Your point was that Ruzzia was having plenty of income, I showed how it is having plenty of expenses caused by the war. The way the deficit is balanced as anywhere else is by cutting on social expenditure (LOL). There is no magic trick. Also, I guess you consider as ok to have Moscow airport closed for hours or even days due to drone risks and factories blown-up from time to time, ...
You are lying, the social part of the budget in Russia was not cut in 2022 and 2023, and at least for the next three years the Russian budget will remain socially oriented.
Ill tell you more, the budget for next year in Russia is a development budget. Stop fantasizing, Western sanctions against Russia have failed, just like the Ukrainian counter-offensive. Find the courage to face reality.
Today Putin flew to Abu Dhabi and in his honor F16 fighters painted the Russian tricolor in the sky lol.
Regarding the numbers you provide... well, you know... if you say so. In any case people joining Wagner which is NOT new and has been operating for at least a decade all over Africa speaks of the need of the poorer regions to make their living even if it risk being killed.
Your words only confirm your complete ignorance of the subject of the conversation. I'm talking about volunteers who enter into contracts with the Russian Ministry of Defense, not about Wagner.
Sure, I am lying *wink *wink, Russia has the miraculous ability of creating money out of the air so they can spend more in social, more in the war, more in whatever but at the same time balancing the budget (LOL again).
...
As for the loss of manpower, its always unpleasant. But in 2023, for the first time in its history, Russia formed a mercenary contract army, to which at least 20 thousand people a month voluntarily join, and now Russia has a significant advantage in manpower over Ukraine, if we count the directly involved soldiers on the contact line.
You have clearly stated you spoke a private military force. It is definitely not the first time.
Now you speak of the Mod while calling me an ignorant on the matter. You should do a sense check of this thread. If you can call apples to a banana, but it is yellow and tastes of bannana - these people joining are regulars and it simply means that the "patriotism" is extinct, the convicts are diminishing and now it is time to offer the equivalent of 7000 sign-up bonus with 3 to 4000 a month for anyone crazy enough to sign-up to be what is in fact a regular.
20000 people a month you say. I really need to get proof of that - do not bother, you do not have it, you probably got that from TwitterX and Ruzzia does not publish the number of losses.
...
In the case of geographically close countries in different weight categories, this works like gravity - you cannot just decide to choose a different source of influence, this will inevitably have consequences.
Well, it seems your theory is not 100% robust, unless you still call this a "Special Military whateverthef**k".

To match the level of relevance, my uncle is recovering very well from his knee surgery.
Branko, there is not any fact.
