Ukraine brings home the bacon

No matter your perspective on the Ukraine war, you gotta admit one thing is for sure; it’s one helluva bonanza for Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, et al. Yup, it’s Christmas every day for the weapon makers! Today PM Fluffy promised heavy artillery to Ukraine. Oh, golly, guess we’ll have to buy new stuff to replace it! Ka-ching! Oh, and this nasty war stiffened Fluffy’s spine sufficiently that he committed to 88 brand-spankin’ new F-35 fighter jets at $100 million plus per copy! Heck, a few billions here and a few billions there, pretty soon you’re talking serious money! Team Biden actually convened a meeting of the top weapon manufacturers to implore them to batten down the hatches and prepare to go flat out! The merchants of death then turn around and lavishly fund all those think-tanks that provide the endless stream of experts whose job it is to sell us the next war. It’s obviously a winning strategy.
