I see it as a geopolitical clash between the USA and Russia, both countries that need the war, or better said the tension so that their economies thrive.
Both are losing field in influence because there are economies that are doing far more better than their own and the fastest and surest way to fuel the economy is the arms race. China, EU are more powerful from economic point of view than the USA and Russia. China is hard to crack where the EU is much more easier, with a Brexit and extremist rising in the East of it.
The ones that are suffering in the end are the poor people. Most the ones affected by the war. Also the tax payer are affected because weapons cost money. I'm not left, more on the center-right. I don't agree with war, or at least the war in this form.
