Leasing unused facilites to Rhinemetal (an actual tank manufacturer) barely qualifies as getting into the arms industry. Opportunistic? Greedy? Amoral? Yes, yes, and yes.
VW is still the conglomerate that designed a cheat into its TDI diesel motors in order to boost sales. Dishonest? Abso-fucking-lutly. But an arms manufacturer? Does Mike Waltz understands opsec?
Best call VW "arms adjacent wannabees".
Read enough to note the bias.
