You are not the only one, which is an interesting commentary on how far the Arsenal of democracy has fallen.

  Other than the US and maybe England does anyone else in the “western democracies” have any more than some high tech gizmos in short supply that military economy Russia can’t overcome with their 50’s and 60s style warfare? I didn’t agree with 95%of what Trump said but I did agree with him trying to push for NATO countries to get on the ball and remilitarize because Russia is running their economy on war and oil now and Europes seems to be in lala land

    England has no real defense industry to speak of. They no longer have the ability to produce the steal needed for e.g. surface ships, they have to import it. Germany still has the ingredients for a defense industrial base, and so does France. Trump, well, he's right on this one. There's a pretty serious free-rider problem that's been festering since the Berlin wall fell.
