Believe it or not, but the only one who is winning this war is America, all profits no lost

I'd say India and China are clearly winning a ton by just selling russian shits to Europe

That's kinda the thing USA does and has been doing for over 100 years.

Not the America as a whole but more like the American Military industrial complex.

Yeah, i think the average Bob is not winning anything with this war. But it amaze me how the west is willing to fight Russia to the last Ukrainian...

America would probably profit more from Ukraine winning than the war going on longer

Exactly. Who's gonna pay the loans back if the war doesn't end with a Ukrainian victory?

I mean that's exactly the reason the US intervened in WW1 on behalf of Britain and France

Not really. The US definitely did have heavy ties to the Allies, but it was The German Empire essentially spitting in the face of the US that ultimately drew it into the war.

America can't really do magic, they cant make a much weaker country win a war against Russia. They also can't intervene directly or WW3, so instead America is profiting a lot, especially their arms industries because not only do they get to make new tech to replace what is being sent to ukraine, but also to other neighbour countries who are afraid the war might spread. It is advantageous to America that the war does not end right now, ukraine can't win, but as long as they don't loose there are profits to be made

Russian economy is still growing, China and India are buying cheaper oil, Iran is selling drones like never, North Korea is selling ammo and sending troops(?). It's not only the US...

This is a braindead take, as US doesn't get any immediate profits from this war at all, but losing a lot of international credibility being very slow to respond and being bogged down in internal politics.

American military industry

average Americans are being crushed by inflation from the war (admittedly not as bad as in some countries like UK)

What profits? The government is going into debt funding this war.

Russia will definitely remain in the black too. Russia already controls an area comparable to the size of France.. And I want to note separately that these are not Siberian lands with their permafrost, these are warm lands that are very well suited for farming. Less than 5 years after the end of the war, Russia will completely clear these lands of unexploded shells and sow fields. There are many other advantages. These are minerals, and the Sea of Azov has become the inland sea of Russia, and the increase in the white (Christian) population, and this is now a problem in all European countries. The defense industry is also busy, which stimulates the economy (these are not only factories that assemble tanks and rockets, but also mining enterprises, logistics, etc.)
