The US is spending money to destroy the Russian military and fuck over the European economy.
The resources thrown at Ukraine are minuscule in terms of US budgets or the US industrial base. And yet those resources are letting Ukraine eat through the Russian military at a rate that is both unsustainable (for Russia) and basically impossible to replace.
In purely military terms, the US has gained one of the greatest deals in recorded history. We throw a miniscule amount of money at someone else and let them spend their lives to destroy the closest thing that the US has to a strategic military competitor.
And then there is the economic impact. The war is fucking over raw materials exports to both Europe and China, hard. It's also being highly disruptive to global agriculture and oil supplies. The nation best positioned to gain from those disruptions is the US.
BASF is physically relocating its production infrastructure to the US. Airbus is the largest user of Aluminum and Titanium from the disrupted area. European fertilizer is sourced from the battlespace.
Economically? The US is making money from the war in Ukraine.
Yeah, except it is not working nowhere near as well as you think and some parts of Europe are starting to wake up.
You have poured hundreds of billions into Ukraine for what exaclty?
A few thousand war dead, some tanks getting blown up, and you think the Russians can't rebuild with the help of China and their other allies?
Pfft.

Putin's approval rating actually went up.
Your big play here was to try and cause regime change in Russia with this ware and these sanctions, you failed.
As to depleting the Russian military, well, I am still waiting for them to actually run out of shells and missiles, looks like the opposite is happening and the RAND corporation and Kissinger both see a prolonged war
as detrimental to US interests.
Who will work for BASF?
Your army of *studies graduates?
No, not everything will move there, and it will not happen overnight, so I am pretty sure that China and India will get a nice slice of the pie since they have cheap energy and a large, well educated work force as well, and they are increasingly the main consumers of stuff like industrial chemicals.
And then we get to the treadmill that is shale extraction, which is slowing down, both because your oil and gas companies elect to buy back stock and return money to shareholders because of Brandon and the Democrats' retarded policies.
Meanwhile, you have damaged the entire western financial system's credibility with the SWIFT fiasco and the freeze and seizure of sovereign Russian central bank assets to the point where you got the Saudis to cut oil output and start pricing oil in RMB and other currencies.
Oh, and the sanctions and the fertilizer production supply chain problems, well, they are global!
Which means starvation in parts of the world.
And nothing focuses the mind better than an empty stomach.
Fuck the USA's deep state and fuck every single cheerleader for this war, they all deserve to rot in a GULAG.
And do you think that the damage to Europe and the rest of the world won't hit your companies and profit margins?
Seriously, the USA is run by fucking retards.
