It's not artificial. It's always been a trait of this animal species to get weapons, go kill the men in the other tribe, ra*e the women.

Read about massacres by (some not all!) Russian soldiers, or about what Hamas did. Artificial? No, it's how things have always been.

Combined with Machiavellian dictators, always hungry for more power (including m2 land) and you should see that what Putin and his soldiers do is (unfortunately) pretty natural and common across the ages.

Seems to me you've bought a bunch of conspiracy theories and possibly Putin's manipulation when you apparently think the reasons lite elsewhere.

Companies make money from war, but don't confuse that for that being the underlying reasons for wars.

Not taking my side with Russia or Hamas on this, by saying that US is actually "aggressor here".

But the militaries in every country, probably won't throw away blood money, I think it matches pretty well with the topic of

"Institutions try to preserve the problem to which they are the solution"

What does this mean: "militaries in every country, probably won't throw away blood money"?

You're believing that none of the countries in Europe actually care about the people in Ukraine, and it's all about the weapon industry wants to sell weapons? (Or I don't understand what you're writing)

Seems you're overlooking that Putin is attacking Ukraine, and that Ukraine defends itself.

You're saying that helping a country _defend_ itself is aggression.

That's like saying [a company that provides weapons to police who stops an active shooter], is an aggressor. -- It's not the right time to say that, when it's about _defending oneself_.

Had the US been exporting weapons to _Putin_, what you wrote would make sense.

In some cases, the US does such things (and many other countries, incl Russia and China). But this time you got it backwards, when you call the defenders for "aggressors".
