    So do you propose you and I start an arms cooperative this afternoon? I don’t exactly disapprove, it’s what I might have done in the 50s, yet we’re out of time.

      No, I am saying if people truely believed that we are in a situation of existential risk, then the German government would be talking about nationalizing existing companies like Rheinmetall.

      That they are not talking about that at all, tells us a lot about their true motivations.

        I agree with that being the better idea, in the governments’… limited defence I think it’s more a lack of comprehending the urgency than profiteering. I hope so at least.
