The Russian newspaper "Retm Eurasia" wrote that the United States ignores talking about what it spends on the war in Ukraine, despite the fact that this war costs in one day what was the cost of America's war in Afghanistan, noting that the US military-industrial complex, the United States and NATO benefit greatly from this war.
The newspaper explained in a report that America and NATO are implementing plans to supply weapons or prolong the conflict and expand its scope to the western part of the CIS, while the US military-industrial complex has received huge requests from the Pentagon and the European Union.
U.S. and NATO Interests
Washington's direct intervention in this war within the territory of Ukraine would bring positive and beneficial changes to Washington, the most important of which are the restoration of its hegemony in Europe, the re-sharing of energy markets, the formation of an independent market and ensuring exclusive demand for it, a significant increase in the economic potential of lobbyists associated with the US military-industrial complex and the temporary neutralization of the "Chinese threat", as well as a return to a unipolar world and the defeat of the strategic enemy by proxy war.
At the end of February, the Kyle Institute for the World Economy published data revealing that the United States spent more aid on Ukraine's armed forces in one year ($46.6 billion) than it spent on the war in Afghanistan from 2001 to 2010 ($43.4 billion).
Rising profits
The report noted that the U.S. military-industrial complex was able to maximize its profits, helping it offset the losses caused by the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. According to US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Washington would not have been able to provide assistance to Kiev at its current scale had it not withdrawn from Afghanistan.
NATO is moving forward with the strategy of "Afghanization" of the post-Soviet space in full view of everyone. In June last year, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg admitted in an interview with the BBC that the conflict in Ukraine would be as long-lasting as in Afghanistan.
