    Yes, we know that Russia invaded Ukraine because of a mentally ill game by a dude greedy for wealth and power. And now we unfortunately are put in the position of having to stop his quest for wealth and power lest it consume the whole of Europe. Or do you think that the guy hungry for wealth and power will stop pursuing those things because of diplomacy?

        If the West wants war so bad, why are Western countries dithering so hard about giving equipment to Ukraine? Shouldn’t that be profitable for them? Shouldn’t the US congress approve the aid to Ukraine in a heartbeat if all they want is to enrich themselves if war is so profitable?

        Why is it okay for Russia to profit from war, but not for people trying to stop Russia from expanding their war profiteering? Does every European country need to become a target for Russian war profiteering?

        Who was it that attacked Ukraine? Regardless of any past ambitions, even if the west “wants war”, would there be any war in Europe at the present moment if Russia had not invaded Ukraine?

          They aren’t, did you read the article i posted that says the west has been helping ukraine for a decade already? Did you miss the part where ukraine is getting f-16, already got abrams, german tanks, thousand of javelins, illegal cluster munitions, drones and all the rest? Did you ever bothered checking the sky traffic near ukraine for the past 2 years?

          Why is it okay for Russia to profit from war?

          Ask that to your government who is in business partnership with china and other countries selling weapons to russia.

          would there be any war in Europe at the present moment if Russia had not invaded Ukraine?

          There are plenty of wars around the globe you don’t hear about in the media
