Like why don’t we talk about the warmongers fueling stuff in the Middle East, and laundering money through our greatest ally Israel?
Some of us talk about money wasted in Israel all the time. We are called antisemites and hamas lovers for doing so. Everyone is against the money we give Iran and the Taliban, though.
To answer your question, Ukraine is the most egregious violation, so it naturally gets the most attention.

It's not just money laundering directly. Many US companies already have contracts to rebuild from the destruction caused. More destruction there is, the more money they will get to "rebuild"

Money first goes to NGOs, non-profits and MIC companies. Specifically just off the top of my head: Atlantic Council Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) RAND Corporation German Marshall Fund of the United States (GMF) United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) Human Rights Watch (HRW) International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement Raytheon Lockheed Martin Northrop Grumman General Dyanmics Several European contractors coordinated by NATO. Fore example Leopard tanks from Germany and Challenger 2 tanks from the UK. Then these companies funnel part of the money back to politicians in the form of campaign contributions as these companies also hire friends and family of said politicians.
Look into the largest shareholders of the major defense contractors, then the companies that will be rebuilding.
The top of each list will be a combination of:
Blackrock
Vanguard
State Street

Escalate War -> Increased profits for MIC -> Substantial bonuses for MIC executives -> MIC executives contribute to PAC for warmongering politicians
Rinse and repeat
Fairly well sums it up.

Ever wonder how a bunch of useless politicians making $200K/year suddenly have nine figure net worths?

Ever wonder how the Ukraine sleezebag's wife drives a damn near 200k car?

Take what you hear about local and state politicians getting their palms greased and special favors from contractors, developers, etc.
Okay…that’s High School athletics. What they’re doing in DC is the NFL.
