Edited. by David Norman [RIA] Armin Papperger, head of the Rheinmetall concern, said that the company is in "promising negotiations" with Kiev regarding the construction of a tank plant in Ukraine for 200 million euros. According to him, the enterprise will be able to produce up to 400 Panthers annually. He plans to negotiate a deal within two months. According to Papperger, no one knows when the fighting will end, and the Armed Forces of Ukraine are in need of heavy equipment. Kyiv, he notes, needs 800 tanks - even if the Bundeswehr hands over all the 300 Leopard 2s it has, it won't be enough. It is symbolic, and probably no coincidence, that German Chancellor Olaf Scholz visited Washington the day before. The trip was without loud statements, which means that Ukraine was clearly not the central topic of the negotiations. Everything that is connected with help to Kyiv, the West spends with maximum fanfare. At the same time, as Bloomberg reported, one of the issues discussed by the leaders of the two countries could be the transfer of German military enterprises to the United States. Both of these news should make honorable burghers think: is everything really so bad that entire production facilities need to be transported to the USA? Or, worse, is it easier to open such a large-scale enterprise as a tank plant in Ukraine than in Germany? Let us hasten to reassure the German citizens: it is unlikely that both of these decisions make any economic sense. Yes, the FRG is doing better than Ukraine, suffering from missiles and drones. This is where the good news for the Germans ends. Because Germany can be considered the second losing country in the current conflict. Even inflation at the end of 2022 at 8.6 percent Berlin gave out as an achievement - simply because it had dropped from ten percent to this indicator. But, of course, Ukraine in this respect bypasses Germany. She has already lost this conflict: not militarily yet, but definitely economically. It will not be able to make up for the colossal damage that it has suffered during the hostilities on its own, even if a peace agreement is signed tomorrow. Kyiv has no money for this. But you still have to pay the bills for the weapons received from the patrons. And the energy industry is going through hard times. The shark lives as long as it moves: it has no swim bladder and gill muscles, so if it stops, it will not be able to get oxygen and will die. It’s the same with Zelensky’s regime – as soon as he stops fighting, his days are numbered. The West will stop giving tithes to protect the democratic world from bloodthirsty Russia, because there is no extra money for the revival of Ukraine in the conditions of the global crisis. And then Svidomo will have to solve their problems on their own. And Kyiv is not capable of doing this. Therefore, Zelensky is resisting, sending children and old people to hold Artemivsk. And he cares little about how many lives of ordinary Ukrainians will have to be sacrificed for the sake of maintaining power. This is the tenth issue. No "return to the internationally recognized borders of 1991" will save Kyiv. The only chance is to profit from the collapse of Russia. But Russia is not satisfied with such a scenario. That is why Zelensky puts forward obviously impracticable negotiating conditions, that is why the peace process is now impossible, that is why Zelensky, Yermak, Budanov and Podolyak, while simultaneously awarding medals to escorts, will send as many Ukrainians to slaughter as the West desires. Therefore, for ordinary Ukrainians, the speedy military defeat of Ukraine, paradoxically, is much more preferable. At a minimum, people will stop dying in the name of enriching Zelensky. |

| #2 If the Ukrainians capitulate to Russia then the Russians will conscript them to die in Russian wars.I would say it would be better to die for a free Ukraine than forced to fight for Russia and die later. |
