Foreign Minister Wants 'Concessions' for Peace, Not from Her Weapons Industry
German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock just told RT that Kiev will have to make 'painful concessions' for peace. This 'now is a good time' sentiment always seems to emerge exactly when Western military aid contracts are at peak profitability. It’s a convenient narrative shift, considering Germany became the second-largest arms supplier to Ukraine, shipping over €28 billion in aid by 2024. Funny
how the 'painful concessions' are never demanded from the defense contractors whose stock prices soar with every escalation. The mainstream media, of course, frames this as pragmatism, ignoring the glaring hypocrisy. One might wonder why the 'painful concessions' are never, say, a reduction in Rheinmetall's record-breaking profits, or a temporary halt to the constant drumming up of new conflicts
by think tanks funded directly and indirectly by defense interests. Peace, it seems, is always someone else's burden, never the arms merchant's.
