Perhaps it is a russian ceasefire >_>
Before you know it Knit Tie is gonna be pumping tanks out of tractor factories.
Like this?
So THAT's why Guardian G.I. is so protective of Belarusian tractor factories. They form a cornerstone of Belarus's defence strategy.
Tractor factories in the USSR often produced normal tanks - Kharkov Tractor Factory was one of the main producers of Soviet MBTs. MTZ was always a purely civilian factory, if I'm not mistaken.
Also, fun fact: tractors are not the only things produced by Belarusian industry - for example, transport erector launchers for
this and
this are produced in Belarus by MZKT Volat. However, the scale and the extent of totalitarian oppression is even greater: we produce numerous kinds of
these,
these,
these,
these and
even these vehicles. The horror.
If those industries were privatised and bought off by foreign companies, the Western Euro-Nazi colonists could just steamroller over the country and force them to have freedom of speech and speak Belarusian and marry gay people, or whatever we're planning.
Similarly, in case of war, as soon as Putin gives the order, all these tractors will transform into
these machines, rush across the river Bug, like the Soviet hordes during their aggression against Germany and Ukraine in 1944-45, and oppress you for eternity. And after that your plan to dismember Russia without the consent of people living there and remove all Russian colonizers from the premises
like Chechen nationalists did before the first war will never be realized.
