For decades, DC politicians have waged war while military contractors have collected billions in profits. Rarely has this symbiotic relationship been displayed in such a flagrant manner, however.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vox reported Saturday that the nation\u2019s biggest defense contractors threw a huge celebration in \u201chonor\u201d of the Ukrainian military. The location, the Ronald Reagan and International Trade Center, is less than a mile from the White House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One notable attendee at the party was Mark \u201cWhite Rage\u201d Milley. When not advocating<\/a> for critical race theory on the military, he rubs elbows with America\u2019s top war profiteers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The attendees laughed at the American people as they partied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Vox<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe invitation said the quiet part out loud.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Ukrainian Embassy hosted a reception last week in honor of the 31st anniversary of the country\u2019s armed services. Events like this are part of the social calendar of Washington\u2019s smart set, with hobnobbing diplomats, think tankers, journalists, and US officials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGuests took photos with the Ukrainian ambassador. Even Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley showed up.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut there was something so overt it led some observers to laugh out loud at the gathering\u2019s invitation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe logos of military contractors Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, Pratt & Whitney, and Lockheed Martin were emblazoned on the invitation as the event\u2019s sponsors, below the official Ukrainian emblems and elegant blue script that said the Ukrainian ambassador and defense attach\u00e9 \u201crequest the pleasure of your company.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s really bizarre to me that they would put that on an invitation,\u201d one think tank expert told me. \u201cThe fact that they don\u2019t feel sheepish about it, that\u2019s interesting,\u201d explained an academic. (Both spoke on the condition of anonymity and regularly attend embassy events in Washington.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Receiving $68<\/a> billion in one year will make you feel quite shameless. Especially when the US government will soon send billions more<\/a> your way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
