Bood Money.

          How much money and resources are the Western imperialists prepared to pour into Ukraine to keep the bloodshed going, in the hope that it will bankrupt Russia? To them the human cost is of no consequence.
          It appears to be limitless as billions are paid into the coffers of the arms industry with more sophisticated and deadly weapons making their way to Ukrainian soil. One estimate puts America as paying out on average, between Feb. 25, 2022 and Aug. 19 2022 approximately $228 million per day. This war in Ukraine is between tow imperialist camps, the American and its vassals imperialist camp and the Russian imperial camp. It just so happens that the bloodshed is taking place on Ukrainian soil and it is Ukrainian blood that is being shed.
          The result to you and I is of course a savage attack on our living standards, which is being milked by the super corporate world. They never miss an opportunity to turn a crisis into a goose that lays the golden egg, for them. 

 

QUOTE:

          Researcher Stephen Semler documented the 21 distinct military aid packages that the Joe Biden administration approved for Ukraine in the year between August 2021 and August 2022, at a total of $40.13 billion.
          Two of those 21 pledges were approved before Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022. Excluding these two presidential drawdowns from August and December 2021, which are worth $260 million combined, the Biden administration passed $39.87 billion for military aid in Ukraine between February 25, 2022 (the day after the Russian invasion) and August 19, 2022.
         This $39.87 billion in pledged military aid divided by the 175 days between February 25, 2022 and August 19, 2022 comes out to an average of approximately $228 million per day.
          This spending does not include the billions more that the US government has pledged in economic aid to Ukraine. It likewise excludes the tens of billions of dollars of military aid that European countries have approved for Ukraine.

        My doesn't America do very well out of this Ukrainian affair? Europe usually buys its gas from Russia, that's a lot of gas, now because America has bullied the world into sanctions on Russia, for humanitarian reasons, of course, the EU has signed a contract to buy gas from America. A nice little earner for corporate America. Now I know gas is not the greenest of fuels, but if you are going to use gas, which do you think is the most environmentally friendly method? To pipe the gas through a pipe system from source to users, or to load it and send it in large specially built ships thousands of miles across the Atlantic, to be unloaded at special created terminals in Europe? To hell with the environment when it comes to corporate America. So you see there are lots of advantages to be grasp from this war as in all wars. The military industrial complex loves wars and that's big bucks for the corporate pariahs. Every bullet, shell, missile that is fired will be replaced, but every school, apartment block, or hospital, destroyed by these instruments, will not necessarily be replaced. You can rest assured that this war, like all wars, will be milked for all its worth by the corporate world. Of course the one thing that can't be replaced is the millions of ordinary individuals that are killed in these wars to enhance the rich and powerful, but that matters not to the profit guzzling corporate world. War is a corporate tool for enhancing growth, we must destroy both, the corporate world and war..
