@Viet who keep predicting Russian collapse to no end Here is news for you Russia joined the rank of rich country
Yup war raises economic activity. I wish the West had learned its own history. America ended the 30 Depression because of WWII . But they did believe in their own cool aid and expected Russia to buckle under sanction and embargo. Big mistakes! Instead, Russia thrives and produces gazillion weapons that the West can never ever matchAlso, the world bank says Russia economic growth is mostly driven by war activity. The more destructions, the more war deaths, the more wounded, the better the economy will run. Of course the more tanks the better.
Russia economy is driven by massive increase of consumption. minimum wage is 200 euros per month. If going to military young or old men get ten times more, 2,000 euros per month. They spend more on consumption than before the war. Most russians feel happy. Nobody in Russia wants the war to stop.
Putin’s Russia today is much a drug addict on overdose.
