War: who benefits and how!

[Lida93]

War is one thing that no society should engage themselves into as its effect is devastating and unforgettable upon generations. When two or more countries are warring it is said that there are other countries that benefits in one way or the other from the war as it prolongs and intensifies, especially economical benefits is one of such.
 The ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine which has been on for almost a year now and the effects of the war between these two is not only on the two warring countries alone but has gone so far as affecting the economies of many countries of the world that have no involvement or interference in the said war. countries of Europe are experiencing a fall short in gas supply, while those of Africa and other continent suffer from economic downfall as a result of certain products and services that are no longer in-coming due to the war effect.
With this Russia Ukraine war which the effect is felt in almost all parts of the world directly and indirectly, I want to ask are there beneficiaries to this war and in what ways are they benefiting from it.

Winning country. Dominance.
But obviously, none of them are winning. Wars are not really beneficial and will never be necessary. Bigger problems will just arise and will just make the possibility for things to be followed by other countries as well. Hundreds and thousands of lives are being killed during a war. Economic crises are also being a struggle during such thing. It will also take long amount of time to completely recover and before making use of the dominance won over the other countries. This is just how power is being percieved by some countries who are used on solving inter country problems with brute force.  We're done with colonialism, we should never go back again with the time wherein killing and mass destruction are considered to be a solution.

Those who produce and sell weapons always benefit the most from war, because during wars the demand for weapons increases. The data show that in just one year, Ukraine consumed as much specific artillery ammunition as the US otherwise produces in even 5 years - and now, of course, production must be significantly increased in order to satisfy the demand to some extent.

Another industry that profits are those that produce medical supplies, especially those used on the battlefield such as bandages, infusions, painkillers and the like. In addition, the war creates thousands of disabled people who need prostheses and various other medical aids.

For most people, war means death, serious injuries, loss of apartments, houses, cars and more or less serious psychological consequences in the form of post-traumatic stress. However, for some it is really a time of great profit - and in my area there is a saying that says "war is a war for someone, and a brother for someone else".

Frankly, the US is the cause of this war, and they are the party that is receiving a lot of orders to buy weapons from allies in the world, so it can be said that the US is the most beneficial party. Besides, because of the war, the world fell into an economic crisis, also when they exported inflation to the countries that were their debtors.

I want to ask are there beneficiaries to this war and in what ways are they benefiting from it.

It depends on the scale of the war, the region and how many or who is involved in the direct armed conflict. The chaos large scale wars like the two European Wars also known as World Wars 1 and 2 create benefit those who stay far away from that chaos like United States. In WW2 for example, US benefited the most since it was far away and wasn't impacted as much as say Europe itself which then led to giving US tremendous amount of power which they abused in the past 80 years.

The Russian-NATO war is a medium scale war at best since it is focused in one small area of the world and the impacts are different depending on the distance and involved in the actual conflict for each country.
For example US like the WW2 is benefiting the most since they could successfully rescue their failing economy for the time being by creating more market for their exports (eg. LNG to Europe or the massive increase in weapons sale) that couldn't have existed without this war.
Other countries like Europe (different countries in the region with different degrees but all the same) are negatively impacted since they are being abused by US (ie. selling much more expensive LNG to Europe instead of the super cheap Russian gas they used to receive) so the impact is huge and negative. Like the ongoing deindustrialization in Europe.

Other countries that are also far from this conflict are seeing a range of different effects depending on their involvement and level of independence. For example a country that lacks independence like Japan is being forced into suffering negative economical impacts while countries with more independence like China are taking advantage of this situation and are expanding their economy (China is actually reporting high growths these days!) by having access to cheaper energy, taking over markets that were left by Europeans, attracting investment and industries that left regions like Europe, etc.

With the rest of the countries being in between like Turkey, India, etc. that are experiencing both negative and positive impacts. Like Turkey taking advantage of the chaos to seek benefits geopolitically speaking.

That's just a summary though, your question can't be answered any better due to the broad nature of it. It is best to analyze the situation per country not as a whole. For example even in a region like Europe there are major differences between each country like Italy seeing a different impact than France for instance and they are both different from a country like Latvia in Eastern Europe.

my opinion winning country will get benefit from it,but at all there is nothing worse bad than a war.
it is generally believed that some parties may be profiting from the war, both directly and indirectly.
For example, arms dealers and weapons manufacturers may be benefiting from the increased demand for military equipment and supplies. Other industries that may be profiting include security and surveillance companies, as well as contractors involved in rebuilding and reconstruction efforts.

With this Russia Ukraine war which the effect is felt in almost all parts of the world directly and indirectly, I want to ask are there beneficiaries to this war and in what ways are they benefiting from it.

Of course, many parties benefited from the war. One of them is a country that produces sophisticated war equipment, and sells it to countries that are at war. I did not specify which countries benefited, but some understand this. If war is not something you want, why should sophisticated war equipment be developed?
Of course, for the goods to sell, then there must be a bigger war.

[rat03gopoh]

I wanna mention weapon companies, it sounds like it's unethical to classify them as taking advantages on suffering. But if you look at the facts, the amount of their production increased dramatically during the war. Take the example of the Du Pont company, branded the "Merchant of Death"^[1].

Which side doesn't war to end is usually the one that has benefited the most.  It's always money.
I can't say it's not necessary because if Russia won't be aggressive, Putin will be overthrown and replaced by a US government-friendly president which basically means colonized. Powerful countries have been colonizing the smaller ones, it may not be the way like 1500 AD but it's all the same as colonizing.  Falkland is very far away from the UK but why do they own it? They colonized it the same as Hongkong a long time ago.

Once China becomes bigger, they may also do the same to Africa, put up a president that will make China thier world leader, and may even educate the African kids to speak Chinese. I believe they already are doing this.

But you can also say the US is getting weaker in the economy and has no manpower to go to war and the stronger countries like China and Russia is challenging their dominance.

People don't appreciate peace until there is war, and war is destructive, which is why I will always advocate for peace as war is never the humane solution. It's just a show of tyranny. There is no way the involved countries can benefit from the war, they will always lose resources and souls to it. In the case of Ukraine and Russia, though Russia is not destroyed, they have lost thousands of souls and billions of dollars to this senseless war and will continue to lose more.

Ukraine on the other hand has lost more, including the destruction of the country. However, there are companies that would benefit from this war, they are the weapon-producing companies, and this will benefit the economy of their countries.

No doubt that some countries do benefit from the negative consequences like war. With the scenario we see in between Russia and Ukraine, no doubt the adversity is getting some countries very rich in their dealings in supply of war materials. During this time, the demand for substances to executive the war increases, not only hardware but soft ware like military kits also.

[Die_empty]

The first persons that gain during wars are the producers of military hardware or equipment. Waring nations are willing to pay anything to buy weapons to defend their lands and win the war. The sponsors of the war also benefit because after the war they would gain from their investment through unbalanced trade deals. Corrupt government official always like war because it is a great opportunity to loot the country's resources like in the  case of Ukraine. It is the public domain that corrupt government officials in Ukraine have been inflating contracts to enrich themselves. Ukraine is currently fighting the wars against Russia and corruption.

[aoluain]

Because of the destructive nature of war post war development takes skilled and
experienced people and companies to rebuild so construction and development
companies will benefit from what is happening in Ukraine because in the contested areas
there is little left.

Also the development which has to take place needs to be financed, so there will be plenty
of investment funds and companies tripping over themselves to get all or part of
the massive growth available.

There are definitely plenty of companies out there who profit and lose from these kind of wars. It appears that military related companies are set for a big boom after they've struggled in some countries for a long time with shrinking armies in places like Europe. Even more civilian companies that you might not think will benefit are getting a big boost - like aerospace manufacturers. Then there are others like oil and gas companies, who have made huge profits due to the fear of supply interruptions and the imbalances that happened early on. Certain mining companies will be big winners if they are able to sell their product for more after supply was limited from Ukrainian and Russia sources.

Some countries are taking advantage of the situation, and yes they benefited from this war and maybe that’s why they are pushing this to happen more. Those who sell weapons are making a lot of money from the war and that is supported by the government. Some are taking advantage to increase their sale of gas because of the absence from the Russian gas because of the restriction. Feel sorry to those who suffered a lot because this useless war, I can’t imagine how Ukraine rise again after this devastating war.

Almost no event can enrich the imperial economy more than wars. Imperialism means that a country wants to acquire more resources and new markets. Wars are a vital element for the continued development of those economies that are based on resources that belong to other peoples.

[serjent05]

I want to ask are there beneficiaries to this war and in what ways are they benefiting from it.

Weapon supplier is obviously the one that benefits the most during war.  I cannot say that the winning country got the benefit because they had lost lots of men and military power, yes they occupied a space in the country but do you think it is enough for the lives lost during the war?  the sufferings of the citizen due to economic sanctions and the possible future war when the lost country plan to retake their land.  All in all countries participating in a war never benefits in it, it is the weapon manufacturer that wins this war.

[livingfree]

I want to ask are there beneficiaries to this war and in what ways are they benefiting from it.

Arms dealers, through selling of those arms and other weapons. That's the reality about this war.

Like in a gold rush, those that have sold shovels were the ones who took advantage of the situation and they're the ones who benefited it. Just like on every war, the providers and merchants of weapons are the ones who become wealthy.

But the sad truth is, too many lives are taken away and these wars are unlikely to be stopped because of many political disagreement and as well as territorial disputes.

Definitely, no wonder why some government are funding the terrorist just continue their business of providing weapons and making a lot of budget specifically for the purpose of their defense. In some countries, the defense department spend a lot of money compare to any department. Many benefited from this war, its bad to the public of course but for those businesses, its a good opportunity for them to produce more. The public are the one who suffers from this especially the current war in Ukraine.

Suppliers of weapons, tools, food, and other stuff to the belligerents of war will always be the winners--granted the world hasn't end based on this war that they supplied. The winners gain dominance and some control over the losers, and they get to shape the new world and established new rules that favors them, but not for long. Conflicts will always be there as long as humans continue to strive for power and control, and as long as they do that, there will come a time wherein no winners will be left after a war.
