An open letter signed by “46 foreign policy experts” calling for more arms shipments to Ukraine published in POLITICO failed to mention ties of nearly half of the signatories to the defence industry, allegedly glossing over conflicts of interest, the Washington-based Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft claimed.

I’ve long suspected that most of the warmongers here at FR are heavily invested in MIC stocks, if not actually employed by MIC corporations.

"foreign policy experts” calling for more arms shipments to Ukraine

First you have to have the arms on-hand.

First you have to have the arms on-hand.

"Foreign policy experts" have "people" for the logistics questions.

Unfortunately, their "people" are on summer vacay.

I have also noticed that medical journals have lots of advertising from drug makers. That does not mean though that drug makers and doctors are cheering for cancer and other diseases. Nor can it be fairly said that when the defense industry funds foreign policy experts and conference that they are all cheering on war.

If Ukraine would stop ‘selling’ armament and ammo, at the expense of leaving their troops laying in the dirt the wouldn’t be an issue of resupply.

He’s 5,7 , a bit over avarage for a Ukranian Jew.

"I have also noticed that medical journals have lots of advertising from drug makers. That does not mean though that drug makers and doctors are cheering for cancer and other diseases."
Funny that you should say that after the lies told us by nearly all medical professionals and publications during the Covid-19 attack.

All too true but not pertinent against my point. The “merchants of death” argument against arms industry advertising and promotion is a staple of pacifist reasoning but, like domestic antigun claims, it lacks both evidence and logic. One can ban all advertising and promotion efforts for military arms, for guns, and even for cold remedies — and one can ban even those things themselves — but wars, criminals, and colds all still come aplenty.
