    have they considered like, making their own weapons like every country with a viable long-term national defense strategy or is that illegal under whatever hollowed-out neoliberal financialized state washington demanded they become in return for all the ammo

      Kind of hard to do when Russia can hit anywhere in Ukraine with a precision missile strike. Not to mention that Ukraine no longer has a functioning power grid which sort of precludes any sort of military production at scale.

          Remembering now that Ukraine denounced Palestine and aspires to be Israel, but it can’t even accomplish what Palestinians can do in tunnels despite the Zelenskillion dollars in aid from western allies

              I mentioned it in another comment, but the west actually does know how to engage in asymmetrical warfare as they’re the ones who fund and train insurgents across the globe really. In Ukraine that was pretty much the plan since initially Ukraine was supposed to invade the Donbas then once Russia responded Ukraine was going to engage them in an insurgent campaign until the Russian economy gave up due to sanctions. Obviously that didn’t happen for a multitude of reasons but that was the plan anyways.
