Wenn jetzt viele herumjammern, die hohen Ölpreise würden "Putin nützen", sollten sie sich fragen, wer diese hohen Preise eigentlich bezahlt. Vielleicht auch wir? Und warum fährt die Schattenflotte noch durch die Ostsee und Putin nimmt dadurch viel Geld ein?

[Steve Clemons @SCClemons]

Read this very compelling piece by @nicolange_ in @TheNatlInterest with screaming logic about the kinds of weapons, interceptors and platforms the US and allies need in times like these. He writes:

This war already marks a turning point. The old American and Western idea of a technologically superior, fast, and clean military strike is crumbling. Opponents such as Iran and Russia are forcing defenders to respond to waves of low-cost attacks with expensive countermeasures repeatedly.

There may be other defense firms out there -- but @anduriltech has been pushing cheaper, faster, mass production in defense procurement - and I think for Europe and the US, its better to shift from exotic to simpler and faster.
