"On Point"
MINSK, 27 August (BelTA) - Military-industrial complex corporations in the USA and Europe are profiting from the hostilities in Ukraine, yet their portfolio of unfulfilled orders is also growing, political observer with the media group Rossiya Segodnya Vladimir Kornilov told BelTA’s YouTube project V Teme [On Point].
Reflecting on the strategy of Western companies in Ukraine and their interest in the war, Vladimir Kornilov noted: “If we were to proceed from the intention of the owner of a particular piece of land, the owner of a certain plot, or the owner of a mine with rare earth metals, coal, or something else to preserve their property, then, all the more, they would not be interested in war. That's the inconsistency."
Vladimir Kornilov stated that a great many military-industrial complex corporations are profiting from the war in Ukraine: “We see how military spending is skyrocketing. We see how corporations of the military-industrial complex are profiteering, primarily in the USA and in Europe. At the same time, we see that the portfolio of unfulfilled orders is also growing. They are taking on obligations they a priori cannot fulfill due to the lack of appropriate space, sites, plants, factories, production capacities, and people. But greed has eclipsed everything. There are the interests of the military-industrial complex, there are the interests of the owners of plants, newspapers, and steamships. They sometimes don't even coincide and contradict each other.”
The political commentator emphasized that the obsession with helping Ukraine has its material explanations. “There are serious problems in the economy, in preserving peace and stability in some European states, linked to their demographic problems and a whole range of other issues. And accordingly, as it has been in different centuries, it is necessary to immediately redirect all problems towards finding an external enemy, towards creating an external adversary against whom we must fight, otherwise we will not endure, we will disappear as a nation, we will sink, and so on. Before, it was global warming, then COVID, now it is Russia, the Russian ‘aggressor’,” Vladimir Kornilov said.
