I’m just some geek.

And that’s just IT. I suspect it would be a lot harder if it was a physical product. It reminds me of Smarter Every Days videos about how hard it was to make a purely American made grill scrubber.


The frontline is basically stationary - a tiny Russian advancement - and has been so for a long time.
The economy of the UN who are supporting Ukraine is in much better shape than the Russian economy though, and it is easier for us to keep things up than it is for Russia.
Russia wants to live in a parallel reality where they aren’t losing.
Yeah, I intentionally said “European factory” and not “European company”. A lot of European companies have factories outside of the EU, and a lot of companies also make deals about rebranding the products from others that they sell.
