Possible alternative reason for war in Eastern Europe?

First, this touches on a few angels, so I'm not sure if I categorized this correctly. If I have not, I apologize.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine has already lead to an increase in demand for ammunition and weapons, which has resulted in a strain on global ammunition supplies. If the conflict intensifies and leads to a full-scale war, the demand for ammunition and weapons from both sides could increase significantly, causing a shortage in the global market. Now it’s good that the world has come together to help a nation which is under attack by an aggressive expansionist federation, so I am not complaining about anyone helping Ukraine.

The conflict Is already causing a surge in demand for weapons and ammunition in neighboring countries, as they seek to support Ukraine and defend themselves from potential Russian aggression. This increased demand is likely to lead to higher prices and shortages of ammunition and weapons in the short term and a possible depletion of weapons and ammunition world wide in the short term. It is already impacting the global supply chain for ammunition and weapons.

I am now wondering if this burning of the world’s ammunition in a geographically contained area of western Ukraine is actually the goal of Russia or perhaps some more serious entity behind the scenes.

On one hand, it is leading to a complete destruction of all Soviet made weapons and platforms, but on the other hand nations around the globe are producing brand new weapons and defense systems. This leads me away from the Putin’s-plan scenario where ammunition is destroyed but instead to the guiding hand of fallen angels who want to cause us to produce far more ammunition for a coming war.

Alternatively it’s entirely possible that I am reading too much into this, and jts merely the beginning of WW3 being fought by proxy.

Because a large part of US aid money for Ukraine is stolen, much of which goes to the Bidens and Democrat party.

So it's all about playing the 4D chess game, is it? Russia truly is the Trump of nations.

looks to me the beneficiary is China.
they are threatening Taiwan.
they are establishing a presence in the Pacific.
they share a border with Russia.

a global shortage of ammo--especially in Russia--would be to Beijing's advantage.

I doubt Russia is experiencing an ammo shortage. Russia, China, and North Korea use 7.62 rounds and pretty much the same rifle for troops. Now Ukraine getting shipped weapons (allegedly) would be receiving NATO weapons which I can only speak with certainty about the US and .223 rounds. I am not sure what weapons the rest of NATO issues their troops, but except for former Soviet states which may still use 7.62 since those rifles (AK's) were in common use. Makes the idea of the US punishing gun manufacturing companies over the years pretty stupid.

The military industrial complex.
War machines are expensive and profitable. Somebody has to build them. The highest ups that are the heads of those somebody's are always behind the scenes watching for instable hot spots to fan the flames, and they see dollar signs in the smoke from those flames. These are the ones that truly do not desire peace in the world outside of their own personal world.

All NATO assault rifles are in 5.56 Even in places like Lithuania which uses the HK G36. Some specialist rifles come in different calibres but the standard is 5.56 not .223 they are not quite the same. Most battle rifles which are mainly used in a DMR role are 7.62x54 NATO standard while the old SovBlock 7.62X39 has a much shorter and tapered cartridge case, which is why the AK family classically has a banana magazine.
