PS I know this is gonna get deleted by the mods so
Well, dear mod, kill yourself. You are a scum jingoist and you have blood on your hand.
Defend what? Quit sending people to their death, idiot. Opposing war doesn't mean taking the opposite side
My friend in kiev mostly cares about not being sent to the meatgrinder. Go fight in ukraine if you like it so much. They're hiring.
Don't be fooled. The americans dont care about russia or ukraine. They don't care how many people die there. They care about the drawing of maps and high level realpolitik like if the world was a game of civilization.
But mostly they care about one thing, and one thing only:
The rise in the share price of European companies in the sector was stronger than that of their North American counterparts (129% versus 31%), which Lliso attributes to the fact that in the United States the rise “started earlier and the European stock markets joined in later.” Despite this, the difference between the two groups remains vast: the market value of the seven American giants has reached €532 billion, while that of their European counterparts remains at €230.65 billion.
The profitability of the arms industry has not grown in step with its stock market value, since the latter is derived from the expectation of future profits and the materialization of contracts can be prolonged over a long period of time. “When the war in Ukraine began, we saw that the gap between the relative valuation of companies and their results widened: shares rose while turnover remained the same. Investors are not only looking for immediate profits, but also for medium-term profits,” explains the Accuracy partner.
The average EBITDA margin of the two groups (U.S. and European arms manufacturers) remained stable over this period, ranging from 14.3% at the end of 2021 to 12.7% at the beginning of 2024, although in Europe it increased by 2.1 points (from 11.7 to 13.8%), while in America it fell by 4.3 (from 16.5 to 12.2%), narrowing the gap between the two.
Yeah my wife's iraqii. Of course I hate the US. Were the bombs russian propaganda, scumbag?
"Tankies" (leftist in general, who tends to be against war due to internationalism) see Ukraine for what it is, that is a proxy war between two part of the oligarchy that only profits the rich:
MAGAs (fascists) support russia because of ideological proximity. The US couped the USSR and empowered fascists, about 30 years before the USSR coup'ed the US and empowered fascists. Tables are turning, but nothing change.
Liberals are whining because ending the war would be bad for the nasdaq. They are (as usual) trying to equate leftists with litteral nazis. Better hitler than the popular front. The issue with centrists is that they are very permeable to jingoist propaganda. They probably were the one thinking saddam had weapons of mass destruction.
Meanwhile my friend in Kiev calls ukraine north korea. You know, coz they cannot leave.
