I wonder how much of Ukrainian technology goes to Russia through US channels

Looks like the Ukraine doesn’t need US and European arms anylonger

Ukraine could use Saudi cash

Ukraine’s experience fighting Iranian-style drones is becoming a global asset. What started as wartime necessity is now shaping new defense partnerships far beyond Europe.

This is a low-key brilliant Mid East strategy.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend…Saudi is pissed off at a neighbor with attacking with drones. They don’t want to directly fight that enemy. Plus, directly attacking the IR will only make it worse…
So, let’s give resources to people who are the biggest victims of the IR’s drones. IR can retaliate, but now SA has many, many moves to play. IR only has a few.

KSA already cooperated with Ukraine on arms even before the war. Russia helping Iran isn’t making KSA interested in doing them any favors either.

Smashing the myth that US has the best weapons.
Ukrainian knowledge can Make America Great Again.

I feel like this is how a large world war starts. Everyone gets into this war posture. All these countries start arming themselves, testing their adversaries in little skirmishes and eventually someone takes it too far and yea.

Honestly, I hope the entire Middle East unite together and destroy Iran. Their ideology is a threat to global peace.
Sure, the US made a stupid decision but Iran has been responsible for supporting Hamas, Houthis, Kurds and so many more regional groups which cause instability across the entire region. This along with the senseless violence across neighbouring countries like the UAE which is known for its peace and warmth have clearly shown a signal that they can never be a trusted partner unless their ideology is completely eradicated.
The Iranian regime can never be trusted. Women oppressed, kids oppressed, beatings allowed everywhere and a millennia of history and culture dissolved due to the greed to be righteous. A modern Iran could be the biggest Middle Eastern country if it would have chose a different route.
Though if the other countries want to attract investments, they have to show that they can be stable and removing Iran should solve a lot of their problems. The Oil money is gonna run out sooner or later.

Unfortunately Russia will be able to step up their game with the massive boost in oil income. So I sure hope Ukraine gets something in return.

Love how progressive reddit are always harping about how arms companies are the biggest evil in the world but then the same people will be like go Ukraine be the big arms exporter.
Ps: also likely someone will be like how they are only selling defensive weapons ignoring that is just for now.
If anyone doesn’t think the defense industry will cast a looping shadow over ukraines future they are gonna be for a rude awakening.

If Ukraine does have weapons to export wouldn’t it be better to use it at home against Russia?
Honest question, no agenda.

I thought Ukraine was a warzone and needed Western money to survive? So they have excess capacity to be EXPORTING weapons? What a scam.

Oh man the US industrial complex is going to be pissed about this. Surely Saudi Arabia wants to buy some F-35s and Patriots instead?
