@Veza85UE@eupolicy.social The problem is that I haven't seen the complete interview yet, but only secondary reporting and singular quoted sentences.
My theory (unsure) is that he wanted to point out that a certain point you need to go from artisanal products to a fully industrialized production.
That would be a correct point, but something the Ukraine is also aware of.
I do not understand how a CEO can allow such a sentence (as quoted) to escape his mouth. Even if it would be in a context as above, you should have enough experience with the press not to say it.

@masek@infosec.exchange The problem isn't that he said it. The problem, like with his colleagues from the auto sector is that he THINKS it. https://timesofmalta.com/article/long-read-how-orban-played-germany-europes-great-power.922312 Full article here. Not only is it not a sentence in isolation, he doubles down. Rheinmetall PR has been working all weekend to apologise for him, so no, it's not an out of context quote, tho the sexism in the quote itself is disqualifying enough, no context needed. Not as a morality play, woker companies get better results. https://www.theatlantic.com/national-security/2026/03/who-needs-tanks-age-drones/686540/
