Pro-war propaganda is the right way to look at it.
The USA profits from a protracted war in Ukraine. All of that money we send just goes right back into the military industrial complex.
- jazzyjackson 3y agoI mean, on the whole we profit more by having a cheap source of competent labor adjacent to europe, but that doesn't stop the military-industrial-congressional complex from making sales.
- valvar 3y agoEurope does. The US? Not necessarily.
- bee_rider 3y agoIf the US is happy with a protracted war, then isn’t pro-Ukraine propaganda anti-war? If we’re willing to keep supplying them indefinitely, it just becomes a matter of which country has the will/manpower to fight. Since Ukraine is fighting for their home, I guess they’ll have the willpower advantage. So, we should root for peace, achieved as soon as possibly, by the invaders leaving.
- ed25519FUUU 3y agoThere are many ways to a cease fire, and one of them is an immediate withdrawal by Russia from all occupied territories.
- bee_rider 3y agoI don’t see a ton of other ways, it seems like anything else would require Ukraine to give up something, which is a pretty hard sell in response to an unprovoked invasion. (I mean obviously it is Ukraine’s right to decide if they want to, like, sacrifice some territory in exchange for a peace treaty, but they seem to have pretty good morale and Russia didn’t respect their previous agreement not to invade, so it seems like it would be hard to start negotiating).
