Boeing Pushes For a Hot War With Russia Under the "Best Deal Possible"

Editor's note: These are not "defense contractors." These US weapons and munitions manufacturers are a threat to humanity and to use the term "defense contractors" is a misnomer. These defense contractors like Boeing are war contractors. As if there are not enough extremely complex problems (it is an economic war) between Russia, Germany, the US, the EU (Ukraine is a weapons dumping ground for NATO) and the UK with this proxy war going on in Ukraine against Russia, "Boeing contacts the Pentagon and offers their GLSDB bombs that can hit 150km behind Russian lines." What will Russia's response be? Will the Makeyev Rocket Design Bureau offer the Russian military its RS-28 Sarmat for strikes deep into American territory? Boeing and the Pentagon know very well (handed the Neocon keys to war) this war didn't start on 24 February 2022. It has been raging since 2014 and Boeing along with the Pentagon will do everything they can to escalate and extend this proxy war against Russia for as long as they profitably can.

Pentagon mulls sending Ukraine GLSDB bombs that can hit 150 km behind Russian lines

Boeing has offered the Pentagon to organize the supply to Ukraine of high-precision bombs, the so-called small-caliber bombs launched from the ground GLSDB (Ground Launched Small Diameter Bomb), Reuters reported, citing sources in the military industry.

According to the agency, the Pentagon received an offer from Boeing, the developer of GLSDB, and is currently considering the possibility of supplying these munitions to Ukraine. The company itself is ready for mass production of this munition, which allows striking at a significant range of 150 km without the use of aviation.

The GLSDB (Ground Launched Small Diameter Bomb) combines the GBU-39 Small Diameter Bomb (SDB) with the M26 rocket motor. M26 is an unguided 227-mm missile for M270 MLRS. The munition is launched from the same MLRS, but at the highest point the bomb separates from the missile and hit the target, as if dropped from an aircraft.

The Ukrainian military is armed with launchers for GLSDB, these are the same HIMARS MLRS or M270 MLRS, supplied by European countries. Boeing proposes to start deliveries in the spring of 2023.

However, there are many logistical obstacles to formal procurement. Firstly, The Boeing plan requires a price discovery waiver, exempting the contractor from an in-depth review that ensures the Pentagon is getting the best deal possible. Secondly, arrangement would also require at least six suppliers to expedite shipments of their parts and services to produce the weapons quickly, which is currently impossible. And, thirdly, the United States consistently opposes the supply of long-range missiles to Ukraine for the same HIMARS, fearing that Kiev will begin to strike deep into Russian territory.

This is the appalling level of American intellectual capability. Now strap that appalling level of intellectual capability embedded in American institutions onto weapons manufacturers offering those weapons to the Pentagon. That is a certain formula for disaster.

In America, You Can Have Impeccable Academic Credentials and Still Be a Dummy

Then there are people who are euphemistically called "intellectuals" in the US like this guy pointed out in the linked article above in his article for AEI (American Enterprise Institute) writing copy editing advertising like "Russia's military is being reduced to rubble." Sure thing, Brands, anything you advertise. While the Russian military continues to grind Ukraine into the mud. That is a commercial advertisement for continued support of US war contractors to continue with their profiteering. The enterprise of war leading to the collapse of America.
