NATO Chief Demands Billions, Calls it 'Peacekeeping'
The story focuses on NATO's commitment to Ukraine, framing it as a prudent, cooperative effort. What it conveniently omits is the industrial complex benefitting from this 'support'. Take for example, Raytheon Technologies, a key player in U.S. defense, which reported Q3 2023 sales of $19 billion . How many of those 'shared costs' become shared profits for shareholders of such defense giants? One
might wonder: how many 'peace deals' are brokered when the proposed solution is always more weapons and more money for those who make them? We are frequently told this is about preventing escalation, but the only thing consistently escalating is the defense industry's bottom line. The cycle of 'aid' feeding conflict, feeding 'aid' again, appears to be a quite profitable closed loop for some.
