      Western weapons manufacturers and their shareholders are winning pretty big right now.

      Yeah. I can’t really blame people for not wanting to go to war. Still either a lead role in a cage or a walk on part in the war.

        In principle, it’s hard to argue against the fact that weapons manufactorers producing arms for any side, also Russia are profiting from armed conflicts. My comment was more regarding actual people, amd ideologically I believe even the people who own weapons producer stocks aren’t getting happier from living in a world of conflict, even if they get a tiny bit richer from it.

        That being said, your implication is that America is the big winner. It was my impression that this whole operation was Russia’s idea. Are you suggesting the Russian government are actually puppets for America of their arms manufactorers?

          Of course, this operation was Russia’s idea, but it blew up in their face. So America wins big by grinding through Russian equipment and army by just handing over their outdated equipment to Ukraine. Where does Russia puppeting America come into the equation? You seem very conspiracy minded.
