Dang WSJ and their dang pay walls!

Regarding the cited tonnage (which would barely supply 1 month of artillery propellant charges) - that alone works out to about 7 million pounds...that should have been Varget and H4895.

Dang it.

Who knows if that article is accurate coming from the wall street with an agenda news.

I would believe that if the Russia needed nitrocellulose China would sell them all they
required.

Hard to believe we are selling nitro cellulose to Russia and the only people that know about it are a few newspaper writers. Really

I've never seen anything to indicate the WSJ is anything other than pretty spot on with their info and Turkey being a member of NATO has shown more than a few times they play both sides for their own gain. It's an interesting read and completely plausible.

The WSJ does some very good in depth investigations. Unlike some other news outlets.
I start my day with it and a cup of coffee.

This happened under the watchful eye of the US state dept???? They realigned the planets to get Britney Griner back, Probably no one there that even knows what Nitrocellulose is. DEI at it's finest.

You think this white house would do anything about it? They're too busy trying to help pay for Iran's nuclear weapons program.

Wars make whores, anything to make a buck. Someone in DC is getting a kickback.

And you are surprised why? Prior to December 7, 1941 the U.S. sold thousands of metric tons of steel and other materials to Germany and, most especially, Japan while manufacturers/business men cried when Roosevelt tried to slow trade with both of them down to get more leverage in peace negotiations. A lot of that material we got back...with interest...in the form of bombs and other weaponry turned on us and our allies. The almighty buck at its best...and it is worshiped by BOTH sides of the aisle

I read that 4 countries including the US and Germany were sending cotton to Turkey (not nitro Cellulose. Turkey was turning it into nitro cellulose and sending it to Russian. Totally unverified? I would think they grow plenty of cotton in the middle East.

We dont know for sure whats happening thats for sure— i was just the messenger letting people know about the article.

Hmmm. Hard to believe Russia can’t make their own nitro. Must be a really good price for them to import.
