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.

First and foremost, of course, the defense industry benefits, as do the energy and oil industries, as well as the supply industry (e.g. food, but also medicines). Industries that serve entertainment or travel, for example, will lose . Certainly, the media will also win, since people simply consume more news and thus, of course, more advertising can be sold. From a war there are always those who profit and those who lose.

I am not sure if the energy companies really benefit from this war? I mean not the Russian ones for sure .They have been providing energy to west so far, and that means they are not going to be able to do the same thing nowadays because of the situation. I am not saying that it should not be really working for the benefit of European energy companies, maybe they will be charging a lot more and that could be understandable.

At the end of the day, we are talking about something that is not clear. Media and Defense industry definitely benefits. For example, Ukraine has been paying tens of millions of dollars to Turkey just for some drones, and that's a very profitable business for them. One side kills their enemy and defends their land, the other makes money from their products. All in all aside from energy, I do agree with the other two that you mentioned.
