I was talking to some folks who have just returned from Ukraine and they said something interesting.
They said that the Ukraine has a large faction that want to take up arms and fight the Russians. Right now, Ukraine army is composed of mostly 19 year olds with nothing but Kalashnikovs. The local populous refers to them with sardonic humor as "Meat for the Butcher". Ukraine has nothing to fight Russia with and arming them would lead to a slaughter if they went up against the Russian army.

Explain how you can manufacture cell-phones, laptops, medical equipment and Plasma TVs with only those resources.
