We already knew that the ailing American budget needed the war in Ukraine like a morsel of bread. That's why they did everything to make it explode.
The "limited operation" did not start with the Russians entering Ukraine without any reason - many people forget to mention this. The Russians were put in a position where they had no choice but to invade.
A Swiss military expert who worked for NATO said that with American help, the Ukrainians were already preparing to retake the Crimean peninsula months before the war broke out.
According to him, this was the reason why the invasion started in the former Russian territories north-northeast of Crimea.
The period that has passed since then has made it clear that the the deep state, , has worked. The companies investing in shale gas were able to start filling tanks and then transporting LNG gas, which previously could only be extracted at a loss, to Asia and Europe, mainly because they previously used "unknown means" to convince the decision-makers in Brussels to skyrocket the price of gas on the world market with a series of sanctions and to ban the Russian gas imports.
Seed producers and pesticide sellers also did well, especially after the liberalization of land purchases in Ukraine, so that American companies bought up - or rented out for many decades - a third of the prime Ukrainian farmland for a pittance. And if America continues the war by providing modern weapons and money to the Ukrainian leadership, Ukrainian land will be worth even less, so you can get it even cheaper. Biden has allocated more than $65 billion in military and economic aid to Ukraine since the beginning of the conflict.
Finally, we already knew that the gun lobby did very well with the Ukrainian war, but not to what extent.
Yahoo News has now provided numbers. Since the beginning of the Russian military offensive, EU countries have applied for the purchase of no less than 230 billion dollars worth of new weapons. Citing data from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), the article notes that in the previous five years, US-made weapons accounted for 95 percent of the Netherlands' arms purchases. In the case of Norway, the ratio was 83 percent, in the case of the United Kingdom 77 percent, and in the case of Italy 72 percent.
"This is certainly the largest increase in defense spending in Europe since the end of the Cold War"
– Ian Bond, director of the Center For European Reform, told Yahoo.
The American newspapers are now reporting that the USA has already handed over "all its weapons" to the Ukrainians, in any case the five largest arms manufacturers, which have enormous "lobbying power" (see: bribery of legislators), are Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, General Among Dynamics, the value of Lockheed Martin's papers increased by 12 percent, and Northrop Grumman's by 20 percent.
And who are the main shareholders of these mega-companies that almost always lay golden eggs? First of all, those who are at the top of the financial pyramid, and who have now profited from their investments more horribly than anyone else from the war in Ukraine.
That is why, if we ask ourselves the question: if the Republicans win the mid-term elections, will they stop supporting Ukraine for the sake of peace, we unfortunately have to answer that there is very little chance of this happening.
In addition, it would also harm the financial interests of politicians, be they Democrats or Republicans, and it keeps happening.
So now we can only hope for a miracle.
