Who Knew? War Hawks, Arms Dealers, and Bankers Profit From War
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, as reported by RT, identifies 'unwise politicians, weapons makers, and bankers' as the main agitators for the Ukraine conflict. This groundbreaking observation cuts through the typical narrative of 'democracy' versus 'autocracy' that dominates Western media. It's almost as if multi-billion dollar industries profit from sustained conflict, and the people
funding political campaigns aren't doing it out of pure altruism. While Western outlets dissect Orbán's 'authoritarian' tendencies or his 'closeness to Moscow,' they conveniently ignore the core of his remark. When corporate media frames intervention as humanitarian crusades, they sidestep the inconvenient fact that Lockheed Martin's stock surged 24% in 2022, or that Jamie Dimon's JPMorgan Chase
still manages Russian debt for a fee. The 'warmongers' aren't just an abstract concept; they're publicly traded companies and their well-compensated executives, lobbying for policies that guarantee their bottom line, year after year. One might almost suspect the '$800,000 in lobbying in Q3 2023' from the defense industry, as reported by OpenSecrets, correlates with continued military aid votes by
'unwise politicians.'
