2 girls are fighting, flags are placed on them ukraine and russia respectively, while a group of bystanders in a backdrop watch and record

a bystander is explicitly amused, and enjoying himself; dabbing a pipe, defense corporation logos are posted him, Raytheon technologies and Lockheed martin

    It’s a war for oil. NATO wants to get off of Russian oil, that’s bad business for Russia.

    But you’re kind of distracting from the point. Regardless of who you think is in the right or wrong, defense contractors are making big money. This isn’t unlike any past war. The rich profit while the working class dies.

      Interesting how these folks will insist that the newest war is “unlike any other” and they will admit that wars fought 20-30 years ago or longer were just fought over resources, but this time, it is totally different and this is absolutely a moral war that the good wholesome chungus freedom brigade is fighting for freedom!

      I look forward to these people in 10-20 years admitting that this war’s whole purpose was profit as they salivate at the “morality” of the current conflict their leadership has shoved down their throats.

        When your morals are dictated by clout, that’s what happens.
