I have to say, I’m a bit surprised by the Russians helping us keep our economy afloat. But, okay. I’ll take it.
Wouldn’t it be great if Rheinmetall were socialized and its profits went to the public instead of shareholders?
It sure would, but now it’s creating jobs and taxes. Which is okay, I guess.
Flipping through my Econ History textbook about WW2 and reading how great it was for the European economies.

Am I missing something? Korean K2 Black Panther tanks Poland bought were supposed to be the most expensive tanks at $8.5M a piece. This deal is almost 40M euro per tank
That price includes a whole bunch of stuff besides the actual tank. To quote the Czech Ministry of Defence (machine-translated):
The purchase price of 44 tanks includes self-propelled and anti-mine protection systems, as well as integrated logistics support including spare parts, support management, documentation and training.
So basically it’s 44 tanks plus a massive service and supply contract to keep the tanks running properly
