Turns out that #germany ' #military has no #teeth , with their #stockpiles of #weapons being completely #outdated https://youtube.com/watch?v=LuuzmpB_TRw No wonder they are in a rush to send to #ukraine and #replenish their #spending . It sounds like #nato would have been really fucked if it ever needed #germany 's help. Bare in mind, #germany also #blocked #vital #weapons and #supplies just before the #invasion kicked off. They are really not looking good.
Sounds like the #silicon #chip #shortage is still going strong, with #toyota looking to slash global #production by 40% https://www.bbc.com/news/business-582667.. I suspect their internal #stockpiles are now depleted... And this is why many Countries need their *own* #manufacturing and not to rely on #china - who are now purposely restricting #foreign #export for in-house use.
