I want to ask are there beneficiaries to this war and in what ways are they benefiting from it.

Quote
A war profiteer is any person or organization that derives unreasonable profit from warfare or by selling weapons and other goods to parties at war.

Now do some digging and check who is "the best weapon seller" and how much they earn... these guys are far from conflict (read yachts, private islands...) but they earn a lot by selling guns all over the world.

Since I live in Serbia I have some direct experience with wars. In war times there is still a market, a dark one mostly, and prices go high because the supply is disturbed. There are many fair and unfair players... and you can't believe how much money the big players are making, the ones who have trucks and plains and government approval for their illegal business.
And of course, there are those with a disturbed moral compass. Who kills and cleans houses one after another... And when the war is over, what do you think all these people do? Assuming, of course, that they survived... These guys usually have a criminal history, and after the war ends they just continue on the same path. In Serbia, many serious crimes were committed by ex-soldiers.

Nothing good can come from wars, we all know that but we still have so many wars around. Countries have bigger and bigger armies with more and more weapons... and they say "we need it for protection"! What a joke...Smiley

...Imagine the resources and infrastructures destroy during the Russia and Ukrinre war recently.

Don't you worry! New companies will arise, and everything will be rebuilt... Who owns those companies and how they earned their "first million" is not so important. How they got big contracts is also shady, but is it really matter? The truth is sad, it's all I can say... but the world keeps sping around and we don't have any other choices than to continue to live, the best we can.
