Central banks and a few other money managers can live off of the churn of money and stay ahead while everyone else slowly goes bust.
So there is one bunch.
Anyone who owns stock in Raytheon?
Plenty of people lining their pockets and the Military Industrial Complex.
Prolonged = Effective
Not us.
Hunter and Joe
Who benefits from us helping Ukraine? We do
And they are not asking us to fight and die for them. They are willing to fight a super-power for their homeland. They just need weapons...
Purpose is to wear down the Russian military.
Any country with nukes will not be invaded,
but adventurism is to be stopped in the next war.
keep in mind most people are fighting the last war not the next one. Putin is still fighting WW II and it didn’t work.
America did the same in Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq.
Y’all need to learn.
I’m not prescient, but I’d bet on
4GW and technology.
10% to the big guy .....so there’s that
The money launderers, and the Biden Crime Family. The recent revelation that Hunter sent an email to an American aluminum company, promising information on Russian oligarchs makes me wonder what service/classified information did he provide Elena Baturina, widow of former Moscow Mayor Yury Luzhkov, for the $3.5 million she wired him in early 2014?
1) Putin favors a long war. Putin wants a quick victory. Regardless of who wins, a long war damages the Russian economy and creates instability in the Russian regime.
2) Putin's goals are limited to keeping Ukraine out of NATO. Putin's goal are more extensive than that. He wants, as a minimum, to turn Ukraine into a vassal state of Russia, and, at a maximum, to annex Ukraine into Russia to fulfill his goal of reuniting all of the Russian people (which he has stated includes the Ukrainians). Putin will never willingly accept a truly neutral and independent Ukraine that outside of Russia's "sphere of privileged influence."
Just wait, when it ends, Ukraine will expect us to finance their reconstruction, and if Pedo Joe is in charge, we will!
But Hey, "The Big Guy" and Hunter will get BIG kickbacks!
“an overly powerful military-industrial complex”
Nailed it.
Deep States worldwide, including ours.
There’s a lot of misinformation and more than a bit of hysteria concerning the cost of US transfers to Ukraine. The “cost” is the original equipment purchase price. Almost everything the US has sent so far, with a few exceptions has been equipment that was in storage and scheduled (Or soon to be scheduled) for decommissioning. For example, the Stinger missile has not been purchased in over twenty years. It had been updated periodically, as weapons in that particular not-in-use but not yet taken out of the inventory frequently are. Vehicles like the M113 or Bradly likewise were mothballed and would have been decommissioned at great expense. Instead, they were “given” (I think they actually used the Lend/Lease act meaning they will be billed to Ukraine at a later date.) In any case most of the items I’m aware of were scheduled for an expensive decommissioning or demilitarization process. Instead, they will be shipped off to Ukraine and the press will tout the fantastic numbers which reflect the original purchase price. Not, the present value.
I almost care less about who’s benefiting. Because I know who’s suffering. That would be you and me, brother. And why there’s not mass National outrage about the whole thing is of great concern.
Most of the money we are spending “on Ukraine” is spent in the US. There is no open checkbook. Stopping the Russian-Iranian-Chinese alliance is in our interest
