How do you make someone understand that being drafted by force and ordered to invade another country is not a good thing? (sh.itjust.works)

Bingo. This nullifies your credibility. Either you’re a troll or an idiot.

That's simply what is happening look around you. Rulers and politicians profits in war, the military industry is booming, the cash is flowing. You think the really same people aiding israel in its genocide gives a fuck about peasants dying in a war?

Companies mentioned in an article you linked aren't getting the cash flow enough to warrant any improvement in related economies. I see Russian politicians profiting off various things during war but they were doing the same before.

So, short effects of the war on economies are not worth the long term effects of deaths of many consumers anywhere. Using the "war helps economy" argument while forgetting how the deaths and active aggression affect the world and lives, is a manipulation, which is also heavily used by those aggressors (Russia).

Telling Israel is doing a genocide without mentioning what hamas were doing to Israel is also a manipulation.
