- jfengel 2y agoOver ball bearings. Gonna take that report with a huge grain of salt, but it's got a very "for want of a shoe the battle was lost" kinda vibe.
- taylodl 2y agoYes, over ball bearings. They are amongst the most difficult items to manufacture, and good ball bearings are a symbol of a nation's technological and manufacturing prowess. Though it is somewhat funny to think about something as seemingly simple as ball bearings being a strategic asset!
