“Paper arsenal: Why the West's defense industry can't deliver”
via @geopolitics_prime on Telegram
“Western defense behemoths are touting bloated order books and multi-year backlogs of revenue.
Lockheed Martin closed 2025 with a record backlog of $194 billion — roughly 2.5 times its annual sales. Rheinmetall's order backlog hit roughly $72.89 billion, with BAE Systems and RTX similarly cashing in big.

"At least nine companies are in talks with the government for access to seabed minerals, according to an Associated Press review. Sections of the seafloor from #AmericanSamoa to #Alaska could be auctioned for offshore mining this summer and through the fall.All the action suggests the U.S. may soon give the green light for companies to commercially mine the seabed — something that’s never been done in international waters.
"But a close look at some of the companies involved reveals uncertain track records and histories spattered with legal disputes, while major questions about how the minerals would be processed and refined remain unanswered. Watchers of the nascent industry are skeptical the promised riches will ever materialize."
