German defense giant Rheinmetall may take over VW factory to make tanks
Rheinmetall is considering acquiring one of Volkswagen's soon-to-be idle plants, part of a broader rearmament in Europe.
Who would have thought it was the yanks drinking the fascist koolaid this time around.
Nobody should be surprised. The Nazi's ideas of eugenics were born in America. In 1939 the second-largest Nazi party was in America. A lot of Americans at the time thought we should be fighting for the other side.
I think this is one of those “disappointed but not surprised” situations for many of us.
I’m an American, but given the last decade, that’s precisely how I feel. Infuriating to watch my country sleepwalk into fascism.
There was a Nazi rally at Madison Square Gardens. The US is very nationalistic (How many countries force their children to pledge alliance to the flag daily?) and that can easily become a problem.
And Israel doing the genocide.
The link in the article to Rheinmetall's history page is particularly interesting. They tell it straight like it was.
As a German defence company, we feel a special responsibility to contribute to the culture of remembrance and commemoration in the context of the Second World War. We have thoroughly examined and documented our role and our transgressions during the Nazi era.

History never repeats, but it rhymes.
Well, that's only fair. They get to be on in the Allies this time around. We (the US) are going to have to work with ... wait, Italy already dumped us. So, Japan? Can we bring back Imperial Japan for our side?
The denizens of Muskyland will be pointing and shouting about Nazi's if VW plants start making armaments.
Electric tanks? Hybrids maybe?
