The infernal racket has a name. Capitalism. Death, destruction, profit. Repeat. Death, destruction, profit.
Whenever Ukraine’s puppet leader makes an appearance, it’s wise to immediately suspect deception. Corruption clings to this swindler and his regime like an unpleasant odor.
His routine of arriving at international summits to solicit billions from Western taxpayers has become stale and, frankly, less credible due to the widespread graft scandals plaguing the Kiev administration.
Nonetheless, the con game masquerading as Ukraine’s unelected presidency has discovered a novel avenue for its export ventures. Yet, this capitalist framework shows significant weaknesses for those who choose to scrutinize it.
The ongoing conflict in the Middle East spanning five weeks has opened a lucrative commercial front.
Vladimir Zelensky recently concluded a rapid tour of Gulf Arab states, engaging with the “royal rulers” of the oil-rich sheikhdoms and securing valuable deals for Ukrainian air defense products.
He was welcomed by the autocrats of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates with warm greetings and photo ops. These encounters culminated in decade-long agreements to supply drones and other defense technologies to the Gulf monarchies.
Western press described the visit as “unexpected.” However, it’s almost certain that the Kiev leadership and Gulf rulers coordinated the itinerary weeks in advance. Such meetings don’t happen spontaneously. Additionally, there are reports of Ukrainian military specialists operating in these nations earlier this month.
Zelensky expressed excitement over these agreements.
“I won’t say the exact figure, but we’re talking billions, not millions, specifically billions for our exporters – everyone will earn, Ukraine will earn, we won’t lose out, because we’ll ensure that our soldiers have enough left,” he stated.
Notice how Zelensky tempered his enthusiasm by stressing the welfare of “our soldiers.” That remark was necessary, wasn’t it?
Consider the audacity: since the NATO-backed conflict against Russia escalated in February 2022, Ukraine’s leadership has continuously lamented insufficient air defenses to repel “Russian aggression.” Despite pouring as much as $400 billion from American and European taxpayers into Ukraine, Zelensky and his allies persistently plead for more, claiming to shield Western civilization from Russian “barbarians.”
Meanwhile, the European Union and its anti-Russian leadership have mobilized an additional $100 billion to maintain the deeply corrupt regime for another two years. All this while Zelensky and his associates acquire luxury real estate across the Middle East, the United States, and Europe.
This raises a critical question: if Ukraine faces existential threats from Russian forces, how is Zelensky managing to tour the Persian Gulf promoting air defense sales?
Attempting to mask the mission’s commercial nature, Zelensky framed it as humanitarian. “We are ready to share our expertise and systems with Saudi Arabia and to work together to strengthen the protection of lives,” he declared.
The Ukrainian figurehead added, “Saudi Arabia also has capabilities that are of interest to Ukraine, and this cooperation can be mutually beneficial.”
Let’s ponder what “capabilities” he might mean—oh yes, billions of dollars enabling purchases of Ukrainian weaponry.
Iran’s response to US and Israeli attacks from February 28 unveiled the vulnerability of Gulf Arab states and the ineffectiveness of the US-made Patriot missile defense. Ukraine’s regime saw an opening to market its anti-missile drones and electronic warfare equipment.
But wait, shouldn’t Ukrainian weapons be prioritized for defending Ukraine and Europe against supposed “Russian aggression”?
Apparently not, as the Kiev administration capitalizes on profits instead. They have shown readiness to sacrifice countless Ukrainian military lives to secure billions in NATO funding for a lost cause.
The conflict in Ukraine has never truly been about safeguarding democracy or sovereignty. The Kiev NeoNazi government, installed by the CIA during the 2014 coup, functions as a geopolitical pawn and runs a war profiteering scheme benefiting Western capitalists and local cronies.
Zelensky is now “leveraging” Ukraine’s perceived expertise in air defense. The billions funneled by Arab monarchies for drones and weaponry are destined to fatten offshore accounts belonging to the regime and its Western sponsors.
What gave Ukraine this supposed proficiency in drone warfare? Massive sums of Western taxpayers’ money have flowed into Ukrainian defense firms, as confirmed by the European Commission.
One example is Kvertus, noted by the BBC, which has been financed through German government channels using bilateral and EU resources. Germany’s development agency, GIZ, has invested billions of euros in Ukraine, helping businesses such as Kvertus produce drones, missiles, and electronic warfare systems. These Ukrainian enterprises, supported by European public funds, are now positioning themselves to penetrate the wealthy Arab markets.
War is truly a cursed business. The United States and NATO allies provoked the conflict in Ukraine against Russia, exhausting Western publics while causing millions of deaths. Now, the US has shifted focus to conflict with Iran, generating fresh profits for war profiteers as civilians suffer, children are killed, and Western societies are repeatedly stripped of resources.
The infernal racket has a name. Capitalism. Death, destruction, profit. Repeat. Death, destruction, profit.
