sometimes I have the impression this war is kind of entertainment.

Always has been, just not for those caught in the middle (earth) of it.

Here @ home, when hunting for something to watch on Stan, Britbox, Paramount+ etc etc - we give high priority to those that say 'based on a true story'.

Looking forward to one of those in 2023 where Putin does a Hitler in a bunker somewhere underneath the Kremlin.

About 60 years ago President Eisenhower stated in his farewell speech "There is a faction within the Government that wants perpetual-warfare" and he went on and called it "The-Military-Industrial-Complex". Even to this day Washington loves manufacturing Wars and Proxy-wars since it gives them a big excuse to throw a bunch of money into a black-hole and we never know where all of it went and there's never a proper Audit, but some signs of wastefull spending do emerge later. The excuse for every war is "our Freedoms are in Jeopardy" or "this is a existential threat to the free-world", or "we need to save Countries X Y and Z" while never giving the American people the full story.

This war in Ukraine was possibly preventable but our leaders took NO preventative measures only esculation ones like hanging in Russias backyard influencing Ukraine for our military advantage for years.. Other preventative methods, for example 1. they waited until Russia invaded before giving Ukraine Military aid, why not beef up Ukraines military BEFORE Russia invaded like many years ago when Russia invaded Georgia? making Ukraine stronger years ago would've made Russia think twice before invading. 2. Why did we and Europe buy alot of Russian oil for many years knowing that they were Communistic and imperial? We only strenghthened Russias military by strengthening their Economy.

These endless wars only happen when the Establishment are in power. Love him or hate him but Trump started NO new wars or proxy-wars and this was a first in like 50 years. We're always told we need a new war or humanity may end.

I think most Americans are in the wrong profession since it seems war-profiteers get all the money. We are 31-trillion in debt with over 8-trillion spent on endless wars in the Middle-East and when those wars there can nolonger be justified they started reducing that campaign and then immediately started a proxy-war campaign in Ukraine wich has long been a dark-money playground for crooked US politicians and others. American people are struggling to pay the cost-of-living while crooked polititians get filthy rich continuosly beating the war drum along with the Media and Defense-Companies who make Weapons and Companies who get Government contracts to re-build war-torn countries.

One sick cycle that never ends because some don't want it to.
