This crisis created billions of arms sales which is a success for some, especially as it made the other scandal go away.

This crisis created billions of arms sales which is a success for some, especially as it made the other scandal go away.
Arms sales where? The non-US arms companies are the biggest winners, namely South Korea and European companies. The US not only threatened its allies, it also pulled ammunition from bases and order pipelines so European nations are picking up even more speed with de-risking from the US arms corporations.
US/IL need to replenish their stocks because they used way more missiles than expected. That's big business.
