"Financial Times": European defense industry may not fulfill expected orders for Ukraine.
....
Together with the Army, the Police, the Special Services, and in the last 1-2 decades, the Civil Security (the system of institutions related to emergency situations),
The Defense industry has always been a key part of the State as a producer of security and its strategic pillar.
After the fall of the Berlin Wall, the West gradually abandoned the idea (allowed itself the illusion to believe) that it would hardly ever have to wage war in its own security space.
And as a result, the Western Defense industry (or rather, the Western defense industries) has almost be-come more or less one of all other industries.
The Defense industry, however, was never just one of all industries!
Unfortunately, in the new situation of peace dividends and Western complacency, the Western Defense industry began to pursue only its own, mercantile, selfish goals – financial, commercial above all. It focuses on arms sales in areas of global or regional insecurity. Areas that are far away, where there are gray areas, pseudo-states, failing and failed states. Where, who knows why, people – probably because of their primitiveness, like to destroy each other and cannot get along through conversations, negotiations and agreements.
The arrogance, so to speak, of the White man, or more precisely, of the people of the White States...
After a certain period of stress and stupor from the rashist aggression against Ukraine,
after painful and catalyzing processes of sobering up reflections,
The West realized that it had to change its attitude towards the Defense industry, to remember that it is a key part of the State as a producer of security and its strategic pillar.
The West realized that it would have to go to war, fight in its own security space as well.
And this requires a qualitatively new attitude towards the Defense industry. And to the Army as well.
In short, the international criminal Putin has done a colossal service to the West!
Putin, with his barbaric war against the beautiful Ukraine, made the West realize with mercilessly clear force that war is not always somewhere far away, but can be somewhere nearby, even very close!
So all rumors about the impotence of the Western defense industry are greatly exaggerated.
Here the interests of both the State and the Defense industry coincide.
The State produces Security.
The Defense industry is looking for profits.
What's new?
Well, the new is the well-forgotten old.
And it is that the Defense industry, above all and especially in the Democratic world, is not purely and simp-ly one of all industries, but is a strategic pillar of the State as a producer of security. And leading in the State-Defense industry dialogue is the State!
When the goal is formulated;
When the strategy is clarified and cleared;
When institutions and structures function;
When interests are in symbiosis and synergy;
When professionalism is unquestionable;
When new technologies are mobilized and "brought" into the game...
Then the West is capable of miracles.
There's very little left.
And it is
that part (churchill’s) of the West, which is FOR the victory of Ukraine,
to take a peak over
that part (Chamberlain's) of the West, which looks to pacify the international criminal Putin, and therefore wants nothing more than somehow Ukraine not to lose, but also to accept the fait accompli of known territorial concessions.
When this will happen – the leadership, visionary, courageous part of the West taking over the complacent, wavering, panicking part of the West,
then woe betide international criminal Putin and his hordes of orcs.
Then you will see what the Western defense industry and its armaments are capable of in the hands, minds, souls and hearts of the bravest warriors of the 21st century – the Ukrainians!
