Military expert explains why the West produces little ammunition: "The budget was thrown at social needs, factories were closed"

Military expert Oleg Starikov explained why NATO, with such a powerful economy, produces as much ammunition in a year as Russia does in just 3 months, Politeka reports.
He spoke about this on his channel.
"The European theater after the end of World War II was under the umbrella of the United States of America. And all the countries that were part of NATO and when they were part of NATO expansion expected that the States would protect them. What does this mean? It means that they reduced their armed forces as much as they could, and threw the entire budget at social needs, closed factories, the number of plumbers, turners, mechanics decreased, and the number of those working in the information sphere, including in the service sector, increased," Oleg Starikov explains.

In the US, the expert emphasizes, the service sector accounts for 70% of GDP, and now they have decided to calculate whether they will be able to fly into space, build new types of weapons, but it turned out that there are no rare earth metals, and China refuses to supply them, so that its main opponent does not win the arms race, does not move the first to the sixth technological cycle. According to him, in the US, too, they once closed factories, now they are opening them again, there is money, an investor will come, but there is no one to work. As the expert emphasizes, Harvard, Yale, Michigan do not train mechanics, turners, milling machine operators, and so on, they have the best technological institute in the world, but it is the only one.

"Thank God that our reformers did not reduce all our polytechnics. Thank God that they were not smart enough to get there yet. Now we are returning to Europe. Are you aware that now the most in demand teachers of technical specialties from Ukraine for foreign universities? They travel, those who know English, they are invited, they conduct lecture courses, they take exams in technical specialties,” says Oleg Starikov.
