Four major U.S. defense contractors sponsored a Washington, D.C., party for the 31st anniversary of the Ukrainian armed forces as they stand to gain billions from the ongoing war in Ukraine, according to a report., hosted by the Ukrainian Embassy last week, took place in downtown D.C. at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center, located less than a mile from the White House, and that Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley was in attendance.
“The explicit sponsorship indicates how intimate major military contractors have become with Ukraine, and how much they stand to gain from the war,” Guyer wrote, adding: Defense contractors’ stocks have soared since the war began. Lockheed stock is up 38 percent, according to Vox. The companies either declined to comment or did not respond to queries from Vox.On their Facebook page, they posted photos from the event — including one of Milley, along with a post that said:
A former Sen. Bernie Sanders adviser told Vox that defense contractors sponsoring a party for Ukrainian forces who they are essentially profiting from is a bad look. Ukrainian servicemen receive the delivery of FGM-148 Javelins, the Lockheed Martin-made anti-tank missiles provided by the U.S. to Ukraine on February 11, 2022.
Your tax dollars hard at work.
When two deeply corrupt countries get together...
Scum bags
I’m speechless.
Why is our money (it’s all eventually taxpayer funded) going to these guys?
Business is booming with the war in Ukraine and so many grifters in positions of power. What would you expect?
warmongers
Because Nazi's love hookers and blow. Huge party celebrates all the BILLION$ being laundered.
Of course they're celebrating....looks at all our tax dollars at work blowing up soldiers. The U.S. could have insisted on a peace deal a long time ago, but that is bad for business.
Screw Ukraine

At American taxpayer expenses. Ukrainian debt is trading for .07cents on the dollar ,meaning no one has faith Ukraine will pay back it's debts,hence u.s. taxpayers on the hook for the 'lend lease' program.
Disturbing.
