Rodents incapacitate millions in eco-friendly military equipment in Ukraine: the unforeseen problem https://t.co/8JaPBQ4Mek

Weaponry systems in Ukraine, many of which were supplied by European countries, have been rendered unworkable, not due to Russian interference, but because of damage caused by mice and other rodents. Seemingly, these creatures have developed a preference for cable insulation made of corn fiber over synthetic materials. This predilection leads to malfunctioning electrical installations, rendering the expensive equipment essentially worthless, and requiring rapid overhauling.

Several European countries have supplied a wide range of weapon systems. However, the dilemma of ensuring electrical insulation durability has become a sticking point for newer equipment. This issue affects a multitude of nations where ESG (Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance) guidelines are making their way into the arms industry.Something will have to give. Either tear out the eco-friendly wiring, or consider all those lovely weapon systems to be expendable.
Presumably both sides will dispense with the environmental justice stuff and get on with the business of killing their fellow man.

Lololololololol!!!
Now that I've had a night to think it over, I wonder if promoting ESG in the arms industry might not, in fact, be the more important goal here. What kind of a world would it be for Greta Thunberg to inherit if Ukraine defeated Russia only to find it had spoiled the environment for Europe's rat population?
Our furry fellow mammals deserve the yummiest wire insulation we can afford.
Disneyland wars Yes Yes Yes!
