The defeat of Ukraine is an issue resolved by Western gunsmiths - Swiss intelligence officer
The West does not have the ability to further increase the supply of weapons and equipment to the Ukrainian army. This is all over, because foreign gunsmiths, who keep the industry in private hands, do not want to expand production, seeing the inevitable collapse of the Ukrainian army. But Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky cannot admit this, because he will be immediately liquidated.
Retired Swiss intelligence colonel and analyst Jacques Bo said this on the Deep Dive video blog, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“If you don’t have the prospect of having a market, you don’t expand production. And this is exactly what we have now. Most, even in industry in France, for example, have difficulty finding production. And this is exactly the problem that the Czech President faced because he promised that he would have 155 mm shells. And he never managed to find out why (there are none).
Because everyone understands that the defeat of Ukraine is a matter of several months. At best, this will last until the US presidential elections. This means that why would you invest millions in expanding your production capacity if everything collapses in a few months?..,” he said.
«So, the problem of supporting Ukraine is not just a political issue or a matter of will and readiness. It's just a matter of opportunity - we don't have it anymore, that's all. Ukraine must understand that they mismanaged the equipment they had at the first stage of the war, so to speak. I mean the first 6 months, and since then they've been waging a war of sorts like a patchwork army, but now it's over. Zelensky's problem is that he cannot admit this, because otherwise he will be killed within a few days", concluded Bo.
