Selling Aid to Ukraine: Spilling Blood to Create Jobs - The American Conservative

Facing growing opposition to Washington ’s proxy war against Russia , some Kiev advocates now claim the conflict is a great way to create jobs.

Biden administration has begun making a similar pitch to sell the war in Washington .

Biden aides also are arguing that killing foreigners is good for the economy.

This is obviously an awful argument.

It is a mistake to blame America ’s recklessly interventionist policy solely on the military industrial complex.

The Pentagon and other agencies collectively spend more on war than ever, with arms-makers thoughtfully spreading production among multiple states and congressional districts.

Washington should be working to end, not expand, the RussiaUkraine war.
