What is the system hiding in Ukraine That is more dangerous to its interests than starting World War 3?

This is how you can tell the people who are making decisions about US military forces and Allied military forces have never actually seen combat. They are behaving like madmen fanning the flames of war that is not necessary. Most Americans could not point to Ukraine on a map until the propaganda blasts started. What do they need to stop Putin from exposing when he gets there that is more important to them than losing all of the tax cattle that would die in a global nuclear war?

It's actually pretty simple:

On one hand, the same people who profiteered off of Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, and half a dozen other conflicts you never hear about need a new cash cow. Goading the US and Europe into sending off their weapons and equipment to Ukraine forces them (especially the US and Germany) to have to buy newer replacements.

Part two is that Ukraine is the money laundering capitol of Europe (some would say the world) and a lot of politicians especially in the Democratic party and GOP establishment use money sent to Ukraine as part of aid packages to NGOs, who in turn send a lot of it back through elaborate means to fund reelection campaigns, lobbyists, and other interest groups. This was part of the FTX scandal in which cryptocurrency was used for this purpose.

There's also a third part that probably isn't a major factor compared to the last two, but the Bidens (and presumably other lesser known politicians) have some personal business dealings with Ukraine, Albania, and other countries in the region.

This is the first I've heard about Albania. Go on...

Hunter Biden has been receiving money from CEFC (China Energy) to basically cover for at least one guy who bribes government officials for political gains (oil rights) in foreign countries. In exchange, he helps push CEFC's interest in Europe. This racket is run out of Albania, a major hub for everything from laundering to narcotrafficking and gun running, and bribery schemes connecting most European governments and even some Mexican drug cartels.

The guy he was covering for was arrested and convicted sometime last year, but the story got buried since all news 24/7 at the time was our dumbass press secretary trying to redefine the meaning of recession.

And supposedly the cream of the shitcake is that Putin is negotiating to buy all the weapons that Corn Pop left for the taliban.

[Sixgunsound]

I posted about that elsewhere but not on GAG, my bad. I wonder how much the big guy got to leave all that stuff behind?

[Soteris]

What are you smoking? First of all, Russia would not have stopped with Ukraine and EVERYONE knows that. Secondly, Russia WAS UNABLE to win in the first place, sending aid to Ukraine now simply ends the war SOONER and actually limits the danger to the rest of the world. It is you who are completely clueless, not them.

[Msputiton]

Of course they hiding something. Show me 1 country that isn't hiding something.

But let's not pretend putin is on some grand campaign of justice either

[Sixgunsound]

Of course he isn't. He is on a campaign to ensure his border security against aggressive western assholes. For thousands of years Russians have lost wars if they didn't control the vast plains west of their border. They won wars where they did. It's not that complicated. Ukraine is also undercutting the price of their primary export, energy, using Russian-built equipment and infrastructure. Putin doesn't want multiple western bio-labs on his border so soon after a lab leak wrecked the world not too long ago. Propaganda hot pieces to the contrary, it is possible to understand the why and disagree with the how of recent events. Understanding does not equal agreement.
