Profiting off war in Ukraine

Only 1 country stands to profit from the war in invasion of Ukraine.
That would be Russia.
Although this would only be so if Putin wins.
And only if territory gained is worth the lives & money spent.
I don't agree. I think the U.S. has benefited and will continue to benefit (for a little while at least) from this (whatever you want to call it.) The U.S. benefits from the weakening Russia economically and militarily, and from strengthening its own military alliances.

It's unreasonable to call assistance to an invaded country
having the benefit of weakening the aggressor, & thereby
enhancing the security of other countries "profit".
The accusation is about waging war to gain filthy lucre.

I do believe many if those whi expect Ukraine to surrender don't understand Putin is an authorian tyrant. Here we can tell the President to **** off. Putin doesn't allow that or any sort of viable compitition. He rules with an iron first, poverty is high and no one is free.

Yes...I mean...
the elitist cabal of warmongers cannot pass for philanthropists.

They are simply not credible. :)

It is only recognizing reality. Recognizing reality is never "unreasonable".

Don't misunderstand what I am saying. I am not saying that the benefit to the U.S. justifies its actions. Nor am I saying the actions of the U.S. should be condemned just because the U.S. benefits from them. If I was saying that I would be saying something unreasonable.

If only that were what you were doing.

You state what you're not saying here.
I'll go with what you did say.

We all know that the Pope is the man behind the curtain.
He orchestrates all the wars.
(No one's hat is bigger or more lavish.)
With Italy's help, of course.
I have already had my reward.
From God.
Because my God will send all these banking rats to Hell where they will be tormented for eternity.
Billions of years.
That's my reward. :)

Okaly dokaly. Here, I will say it again just to make it convenient for you.

It is true, you might not like the fact, but it is still a true.

Christianity....the religion of tolerance, kindness, & not judging others.
Ok...let's say that a certain banking group paid certain politicians to wage a useless war, so they can gain billions from the sale of warfare.

Shall I be tolerant, kind and non-judgmental?
Telling them: don't worry dears. Keep fueling this war... so many deaths and so many lives destroyed.

100% of all Britains wanted the second world war to end...... Churchill wanted the war to end.......... just didn't want to lose our freedom, I guess.
So I reckon that 100% of Ukrainians would like the war to end......... with their freedom!
Not much freedom in a grave 6 feet under.

Russia has the resources to keep this going for several more years.
