This long lasting conflict reminds me of the one in Bosnia which occurred during the 1990's and they wanted or hoped the conflict to go on for decades, meaning I personally also "smell" a lot of money coming from all types of weapons being sold from both sides or from every corner during the Russia/Ukraine conflict. These days lots of "enemies" are selling weapons to each other, but the problem is that the ordinary citizen is always the so-called "collateral damage". One French reporter recently said that sooner or later the people will rise against the "elite" and the whole world will burn. I agree with him since it comes from man who lives in country where most of the world's revolutions started from.
