Here in the US, the military industrial complex would use it to drive funding, sow fear, and keep "strong on defense" politicians in power. It also serves to distract from the abject failure of governments worldwide to properly handle Covid.
However, I have been lied to repeatedly by "news" organizations, so why not use the power of the internet to see how things really are?

Is there really anything more than political shenanigans to keep Ukraine out of NATO happening? I have reason to doubt it.
