2022 saw the worst bear market since 2008. Lockheed Martin shares down 10% since serious weapons shipments to Ukraine began last spring.

Northrup Grumman shares are down 15% this month.

Raytheon shares were 89 in 1999 and are 98 now. Boeing shares are half what they were four years ago.

Doesn't sound like the data support your idea that aid to Ukraine or empire are nearly as profitable as you think. But you're free to have your own data-free opinion.

I'm happy I own none of these shares.
