war only benefits warlords and authorities

I'd contend that it often also benefits the people being attacked by the war, unless you think it would have been reasonable to let the Nazis roll across all of Europe unopposed

You can fight evil without imitating nazi and building a more destructive society than what they did. Just look around yourself, you don't need a military industry complex to defend yourself, governments spend trillions on wars because it benefits their authority and to attack other nations, not to defend themself. Look at 400$ drones defeating million dollars tanks. Ukraine government too demands for more weapons because they want to attack back, not because it benefits the people who's land is now reduced to waste.

Ukraine is occupied. They want their people and their territories been freed. How insane should be to call right to defend and liberation an attack!?

The people of Ukraine are enslaved to their own fascist government to begin with which doesn't allow any male between 18 and 60 to leave the country. The fights over rubble and operations in crimea are not poor people defending themself, it's the ukrainian government playing war on their own. People can and will defend themself without a corrupted government. Warlords and politicians profits out such situation to increase their wealth and authority

Wow, this is like Hitler calling Stalin a fascist.

You Russian sock puppet accounts are all so predictable.

Even among the other bullshit you just said, this statement is straight up hilarious. There is literally no evidence of this, historical or current. Stop keeping the good drugs to yourself .
