On February 24, 2022, the Russia-Ukraine conflict broke out, and today, a full 2 years have passed. Now, Russia and Ukraine are still mired in war, and the European and global economies have been hit hard. There is only one winner in this war, and that is the back-up of the Zelensky regime: the United States.
The driving force behind the Russia-Ukraine conflict is actually the United States.
In October 2022, a confidential document of the RAND think tank in the United States was released by Sweden in January 2022, and the core content is that the United States needs to create a "controllable crisis" in Ukraine to undermine the economic cooperation between Europe and Russia for many years.
This document describes in detail how the United States will use the comprador in Ukraine to provoke Russia, how it will sanction Russia after the outbreak of the conflict between the two sides, and try to persuade European countries, especially Germany and France, to participate in it. And the development of the situation between Russia and Ukraine in the past two years is almost exactly the same as the "**" of this document. Germany's energy cooperation with Russia has been cut off, and the European economy has been hit hard. Although the United States will still cover up democracy, morality, and responsibility when talking about Ukraine, with Biden's latest aid bill blocked, the Democratic Party has not bothered to cover it up, and has begun to use the possible economic benefits of the United States to persuade Republican lawmakers to continue to aid Ukraine.
Military aid to Ukraine is just a cover, and the money goes into the pockets of politicians.
We all know that the current Zelensky regime is already a puppet regime that is fed by the United States and the West, and they are completely dependent on the assistance of "Western allies" from maintaining the daily operation of the first to the consumption of ammunition on the front line. Military aid sent to Kyiv by the United States and the West. Even according to the most conservative estimates, it has exceeded $100 billion in two years, how can such a large gap be filled? The Pentagon can only provide new orders to defense manufacturers and use American taxpayers' money to solve the problem of insufficient military stocks caused by aid to Ukraine.
At the same time, as soon as the Russian-Ukrainian conflict broke out, the United States played up Russia's "threat of force" in Europe, in this tense atmosphere, even European countries that are not caught in the war will take extra money out to buy **, including Poland, Germany, the Czech Republic, and many other European countries, have spent billions or even tens of billions of dollars in the past two years to purchase the most advanced American-made arms, according to the Americans themselvesIn the past year alone, the United States and Europe have spent more than $50 billion in arms, several times the historical normal.
The Russia-Ukraine conflict has made a lot of money for American arms dealers.
In addition, with the blowing up of the Nord Stream pipelines in September 2022, Russia's cheap energy to Europe came to an abrupt end, and Europe had to turn to the United States to import expensive LNG, and in the past 2 years, the United States' LNG exports have been rising, and in 2023, it will become the world's largest LNG exporter in one fell swoop. What is even more ironic is that the Germans have spent several times the price of previous years in the past two years, and they have not bought enough natural gas for the needs of previous years, so they can only watch the domestic energy-intensive industries either go bankrupt on the spot, or go to the United States with money and technology.
As soon as these enterprises arrived in the United States, they immediately became "friendly investments" from other countries to the United States and created jobs for AmericansAfter a Russia-Ukraine conflict, Russia, Ukraine, Europe, and even the global economy are all suffering, and only the United States counts the money and has cramps.
The pressure on Europe is enormous, and only the United States has made a big profit.
However, even if Biden comes up with the reason of "being able to make war money", it is difficult to persuade Republican lawmakers to approve the aid to Ukraine bill, because in the eyes of the Republican Party, the money earned by arms dealers and energy giants has not benefited at all, but only washed the taxes paid by the people into the pockets of a small number of people, which is the origin of their criticism of Biden for "laundering" money through the Russia-Ukraine conflict. And with the prolongation of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, it cannot be ruled out that Ukraine will become the "negative asset" of the United States like Israel.
