A Thought On Russian Boycotts


Husker_Du

Recommended Posts

i don't know why i was thinking about this last night but...

just after the war broke out a ton of companies pulled out of russia.

but part of the Russian/China platform is nationalism.

with international corporations (esp in food and beverage) pulling out, doesn't that open markets domestically for RUS owned businesses?

isn't that exactly what Russia wants?

TBD

They don't have the ability to build factories any more.

Most food preparation machinery has ICs that will fall under dual use.

Machine tools are unavailable, so they can't even build their own.

Enough to be allowed to be used to develop Russian civilian businesses?

They are taking the antilock braking chips out of auto lines to use in the defense industry.

I don’t know, maybe if you’re well enough connected.  Not that long ago, heaters were pricy options for russian cars.

I don’t believe that for a minute.  

Here’s a (open source) picture of a vehicle stolen from a Russian private citizen and modified for military use by Russian conscripts. There are plenty of examples of this. You’re telling me you don’t believe they are having trouble sourcing and producing military equipment, when THIS is happening?

I don't know if this is real or not, but this killdozer is.  A dude with a properly dispute from Granby, CO built it and ran roughshod over town.

Look up 'cope cages' on google to get an idea about how Russians are trying to up-armor their existing vehicles.

They aren't effective, as it turns out.
