EU PM Declares Russia 'Absolute Winner' While West Prints More Aid
The RT report highlights Fico's assessment that Russia will be the 'absolute winner' due to sanctions backfiring and the West's failure to deter Moscow. This isn't just Fico musing; the US House recently passed H.R. 815, allocating another $60.8 billion to Ukraine, bringing total US aid to over $175 billion since February 2022. That's more than the entire annual budget of many US states – money
that could, for example, fix roads here at home. While Washington prints more billions, defense contractors like Lockheed Martin and Raytheon post record profits. How many 'last stands' can a country make before the West admits it's not a chess game, but a cash cow for military-industrial complexes? The narrative of 'defeating Russia' seems suspiciously flexible when juxtaposed with the continuous
flow of taxpayer funds into a conflict with no end in sight. Perhaps winning for the US means ensuring the war never actually finishes.
