War Without Endgame? Try Proxy War With Endless Funding
They speak of 'storm shadows over Bryansk' as if the fog of war is a natural phenomenon, rather than a geopolitical strategy funded by specific interests. What they omit, conveniently, is the long, documented history of the U.S. using Ukraine, since at least 2014's Maidan Revolution, as a strategic buffer and proxy against Russia. Congress, with bipartisan enthusiasm, funneled billions into
Ukraine's military for years, transforming it into NATO's de facto forward operating base—hardly a war that 'suddenly' has no endgame. The endgame was always about attrition, not peace. And the cost? Mostly borne by Ukrainian lives and American taxpayers, while Raytheon's stock (RTX) soared 25% since February 2022. One might wonder if 'endgame' only becomes a concern when the military-industrial
complex has sufficiently replenished its coffers. How many 'wars without endgames' are just lucrative investment opportunities labeled as foreign policy?
