    Yes, fuck Russia. However, are you trying to say that arms manufacturers aren’t profiting from both sides of the war? Do you even understand how shady the international arms trade is? They have an interest in this war continuing in perpetuity in the name of profit.

      You seem like you don’t understand arms sales at all. Countries buy arms in peacetime too. In fact, they have more money to buy arms in peacetime because their countries are not being exploded. Guns and ammo have limited lifetimes and need to be replaced relatively often. Also, lots of training happens during peacetime.

      Ongoing war is bad for business because it makes people interested in peace. Nothing promotes peace like seeing the aftermath of a battle.
