Shaoxing disease control: if a teacher is infected with the flu, he must rest in isolation at home and not attend class with illness.

CCTV News:According to the "Shaoxing CDC News" in WeChat official account, the monitoring data of Shaoxing CDC show that since November, the percentage of influenza-like cases in outpatient and emergency treatment in Shaoxing has shown an obvious upward trend, suggesting that Shaoxing has entered the influenza high season, and kindergartens, schools and other crowd gathering places are prone to outbreaks, which should be paid special attention to. It is suggested that kindergartens, schools and other collective places do the following:

1, do a good job in the morning (noon) check-up and registration of absence due to illness. Students with fever, cough and other flu-like symptoms found in kindergartens and schools should inform their parents in time to avoid going to school, and classes can only be resumed 48 hours after the students’ body temperature returns to normal and other flu-like symptoms disappear. For students who are definitely diagnosed with influenza, kindergartens and schools should do a good job in checking the certificate of resumption of classes. At the same time, the school should reasonably arrange the remedial work for students who are absent due to illness, and eliminate the concerns of students and parents.

2, do a good job of daily cleaning and disinfection. Nursery institutions and schools should use wet mops to mop the floor every day, and often carry out preventive disinfection on classroom door handles, tables and chairs, stair handrails, etc. Regularly clean the air conditioning and central air conditioning ventilation system. If there are sick students staying in the classroom, use chlorine-containing disinfectant (such as 84 disinfectant) to wipe the desks and chairs of the sick students, rinse the rag with running water, and soak it in disinfectant for 30 minutes before reuse.

3. Keep the classroom air circulating. Kindergartens and schools should open windows for ventilation at least twice a day for 10-15 minutes each time, and the ventilation time can be selected during the next class, lunch break and after school. Due to the low temperature in winter, pay attention to ventilation to avoid students catching cold.

4. If a teacher has the flu or flu-like symptoms, be sure to arrange for the teacher to rest in isolation at home and not to take classes with illness. Because of the wide range of teachers’ activities, it is easy to cause an outbreak of influenza.

5. Kindergartens and schools should provide running water, hand sanitizer and other necessary hand washing facilities, educate students to wash their hands frequently and develop good hygiene habits. When coughing or sneezing, cover your mouth and nose with paper towels and elbows, wash your hands after coughing or sneezing, and try to avoid touching your mouth, nose or eyes with your hands.

6. Vaccination against influenza is an effective measure to prevent influenza. It is recommended that school teachers and students be vaccinated against influenza every year.

7. When kindergartens and schools have a cluster epidemic of influenza-like cases, they should promptly report to the disease control institutions in their respective jurisdictions. After receiving the report, the disease control institutions should promptly assist kindergartens and schools in their respective jurisdictions to carry out on-site investigation and disposal, and take measures to suspend classes when necessary.

8, nurseries and schools in the high season of influenza epidemic, try to reduce the gathering activities.

9. During the flu season, students should try not to go to crowded public places and try to avoid contact with patients with flu-like cases. Wear a mask when you have symptoms such as fever and cough, or when you are in contact with others. In severe cases, seek medical advice in time, and do not attend class with illness.

The community health service station undertakes the functions and responsibilities of pre-examination and triage of fever patients. Peng Qinghua had a cordial conversation with the family doctor who worked there, and asked in detail about emergency duty, diagnosis and treatment, and health knowledge propaganda during the festival. He pointed out that rural areas, communities and families are the focus of current epidemic prevention and control. It is necessary to implement grid and carpet management, adopt information technology, carry out full coverage investigation, dynamically grasp the number and flow direction of people from high-risk areas, strictly implement the system of isolated observation at home, prevent the epidemic from being imported, spread and exported, and be a good "gatekeeper" for people’s health. The prevention and control of epidemic situation is closely related to the life safety of every resident, and every resident can also play a role. It is necessary to guide urban and rural people to develop good health habits, enhance their awareness of self-protection, go out less, wash their hands frequently, wear masks, and do not participate in group dinners and gatherings, and pay attention to avoiding cross-infection among family members.

On January 27th, Peng Qinghua, secretary of the provincial party committee, went to Mianyang City Center for Disease Control and Prevention to inspect and supervise the epidemic prevention and control work, and learned about the reserve and deployment of medical protective masks, disinfectants, logistics support equipment and other materials in the medical emergency materials warehouse.

Wash your hands with soap or hand sanitizer and flowing water. Cover your mouth and nose with a handkerchief or paper towel when sneezing or coughing to avoid polluting your hands and the surrounding environment.

Multiple ventilation

Keep the indoor air circulating, and generally ventilate 2-3 times a day at home in winter for about 30 minutes each time.

Less aggregation

During the epidemic of infectious diseases in winter and spring, try not to go to crowded places and avoid contact with patients with respiratory diseases. It is recommended to wear masks when you need to go.

Drink plenty of water

Keep the nasal mucosa moist, effectively resist the invasion of viruses, and also facilitate the excretion of toxins in the body and purify the environment in the body.

A balanced diet and proper exercise.

Enhance your physical fitness (outdoor activities should be reduced in foggy days).

vaccination

Vaccine is an effective means to prevent related infectious diseases. For infectious diseases such as influenza, chickenpox and mumps, susceptible people can be prevented by vaccination in advance.

Hospitalization or rest at home

Once infected with infectious diseases in winter and spring, patients should take hospitalization or rest at home according to their illness and doctor’s advice, and avoid participating in group activities and entering public places during this period. Resume daily activities such as going to school and going to work after it is not contagious.

Discount? Discount? This is the hidden "fraud" of well-known supermarkets exposed in Focus Interview.

CCTV News (Focus Interview):When we go shopping in the supermarket, after paying the bill at the cashier, we will all receive a small ticket with the price details of the shopping. However, after you buy something in the supermarket, do you have the habit of checking the shopping receipt? Have you ever found any problems in the shopping receipt? Recently, the reporter conducted an investigation into this.

The reporter’s random interview found that many customers said that they would not look at the price of shopping receipts after shopping. So is the supermarket really as trustworthy as some customers say? Just after the "Eleventh" holiday, the reporter went to a large supermarket. The discount promotion activities of the supermarket "Eleventh" were not over yet, and many citizens were comparing prices to choose goods.

Concessions and discounts are often used in supermarkets to promote sales, which will really attract consumers. However, the reporter’s investigation found that the discounts in some supermarkets are not as written on the label.

In the area where this supermarket sells instant noodles, the reporter saw the yellow label of Master Kong with 20 yuan minus 3 everywhere, and many people bought it. Counting that it can be reduced by 3 yuan, an elder sister took two packs of instant noodles and left. The reporter also plans to buy two packages to enjoy the preferential price. Before taking them, the reporter confirmed the discounted purchase scope to the shopping guide. The shopping guide told the reporter that he could only buy the original price goods of Master Kong’s family.

The reporter chose two packs of Master Kong instant noodles with the original price, the total price exceeded that of 20 yuan, which met the preferential requirements of 20 minus 3. However, after the check-out, the reporter didn’t see the information of discount minus 3 yuan on the shopping receipt. The reporter asked the staff, and the staff asked the reporter to return the goods. Seeing the reporter didn’t mean to return the goods. The supermarket staff could only find the sales staff of the manufacturer to find the reason. After they tried it on the self-service checkout machine, they found that the system did not give a discount.

The staff said to the reporter, "Can you return this? This is a systematic problem of Wumart. "

Screenshot of program video

It is understood that the preferential activities of some products started on September 26th and lasted for half a month. I wonder how many people bought the instant noodles that were written with a discount, but there was no discount. A staff member said: "In the past two days, I have seen a lot of people saying that they have reduced this, but they have not reduced it after sweeping."

The reduction was not reduced, and the staff at the counter could not solve it. The reporter found the service center again. The staff of the service center said that they could not handle it, and the price difference could not be refunded, so they could only return it. So, is this problem man-made or intentional? The staff said: "I don’t know, because there was this problem in the morning, I returned it directly to the customer."

Although some customers have encountered the discount before, half a month has passed, the preferential activities are coming to an end, and the supermarket has not adjusted the problems. Is this intentional or careless?

Zhang Yanfang, a member of the Expert Committee of the China Consumers Association, said: "This kind of system failure should be dealt with in time. If this problem occurs for the first time, it can be considered as a correctable problem and can be solved reasonably and legally, thenIf it reappears for the second time, Shangchao may have subjective intention. In this case, it constitutes the price fraud stipulated in Document No.15 of the National Development and Reform Commission and Order No.73 of the former State Administration for Industry and Commerce, which constitutes an infringement on consumers."

In this shopping, it’s not just instant noodles that have price problems. At the cosmetics counter, the reporter saw that some hair dyes were marked with a 50% discount on the second piece. The reporter took two boxes, because there was only one box left in one color, and the reporter chose a box of hair dye of the same brand and the same price in other colors, and there was also a problem when checking out.

The label of the same hair dye says that the second one is 50% off. Why can’t you get a discount if you take two different colors? Moreover, the label does not indicate the need for the same model products. The reporter found the cosmetics counter again. The staff said that the two products need to be the same bar code to get a 50% discount on the second one. The discount label does not indicate that the second product of the same model can be 50% off, but the supermarket has set different barcodes for two different colors of hair dyes. The staff member also said that although the hair dye taken by the reporter has a discount label, it is not within the scope of activities. What is going on?

The staff said that this product is single, all of them are monochrome numbers, and none of them are matched. The remaining one cannot participate in the activity. There is only one item in stock, that is to say, according to the setting of the supermarket, the reporter can’t enjoy the 50% discount on the second item anyway, but knowing this, the price tag staff of this discount just won’t remove it. The staff told the reporter that in fact, two different colors of hair dyes are not impossible to discount, as long as she goes to the counter to say hello. But this matter, you don’t ask, she will not take the initiative to say.

There is no discount, and there is a difference of tens of yuan before and after, which is not a small amount. There is no discount that should be available, misleading consumers. The reporter also found a similar situation when investigating in other supermarkets. In another large supermarket, a shelf selling slippers reads a discount message: from October 9 to October 22, buy full-court slippers and get 20% discount for 2 pairs. Supermarket staff told reporters that the low-priced, member-owned and selected posters are not counted, and the original ones only participate in the activities.

Write the whole audience, how come there are so many rules? Look at the poster carefully again, and the details of the activity are marked in very small words: poster, low price, membership, featured recommendation and brand counter are excluded. The reporter selected two pairs of slippers that are neither posters, low prices, members, nor featured recommendations or brand counters. As a result, it was found at the checkout that these two pairs of slippers were not discounted. The reporter found the service center of the supermarket. The staff of the service center told the reporter that the slippers taken by the reporter may be special items on the poster and cannot participate in the discount.

After repeated confirmation, the staff member admitted that the reporter did not take the special slippers on the poster. In order to find out whether the slippers taken by the reporter can be discounted, the staff of the service center found the relevant person in charge of the supermarket. The person in charge also didn’t know the situation, so he asked the reporter to go back to the slipper counter to ask the salesman for advice. The reporter returned to the counter and was told that the salesman had a rest that day.

 The most direct way to solve the problem in supermarkets is to return goods.

Just then, the person in charge upstairs came down. The reporter also raised the question of how to distinguish which shoes can be discounted and which can’t be discounted. The person in charge stood in front of the shelf for a long time, and he couldn’t say clearly which ones could be discounted. In the end, the person in charge chose the simplest solution: return the goods directly to the reporter. The reporter said that he needed an explanation, and it can’t always be like this. The other party said, "I’ll give you the money back first, and we’ll solve it next time."

The reporter returned to the slipper counter after returning the goods at the service desk and found that all the preferential information boards had been removed.

Zhang Yanfang believes: "From the latter two consumer behaviors, it can be seen that in fact, the dishonest behavior of Shangchao is more prominent here. In the face of consumers, the ambiguity and vagueness of its product information disclosure poster, which can not mark the products participating in the activities in a prominent position, will mislead consumers, whether it is from Article 20 of the Consumer Law or 55 advertising laws of the Consumer Protection Law, or 14 of the Price Law we have seen. "

From the mouth of the supermarket staff, the reporter learned that the situation encountered by the reporter was not a case.

In random interviews on the street, many consumers told reporters that they had encountered such price problems. Some people understand this behavior in supermarkets, while others think it is intentional.

It says that there is a discount, but there is no discount. It says that there is a discount, but there is no discount. Although the supermarket also gives a refund after the consumer raises an objection, this practice has violated the integrity management. Especially for those consumers who don’t look at the shopping receipts, they don’t know it after eating yabakui. When doing business, merchants should keep consistent in their words and deeds. They can’t say one thing and do another, which will hurt their reputation, but it is inevitable that they will be suspected of fraud. As consumers, we sincerely hope that we can shop with confidence, but if you find problems and disputes when shopping, it is recommended to complain and report to the regulatory authorities in time.

Israel embeds AI into deadly military action: selecting air strike targets at an unprecedented speed.

  At present, the Israeli military mainly uses two artificial intelligence systems to participate in military operations. One is a system for processing a large amount of data and selecting air strike targets; The other is an artificial intelligence model used to calculate the ammunition load and make a surprise attack plan.

  "If there is an error in the calculation of artificial intelligence, and artificial intelligence itself cannot explain it, then who should be responsible for this error? You may kill a family because of a mistake. "

  Israel Defense Forces (IDF) began to use artificial intelligence (AI) system to select air targets and organize wartime logistics work to cope with tensions with Iran and other countries.

  According to a report by Bloomberg on July 17, at present, the Israeli military mainly uses two artificial intelligence systems to participate in military operations. One is a system for processing a large amount of data and selecting air strike targets; The other is an artificial intelligence model used to calculate the ammunition load and make a surprise attack plan. Military officials said that it is now possible to select air targets and carry out attacks within minutes, which is unprecedented speed.

  Supporters believe that these advanced algorithms may surpass human capabilities and help the military minimize casualties, while critics warn that over-reliance on increasingly autonomous systems may have fatal consequences.

  Designed for total war, it has gained practical experience in Gaza.

  Israeli officials said that in addition to using artificial intelligence systems to process a large amount of data and select air strike targets, the military is rapidly carrying out subsequent raids through another artificial intelligence model called "Fire Factory", which calculates the ammunition load according to the air strike target data approved by the military, prioritizes thousands of targets and assigns them to aircraft and drones, and makes a timetable.

  Giving artificial intelligence a high degree of control over military operations has caused a lot of controversy and discussion. An IDF official said that every target and air strike plan of these two systems are currently supervised and audited by human operators, but this technology has not been regulated at any international or national level.

  "If there is an error in the calculation of artificial intelligence, and artificial intelligence itself cannot explain it, then who should be responsible for this error?" Tal Mimran, a lecturer in international law at Hebrew University in Jerusalem and a former military legal adviser, said, "You may kill a family because of a mistake."

  The details of the military’s use of artificial intelligence are still largely confidential. According to military officials, the IDF conducted regular air strikes in the Gaza by using controversial artificial intelligence systems, and gained battlefield experience. Earlier, Israeli air strikes were frequently carried out in the Gaza in response to rocket attacks. In 2021, the IDF described the 11-day conflict in Gaza as the world’s first "artificial intelligence war", saying that it used artificial intelligence to identify rocket launching pads and deploy drones. Israel has also carried out air strikes in Syria and Lebanon, targeting arms shipments from pro-Iranian militias such as Hezbollah in Lebanon.

  In recent months, Israel has warned Iran about its uranium enrichment activities almost every day. If a military conflict breaks out between the two countries, the IDF expects Iranian proxy organizations in Gaza, Syria and Lebanon to fight back, which will lead to the first serious multi-front conflict in Israel since the Yom Kippur war triggered by the Egyptian and Syrian raids 50 years ago.

  IDF officials pointed out that tools based on artificial intelligence such as "Firepower Factory" were tailored for this scenario. "What used to take a few hours now only takes a few minutes, plus a few minutes of manual review." Colonel Uri, head of the army’s digital transformation department, said that only his name could be used for security reasons. Speaking at the headquarters of the Israel Defense Forces in Tel Aviv, Uri said: "We have done more with the same number of people."

  These officials stressed that the system was designed for total war. The IDF has been using artificial intelligence for a long time. Recently, it has extended these systems to various departments, trying to position itself as a global leader in autonomous weapons. Some of these systems were built by Israeli defense contractors, while others, such as the StarTrack border control camera, were developed by the military. These cameras identify people and objects by watching thousands of hours of video. Together, they form a huge digital architecture, which is specially used to analyze a large number of unmanned aerial vehicles and closed-circuit television videos, satellite images, electronic signals, online communications and other data for the military to use.

  Processing these massive information is the task of the Data Science and Artificial Intelligence Center run by the 8200 military department. The center is located in the intelligence department, where many Israeli technology millionaires complete their compulsory military service before the company succeeds in starting a business. A spokesman said that the system developed by the center "changed the IDF’s concept of targets".

  Serious concern

  The secrecy of the development of such tools has aroused serious concern. Some people think that the gap between semi-automatic systems and fully automatic killing machines may narrow overnight. In this case, machines will be given the ability to locate and strike targets, and human beings will be completely excluded from decision-making.

  "Only some software changes are needed to change them from semi-automation to full automation." Catherine Connolly, an automated decision researcher at Stop Killer Robots, said.

  Another worry is that the rapid adoption of artificial intelligence exceeds the research speed of its internal operation. Many algorithms of artificial intelligence systems are developed by private companies and the military, which have secret patent information. Critics emphasize that the inherent mechanism of the algorithm’s conclusion lacks transparency. The IDF admits this problem, but says that the output results are carefully reviewed by soldiers, and its military artificial intelligence system will leave records so that human operators can trace its steps.

  "Sometimes, when you introduce more complex artificial intelligence components, such as neural networks, understand ‘ What has happened to its brain ’ Is quite difficult. So I say I am satisfied with traceability, not with interpretability. In other words, I want to know what is important to me in this process and monitor it, even if I don’t understand every ‘ Neuron ’ What are you doing? " Colonel uri said.

  The Israeli Ministry of Defence refused to disclose the amount of its investment in artificial intelligence, and the military was unwilling to discuss specific defense contracts, although it confirmed that the "fire factory" was developed by Israeli defense contractor Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ltd.

  "We can assume that the United States, China and several other countries also have advanced systems in the field of artificial intelligence." Liran Antebi, a senior researcher at Israel’s National Security Institute, said, "But unlike Israel, as far as I know, they have never demonstrated the actual operation and successful use of the system."

  In February this year, the first global summit on responsible artificial intelligence in the military field was held in the Netherlands. More than 60 countries, including China and the United States, participated in and signed an action initiative on responsible use of artificial intelligence in the military field, and Israel was the only country that did not sign it.

  At present, there are no restrictions on introducing artificial intelligence systems into military operations. Although the United Nations has presided over the negotiations for 10 years, there is no international framework that stipulates who should be responsible for civilian casualties, accidents or unexpected escalation when computers make mistakes.

Behind the United States’ fueling the conflict between Russia and Ukraine is selfish interest calculation. Julio Rios, a Spanish expert on international issues, pointed out that "the United States is

  Core reading

  The U.S. government continues to fire the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. At the same time, the share prices of major U.S. military enterprises have risen sharply. The United States’ practice of watching the fire from across the bank, harvesting wealth by creating conflicts and provoking wars has aroused widespread doubts and dissatisfaction in the international community.

  The State Council recently announced a series of measures to help Ukraine, including providing diplomatic support, financial assistance and selling arms. International public opinion generally believes that the American government deliberately incites war and adds fuel to the fire, with the aim of prolonging the Russian-Ukrainian conflict and seeking its own geostrategic interests. US government officials, military industrial enterprises and members of Congress get what they need, and earn "a lot of money".

  Franklin Spinney, a former official of the US Department of Defense, pointed out that the US military-industrial complex should be responsible for the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, because the business model of the military-industrial complex and its lobbying activities are one of the important reasons for NATO’s repeated eastward expansion after the Cold War.

  Eric sperling, Executive Director of Fair Foreign Policy, an American anti-war organization — —

  The U.S. military-industrial complex exported a large number of weapons to Ukraine and other regions, and profited greatly from the Ukrainian crisis. The military giant is an important behind-the-scenes pusher of American belligerence.

  Many congressmen, mainstream media and senior government officials in the United States are closely related to the US military-industrial complex. Military enterprises signed huge military contracts with the support of parliamentarians and senior officials; Members of parliament receive campaign funds provided by military enterprises, and some senior officials serve as executives in military giants before or after they leave office. The data shows that the US military-industrial complex is making huge profits from the escalation of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. The share prices of related companies soared, the defense budgets of the United States and European countries continued to increase, and the military giants successfully concocted the opportunity of "bloody war wealth".

  The New York Times reported that the United States provided Ukraine with nearly 17,000 Stinger anti-aircraft missiles and Javelin anti-tank missiles within one week after the start of the Russian-Ukrainian war. The US Business Insider website reported that at least 19 US congressmen or their spouses hold shares in arms companies that manufacture Stinger and Javelin missiles, especially Raytheon and Lockheed Martin. In the context of the ongoing crisis, it is expected that the two arms dealers will make huge profits of up to billions of dollars. As of April 21st, the closing price shows that within one month since Russia launched the special military operation in Ukraine, the shares of Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman and Raytheon rose by 25.6%, 24% and nearly 15% respectively.

  "Warmongers are encouraging a new cold war with Russia … … This is in their interest to put trillions of dollars into the pockets of the military-industrial complex. " Former US Congressman Gabbard pointed out that "let Russia attack Ukraine", the US military-industrial complex will benefit from it, "the military-industrial complex will be better than them and ‘ Base ’ Organizing operations will earn much more. "

  Spinney wrote a few days ago that the conflict between Russia and Ukraine is a "foreseeable consequence" of NATO’s eastward expansion. War is a very bad thing. However, "since the outbreak of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the Pentagon, K Street (the gathering place of lobbying companies in Washington, DC), military enterprises and the entire Capitol are quietly opening champagne to celebrate." The world will pay for this for a long time. American interest groups justify the huge defense expenditure by increasing tension, inciting politics of fear of Russia and "demonizing" means, and promote the increase of arms expenditure.

  American arms companies spend a lot of money on political lobbying. According to the data of the "Open Secret" website, in 2021, Raytheon spent about $15.4 million on federal lobbying activities, while Lockheed Martin spent more than $14.4 million. Eric sperling, executive director of just foreign policy, an American anti-war organization, said that the US military-industrial complex exported a large number of weapons to Ukraine and other regions and benefited greatly from the Ukrainian crisis. The military giant is an important driving force behind America’s belligerence.

  Comments on the website of People’s World in the United States point out — —

  The Russian-Ukrainian conflict may be right in the heart of major oil and gas companies in the United States and other western countries. These companies hope that the war will bring them huge new profit opportunities.

  By provoking the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the United States has caused the global energy market price to skyrocket, and American oil and gas companies have earned a lot from the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.

  The US "People’s World" website commented that the Russian-Ukrainian conflict may be in the middle of the major oil and gas companies in the United States and other western countries. These companies hope that the war will bring them huge new profit opportunities. At present, multinational oil and gas monopolies such as ExxonMobil, Shell and BP, as well as related networks of drilling and transportation companies, are all trying to seize Russia’s oil and gas export share.

  Before the Russian-Ukrainian conflict broke out, Frank Macchiarola, an official of the American Petroleum Association, announced that American oil and gas producers could help fill any production gap caused by the Ukrainian war. He admitted that before the conflict, American oil and gas companies could not compete with Russian energy companies at all.

  Reuters reported that after the outbreak of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the EU set the goal of reducing its dependence on Russian natural gas by two thirds this year and ending all Russian fossil fuel imports by 2027. In late March, the United States and the European Union announced that the United States would provide an additional 15 billion cubic meters of liquefied natural gas to the European Union this year.

  On the one hand, the United States requires EU countries to stop importing Russian oil; on the other hand, it is silently increasing its imports. According to us energy information administration’s data, from March 19th to 25th, the United States imported 43% more oil from Russia than the previous week, reaching 100,000 barrels per day.

  "For western energy giants, this geopolitical earthquake may mean a huge profit premium." The US People’s World website commented that "the oil and gas giants won and we all lost", and the global oil price once hit a new high in 14 years. Americans will pay more at gas stations and convenience stores, while public funds will be used for arms instead of social needs.

  Many American politicians also benefited from the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Egyptian writer Khalil anany described some American politicians as "war brokers". He said: "It is in the interests of these politicians to provoke war rather than stop it, so as to ensure the sustainability of their profits and the increase of returns in bank accounts." "Business Insider" website reported that many US congressmen, including John rutherford and marjorie Green, bought shares of Raytheon and Lockheed Martin before the conflict broke out. Senator john hickenlooper has long held shares in Raytheon.

  A commentary on India’s TFI Global News Network said that it is "shameless" for so many US congressmen to have commercial interests in the defense industry, which has helped them make a lot of money. "For US congressmen, in the contest between morality and money, the latter is always the winner."

  Peter Kuznik, Professor of History at American University — —

  Inciting the conflict between Russia and Ukraine is a big business for the United States, and its foreign policy-making has been kidnapped to a great extent by the military industrial group.

  Sputnik news agency & radio’s article analyzes that the US is increasing its military assistance to Ukraine in the hope that Ukraine will continue to fight. The longer the situation lasts, the more strategic and economic benefits the US can maximize.

  Turkish writer and political scientist Suleiman Seyfi Eryun wrote recently that the Russian-Ukrainian conflict has injected vitality into American military enterprises, and the soaring oil and gas prices have brought more income to American energy companies, so the United States does not want the war to end.

  Peter Kuznik, a professor of history at American University in the United States, hit the nail on the head and pointed out that provoking the Russian-Ukrainian conflict is a big business for the United States, and its foreign decision-making has been kidnapped to a great extent by the military industrial group. "The logic of war wealth permeated with blood has become an incurable disease in the United States."

  American media reported that there are more than 4,000 lobbying groups of the military-industrial complex active in American politics. The military-industrial complex not only has the ability to ensure that its own interests are not affected by the change of government, but also can often prevent government decisions that want to touch its cake, even if these decisions are in the public interest. American Magazine reported that the United States spends far more on military affairs than any other country, and every year it stirs up conflicts around the world in order to export weapons worth tens of billions of dollars. The conflict between Russia and Ukraine will increase the defense budget of NATO member countries and bring huge business opportunities to US military industrial enterprises. The budget provided by the United States for the Ministry of National Defense in fiscal year 2023 also increased by 4%.

  Spinney pointed out that the Pentagon’s "budget maximization strategy" has made the US political economy more dependent on defense expenditure. Former US President Eisenhower realized this "grotesque distortion" in 1961. He once said that the emergence of a powerful military-industrial complex may one day threaten American democracy itself.

  "More and more wealth continues to flow to large companies such as Boeing, Raytheon and Lockheed Martin, and these companies are happy to hire retired American generals as board members." William Astor, a retired Lieutenant Colonel of the US Air Force, criticized that the US government has a consistent practice of military Keynesianism, that is, providing jobs and wealth for a relatively few people at the expense of the interests of the majority. Astor pointed out that over the past 60 years, the United States has wantonly used weapons against people who can’t fight back with the same weapons, while the US military-industrial complex has made huge profits from it. The U.S. government keeps lying and lacks accountability for military failures, and important government or military officials basically never take responsibility. The war launched by the United States caused great damage in the world, but the life of American workers failed to improve.

  Julio Rios, a Spanish expert on international issues, pointed out: "Washington is the biggest winner of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. The United States is setting someone else’s fire, accounting for its own account, and playing ‘ Many birds with one stone ’ Small abacus. "
