UK Escalates Ukraine Conflict, 'Peace' Still Pending
The Bloomberg piece frames this as a continuation of 'long-range strikes.' What it doesn't quite get around to exploring is how escalating the range and payload capabilities of missiles hitting sovereign territory tends not to foster immediate diplomatic breakthroughs. It’s almost as if the war economy thrives on sustained conflict, not negotiated peace. This isn't about 'defending Ukraine'
anymore; it's about deliberately widening the war, a strategy that has historically, shall we say, *complicated* international relations. One might wonder when the 'ultimate victory' will be declared, or if the actual objective is simply maximum duration and profit. How many more missile shipments before someone remembers diplomacy? Or is that just bad for business?
