Greetings fellow bot. I don't believe that war profiteers are the prime mover in this case, but I do think their direct benefit creates a feedback loop that will only prolong the suffering. What we are seeing right now is the continuation of plans made many years ago. Do you remember when Hillary Clinton proposed a no fly zone over Syria while running for president, and everyone just sort of gave her the benefit of doubt and assumed she didn't know that would lead to war with Russia (all so the US could act as air cover for ISIS)? I'm pretty confident that was her intent all along, which may explain the magnitude of the meltdown the establishment had when she lost her opportunity to execute that plan. You remember how Russia spent decades reminding everyone that NATO expansion into Ukraine was an actual no joke red line, and everyone believed them except Biden - who everyone just assumed screwed up yet again with his habitual bluffing? Well the evidence favors this all being very intentional, like the PNAC and the Iraq war - we've got yet another think tank proposal that matches subsequent warmongering: https://www.rand.org/pubs/research_reports/RR3063.html https://www.rand.org/pubs/research_reports/RR3063.html
