โกA journalist stumped ๐บ๐ธ John Kirby with his question: Don't you think President Biden should play a role in achieving peace instead of saying he can handle two wars every time? Does it make a good impression when, instead of working on peaceful things, you have to fight two wars at the same time?' "Since the beginning of this administration, we have been committed to creating a more integrated, collaborative, peaceful, stable and prosperous Middle East." |

Allthelight:I'm surprised that someone is even asking me how US weapons are overpriced in 2023. It is mostly the result of how US economy is structured in terms of wages and general price levels. What costs a million dollars to build in America can be built in many other countries at a far lesser price. Sure, US weapons tend to have more quality but the difference is not good enough to justify the price difference. Consider the cost of Russian Submarines, tanks, missiles, missile defense systems, and others against those of USA. US weapons are far more expensive but the qualities remain similar. In fact, some Russian weapons are even more effective. Most countries would rather buy the S-400 than USA's THAAD not because the THAAD is more expensive but because the S-400 has better quality. The same thing applies in other things such as services and infrastructure. Why do you think many American companies prefer to outsource their production to Asia? Everything is overpriced in USA. Even food. |

seunny4lif:ww2 is not the same as current phase war. Inaccurate weapon is like a blind man firing a gun. Accuracy entrains precision and good decision through use of satellite, drone image, and radar. Your not a military so I don't expect you to understand. |

FoolishBoy419:Russia weapons are always good in papers, same thrash s-400 that Ukraine is frying in Crimea and belgorod. Or the useless expensive that Patriot is rising around. Russia weapons are always good in papers. |

FoolishBoy419:s-400 don't have a better quality it is just cheap... nothing more. It is cheap not because of the engineers but because most of the components are western origin and not produced within russia. Have u asked yourself why the u.s buys rockets from russia instead of building rocket ? |

WriterNiiig:How can Hamas that's living in the Middle East endanger Europe? Hamas has not declared Jihad on any European country. I have never heard of Asians or Africans sailing across the ocean to Europe in order to protect themselves from danger but since 1945, Europeans have been doing this. They've attacked Korea, Panama, Philippines, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Libya, Iraq, Syria, and many other countries in the name of "protecting" their faraway lands from terrorism or communism. If Palestinians endanger Europe tomorrow, it will be the result of the open support that Europeans are giving to the country that wants to exterminate them. You cannot leave your peaceful, prospering land and turn another man's region into a warzone and expect zero future repercussions from his children. |

okeysoninv:The S-400 is not invincible, but we know this because it's been battle-tested against a well-funded and US-backed army. The patriot missile that you are talking about is the most useless of the bunch. They have faced several battles with very poor results. I think Saudi Arabia is the biggest victim of that expensive scam |

FoolishBoy419:yea and why did Russia stopped using kinzhal to attack Patriot . You guys will be swallowing every propaganda with hook, line and sinker. Patriot is inferior but it has lendered the so hypersonic missiles useless that they even stopped attacking Kiev with it . |

Allthelight:Most of its components being from the West (I'm not sure this is even true) wouldn't necessarily make it cheaper. Don't forget that it's not just the S-400. Almost every Russian or Chinese weapon is cheaper than an American weapon of the same class. Like I said, this doesn't apply to weapons alone. It's just how their economy is structured. It's for this same reason that American retirees move to the Caribbean to enjoy their wealth. Even Americans admit that Russians make better rocket engines. It's not even debatable |

WriterNiiig:International coalition to fight a group of thugs on a tiny strip of land, who are not even a state army? What for? Do these presidents receive any training at all before assuming office? |
| Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by FoolishBoy419: 12:47pm On Oct 24, 2023 |
okeysoninv:Hypersonic missiles are still being developed. You should be more concerned about its failures to stop a single missile from ragtag groups in Yemen. The Patriot scam has been failing since 1991 and is still doing so in Ukraine. |

FoolishBoy419:like i have said you can't get true on twitter and facebook or on most news channels.. Most of the components are western while most of the materials are chinese or indian. No one can upset this balance except you are a real genius. Even materials for the F35 are mainly chinese and india origin |
| Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by seunny4lif(m): 12:49pm On Oct 24, 2023 |
Allthelight:The USA buy rockets from Russia because Russia rockets are the best, USA rockets are not good enough and same reason Russia government failed to produce commercial airline engines even if they are good with military engine. It is now that Russia is trying to build commercial airline engines after seeing how USA and EU crashed her aviation services USA most expensive drones have been shotdown or hacked by Iran, as Iran of all country, the country under massive sanctions. The most expensive jet which is F35, have lost over 10 without being at war, Japan, USA and Israeli military have grounded F35 many times, and Canada refused to buy the F35 for the same reason for years until this year after many secrets talked between USA and Canada, that Canada said the will buy F35. USA military equipments are overpriced and even USA government always said it, because USA military equiments are built by private contractors too many middlemen on the military deals unlike China and Russia military equiments are mostly built in their defense ministry. |

Allthelight:I googled and there was nothing to prove your claim and like I said, the S-400 is just one example. |
| Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by Allthelight(m): 12:54pm On Oct 24, 2023 |
seunny4lif:about that rocket stuff like i said you can't get legit news on twitter. I read a news about elon musk twitting about u.s broom sticks. The U.S can build rockets but it will be very expensive so it is better to buy. So you are only partially correct |
| Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by Allthelight(m): 12:56pm On Oct 24, 2023 |
FoolishBoy419:in most technology around the world today it is almost impossible to remove western and chinese technology |
| Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by FoolishBoy419: 12:59pm On Oct 24, 2023 |
Allthelight:Yes, I know that. But don't forget you implied that most of them are from the West. And you still have not explained why Western weapons and other products are much more expensive. You have not explained why Western companies prefer to produce goods in Asia and then ship them back to their homelands. |
| Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by Allthelight(m): 1:01pm On Oct 24, 2023 |
FoolishBoy419:Western products are more expensive because countries like China and India are very favourable, most (if not all) of earths rare metals are mined from china, this means materials for production will be very cheap. See why most manufacturing companies are moving there ? |
| Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by seunny4lif(m): 1:01pm On Oct 24, 2023 |
Allthelight:Infact to cut the story short now, everyone buy from China. Those people should move the factories to Ondo State joor ![]() F35 have Chinese made part too ![]() Even Isreali ordered some top military gears from China. Russia arrested 2 top Generals after the MOD release billions for them to built home-made walkie-talkie, but those Gens went ahead to order from Chinese and cover the body with Russian cases . China can just disable many countries system, if war broke out, just like USA did Russia dirty in 2008, when Russia military depends on GPS then, that was what forced Russia to take her GLONASS seriously and Syria gave them the best place to test it ![]() |
| Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by Allthelight(m): 1:06pm On Oct 24, 2023 |
seunny4lif:most technology consist of chinese materials and western secrets. |
| Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by FoolishBoy419: 1:09pm On Oct 24, 2023 |
seunny4lif:Thanks bro!! |
| Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by FoolishBoy419: 1:16pm On Oct 24, 2023 |
Allthelight:You are deliberately avoiding the issue of wages and general price levels but let's go like that. The most important thing is that you admitted that Western products are not more expensive solely because of quality. Now add in the fact that USA spends a lot of money on too many bases, too many aircraft carriers, too many unnecessary conflicts, too many parasitic allies, and you'll see why even a trillion dollars wouldn't do for USA as much as one would expect. |
| Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by Allthelight(m): 1:19pm On Oct 24, 2023 |
FoolishBoy419:Overprice ? If you are a manufacturer you won't use such term. I hope you know what a trillion dollars means because with around 50bn dollars i will do all those maintainance |
