Ukraine - What a profitable war for the Americans

 As NATO sends more weapons to Ukraine, obsolete weapons I would say, it benefits the USA's Military Industrial Complex. The USA already said so, claiming that all the aid given to Ukraine is coming back to the USA. That relates to new weapon sales of course, replacing old obsolete weapons in NATO, some of which were weapons left behind in those breakaway satellite states of the former USSR.

The sanctioning of energy from Russia already benefited the USA tremendously. But it is causing misery for the EU. German Industries are moving out because of expensive energy cost. Some are moving to the USA to take advantage of the subsidies trotted out by the USA, but some have chosen to move to China, with all the engineers and STEM graduates ready and available, with the supply chains already built up, and most importantly, the market that is needed.

That is why they need to expand the war in Ukraine, to keep it alive. And also supporting the Middle East war, even trying to escalate it. But that is causing problems that they USA, Israel and the West had not foreseen. The Houthis are disrupting shipping around the Gulf region and targeting ships from Israel in particular. This is not going away any time soon. This is the Houthis front yard, and they will stay around indefinitely.

They USA keeps prodding China to take the bait, using the Philippines as proxy to antagonize China, besides using Taiwan to keep tensions alive around the Taiwan Straits. China just has to keep its patience, knowing the fall of the USA is gaining momentum as de-dollarization and decoupling gathers steam.

The G7 bloc has already fallen behind the BRICS countries in terms of GDP and is falling further behind with new countries joining the BRICS bloc. The USA and other G7 countries can continue to deny the inevitable and brush aside BRICS de-dollarization program as immaterial, thinking that SWIFT and the US$ hegemony will be around forever. It is not working by just denying the reality.

  1. Profitable for the USA, but not for its allies in Europe. That is the price to pay for being a friend of the USA. Looking after the interest of the USA is more important than looking after the citizens of countries in Europe.

    For the USA, what are friends for if not to exploit.

  2. They wanted Zelensky here to beg for more alms. He uses every platform to do his begging stunt and they obliged.

    One day he will be invited to speak in Singapore's Parliament as well, carrying his begging bowl, LOL. If it is so demanded by his handlers.
