  31.  @maurvir3197  Russia did not switch to some total war economy. West is NOT handling Ukraine some excess old material - captured US Bradley was made in 2012. "Remember, the US and Europe are still in peace-time economies and aren't spending significantly on materiel production." EU does not have any means to do any "production" and they have no money to spend. They EU is on the brink of bankruptcy. The US military spending NOT AT WAR combined with interests payments are larger than that of Russia (!) US spends almost 50% of its tax income on military and interest payments.... I am sure US can somehow spend more on the military - maybe causing little starvation here and there ;) One has to note that aid to Ukraine is largest in human history. It is larger than all combined aid US sent during WWII. Expenditures on weapons alone are equivalent to all of EU - i.e. same number of tanks by value is sent to Ukraine per year as all of EU purchases. Eventually west may force China to enter the chat and it will dwarf any total war economy whole west can create. West made huge mistake by entering this war and now there does not seem to be any exit possible other than Russian total defeat of Ukraine. What do you propose? That west sends 2x purchase of weapons for all of EU to Ukraine??? Where will all that come from? Even if billions were spent to ramp up production - money that does not exist - it would take years to industrialize. Even with Hitler at the helm of Germany and Himmler saying that either you make a tank or die its not possible. It took Soviets 20 years to industrialize with millions that starved.... 20 years! Even with ramped up production by 2x we see Russia has at least 5x the advantage in ammo. In defense to overwhelm Russia one would need 3x or 4x production. Even with that you would need more people - people that Ukraine does not have. So either you need to send the French to the trenches or provide even more equipment. So say 6x. Where will all that stuff come from? People just don't seem to know how to count and realize they are asking for impossible.
