The original post and my reply were specifically about the war in Ukraine and not the whole system but I'll take a bite out of that too.

By your logic a slave benefits from their master because he feeds them. Sure technically they're benefiting but they'd benefit much more from almost any other system. It may be a benefit but not a net benefit. The system takes more than it gives.

And then there's the word we again. You're making an assumption about who I am and where I live. Lots of people on this planet don't benefit from this system at all.
