The people making money right now on Syria is...
*drumroll*
Russia!
The people that stand to make money with this whole Syria business is anyone on the receiving end of the world's immense defense spending. People talk about "spending" all the time when it comes to budgets, but the cynic in me wants to see who is doing the "receiving", and where their motivations lie. War is expensive business, and that money has to go somewhere. Follow the money.
The cynic in me says that military budgets will only be maintained or increased if the military is actually using their allotment of dollars for new missiles, tanks, and bullets. If they fire fewer cruise missiles this year, then next year they get less money in the cruise missile pot. Who makes the missiles? Follow the money.
