📝No, this is not free📝 On record military spending Almost everything has a price, which is perfectly illustrated by successive news about record military budgets and cuts to education and social spending along with the upcoming tax increases. Discussion of the justification for these measures can be reduced to a question of strategy. If it implies inflicting maximum damage on the opponent by the moment of reaching the "diplomatic solution" that Putin mentioned, then there is logic here. After all, destroying the Ukrainian economy primarily produces a long-term effect, making the opponent weaker even in case of a "freeze" and simplifying the resolution of the issue in the future. Additionally, this is in all respects cheaper than conducting mobilization. But if the strategy is to wait for the opponent to eventually collapse, we just need to apply a little more pressure with assaults in pairs, the result will only be a growth in one's own economic and social costs while maintaining the same front line. ❗️In simple terms: increasing military spending for a specific task and with the expectation that it won't be increased further, the population or business can still understand. But if this is endless growth in spending for the sake of growth without strategy, then "voting with their feet" will begin. After all, there are plenty of examples, even in recent history, of when one side managed to endure in war but completely lost the peace and lost all military gains here. And let the enemy make such mistakes instead. #Russia #Ukraine #economy ✈️ RU | ✈️ EN | ✉️ MAX ✉️ VK | ✉️ RuTube | ✉️ OK | ✉️ Zen 💸Support us Original msg Telegram Рыбарь 📝А за чей счет банкет?📝 Возможности вести войну не бесконечны О чем не стоит забывать при обсуждении стратегии «войны городов», так это о том, что она (как и СВО в целом) совершенно не бесплатна — достаточно посмотреть новости о планах очередного повышения…
