Re: Who gain's from War ?

I'm right here, Argument with my mate about the current invasion by Russia in Ukraine.
He just told me countries make money from war, could it be the journalist alone ? Government who please, I'm juvenile at this.

Not journalists but countries who are manufacturing arms and weapons of destruction, a war in this era is measured by the number of rockets, tanks, and missiles that a country-owned so they amassed a lot of arms, to protect themselves and occupied one's country, just like what's happening to Russia and Ukraine, rich countries are allocating funds to create these weapons and also make profit from selling them.

That's why the USA is trying to prolong the war. Germany recently announced that they budget $113 Billion for the modernization of their military and every year from 2022 they are going to spend 2% of their total budget on the military. Now other EU countries like Poland, Georgia, Hungary, Romania will also expand their military budget and USA will be the biggest arms supplier here.

Precisely. So what do they do? Put more wood on the fire. I don't think Putin will just stop on this. He want countries near him to be on his side and not to those who are far away from them. It's geopolitics because of the fear that US military can get near him when Ukraine becomes their ally or stronger than that. Then, what's next? I understand what Putin is trying to say here but the attacks should stop because it just deepens the problem and even if he put Ukraine to ashes there will be never going back from had been done. There must be another way than war.
