Seems like it's kicked off a wave of defense spending and I have even seen a "defence-tech" fund announced. Getting early into that field may be one way, either through a defence focused startup, or as a software contractor. Start the security clearance process of you can.
The oil in Russia did not disappear off the face of the planet, it's just temporarily inaccessible. The global demand for oil did not disappear, there was just a supply shock of sociopolitical origin.
Sooner or later, Russia will either stop the invasion or be stopped. Regardless of which outcome occurs, the global oil market will begin to stabilize after the oil that exists in Russia starts flowing again.
It's not a stretch to guess that oil prices could easily drop back below $100/barrel once this occurs, even if just briefly, as the increased pumping by OPEC will take a couple days to be dialed back.
I'm not a financial advisor, and this is not financial advice, but I'm currently shorting oil.
Wood gassification is more attractive as gas prices rise. Granted, I think you need a vehicle with a carburetor rather than fuel injection but it's a very old technology that has been used for nearly a century. It does require wood and doesn't do anything for a Tesla though.
Weapons, weapons defense systems, communications, communication jammers, surveilence, camoflauge, detailed maps, sanctions enforcement, sanctions avoidance, are all going to be in increased demand if you want to sell to governments.
Communications, transportation, basic supplies, language/culture learning, immigration assistance, money transfer/remitances will probably be in increased demand if you want to sell to the displaced.
However practical this question is, I'm ashamed to see this in my feed.
There's a huge amount of suffering happening right now. Figure out how you can profit from it by yourself please.
