True. We’ll call that silver lining number 2. The weakening of the US military industrial complex.

Lockheed Martin wishes they were responsible for the drones Ukraine is using.

Ukraine is innovating independently. After the war ends a silver lining for Ukraine is that they will have a proven robust weapons industry.

That silver lining is nothing in the face of the suffering caused by Russia but still. Sadly Russia’s attack on Ukraine proves such industries are still needed. (For now)
