What do you mean by US prolonging the Ukraine war ? Republican House under the authority of Trump is blocking help to Ukraine.
Are you wishing Putin win the war and then invade all his neighbours ?
Just to add a bit. There was an international agreement many decades ago for NATO to stay away from neighboring Russia countries, slowly these countries became NATO members and Putin went to international court to fight these and lost. Now if all the sudden Russia put missile bases in Canada and Mexico do you think the US would retaliate. The US loves a war ( as long as it is not on their soil ) it makes money.
How is war profitable for the US?
In almost every aspect of the war, there is a private contractor available for hire. With the amount of money that is provided by Congress, there is no doubt that there is opportunity for wartime profiteering by companies. Defense contractors' stocks have risen substantially since the beginning of war.
Who makes the most money from war?
According to the Department of Defense (DOD), the top U.S. military contractors in 2022 include Lockheed Martin Corporation, Raytheon Technologies Corporation and General Dynamics Corporation. Together, those companies account for $297.68 billion in market capitalization.Dec 15, 2023
Pretty sure some of this is funneled back to certain government officials.
