it when libs try and give history lessons to us. you don't even know a quarter of what's been going on since 2014
  it's also funny when I see a headline with Russia/Ukraine in it and an unbalanced upvote-to-comment ratio, it's like a lib dunking siren
  
  If people fighting for their freedom against a totalitarian regime is your definition of unnecessary then maybe you should reevaluate your political opinions.
  Is the totalitarian regime the side with or without elections?
  
  His name is actually Vladimort Putler, get it right
  
  How can you know nothing about what you're talking about, yet seem to care so much?
  
  Vladimir Putin
  I'm pretty sure you're talking about Ivan the Terrible
  
  That's really not what happened, Ukraine bombed areas declaring independence, after a fachist coup
  
  You seem to not know who’s truly behind Russia’s invasion
  
  i thought this was a bit, but then i saw the domain... it never fails
  
  There is Hamas under Ukraine
  
  go serve yourself up a nice helping of that nuance you all love so much
  
  Oh honey.
However, asked if production at the factory would have been expanded sooner had the Ministry of Defence put in orders earlier, the managing director said: "The earlier an order comes, the sooner we can ramp up production."
I’m no logistician, but surely sitting around and making artillery on demand is wholly inefficient when you know that your customer is desperate and needs as much as possible
- But that would mean… maintaining an inventory!
  Line could be less up!
  
  And what if the war ends and there's nobody to buy the inventory! Gotta make sure that the cheque clears before you lift a finger.
- There's so many businesses that shouldn't run on a just in time basis. I can't believe anyone thought that was a good idea for a military force.
- are made for one shot
  Counterbattery fire is something NATO isn't particularly skilled too since they use to fight opponents who don't have artillery.
- 🤣
the power of uh...
basic logistics and supply
- facilitated by central planning and state owned industry :)
I read on the wikipedia for I think the HIMAR missile thing, it mentioned some country buying an israeli equivalent instead, because it could fit more missiles and more could be ordered, and it explicitly stated that Lockheed Martin's production capacity was "booked far into the future"
Newton already solved how to deliver a ballistic payload to a target, I'm sure the additional costs improve the efficiency at least twofold
Imagine losing a war to people you were earlier calling orcs and claiming they were fighting with shovels, because capitalism can't deliver an inexpensive and good product, even for imperialism
- we live in a dark comedy
