OPINION: The West is wrong to assume it has global support in the war against Putin.
"While it may seem to be a straightforward ‘good guys versus bad guys’ scenario, even a cursory look shows a very different interpretation in much of the world. There simply isn’t the universal support for the West and opposition to Russia that many Westerners assume."

Forbes understands economics of #ArmsTrade
Local govt guarantees order-stream via defence spending. When foreign country places order, fulfil with stock produced for local military to speed up shipment of orders, besting competitors on turnaround. Offer generous, state-backed financing.
European and mid-eastern states in opposite mode. Cutting exports to replenish domestic defence stock due to #russia threat.
