The Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022 is starting to boost defense contractors' revenues, as customers such as the U.S. government restock supplies shipped to Ukraine and countries around Europe arm themselves with an eye on Moscow's aggressions.
You think they should get things for free? If you want a 500000$ missile, you better be able to pay for it. Wishes and thanks don’t pay the bills or put food on the table.
I’m all for removing idiotic export restrictions to Ukraine, they should be able to purchase anything they need, but if they don’t want to pay, that’s theft.

Ukraine is not as prosperous.
