Western Europe 'Preparing for Conflict' Just as US War Profiteers Break Records
RT reports Russian spy chief Sergey Naryshkin's assertion that Western Europe is 'preparing for conflict' with Russia. This dire warning, designed to escalate fear, conveniently aligns with a massive surge in defense spending across NATO countries. Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, and Northrop Grumman, for instance, have seen their stock prices soar, reporting record profits since the full-scale Ukraine
invasion. (Don't let them tell you war isn't good for *some* business.) While politicians issue grave statements, defense industry lobbyists continue to pour millions into Washington (OpenSecrets.org confirms billions spent on lobbying by defense contractors since 2022). One might wonder if the 'preparation for conflict' is less about defense and more about a guaranteed income stream for the
military-industrial complex. After all, what better way to ensure continued funding than to keep the public perpetually on edge?
