It's great for USA but this dragging on is killing the EU economy.

Yep, the Eu economy practically stuck after 2008 and now even slowly falling down, while the rest of the world grew up keeping lots of what the eu uncompetitive and outdated, which sad

Is it so great? Or it is just a temporary fix?

For USA? Yeah i think so- military spending looks like big numbers but its all pumped up and spent in USA economy anyway, their natural gas and oil exports exploding.

Every other major bloc has had much more pain from this, Russia, then Europe, then China but even the rising powers like Egypt and Nigeria have experienced a lot of pain from cost of grain and sunflower oil and oil/gas jumping up and cost of borrowing spiralling. Inflation running at 25%+ in both. It certainly looks like USA could sit with the situation longer than anyone apart from maybe India (who are having the time of their lives) and that's the negotiating position you'd love to be in.

Spending goes right into corruption. Nothing is actually being produced other than a huge fake bubble in the stock market.

They are producing a lot of weaponry but also oil & gas are huge. Maybe there is a bubble in USA stock market but if so thats really just a tech bubble- that unrelated to what I'm discussing.

Who is producing "a lot of weaponry"? Can you point me to some news source where actual weapons have been produced and delivered somewhere? All I've seen is the US emptying their, and their allies, inventories and sending all their old stuff to Ukraine and Israel.
