Once you add in what other allies and Ukraine itself has spent, Russia is spending far less money in Ukraine than Ukraine and its allies are.
It’s also important to remember that Ukraine’s pre war GDP was about $150 to $200 billion dollars, and now their economy has been almost entirely mobilized toward the war effort, which is still significant even after a 30% reduction in Ukraine’s GDP. The Ukraine is essentially a NATO military base at this point and the best funded on the planet.
With the economy of Russia returning to growth, this year, the idea that Russia is “collapsing” or being brought down by this conflict is a farce being thrust upon the people in the West to give them the illusion that they’re winning in some way by supporting Kyiv.

So the yanks have ruined one of the most developed and industrialised Soviet republics and organised their military presence there, all while selling the remnants to financial capital, tightening the leash on their “allies” and torpedoing those European economies that were competing with the USA.
Sounds like a win for the moneybags in MIC and Wall Street
this was actually a really great summary of what the west did to Ukraine since the 90s https://archive.ph/2ppei
Yog, I just gotta say you are an inspiration. I love what you do for the community here.
Thanks, glad to hear it’s appreciated. :)
I believe we’re up to at least $115B
Some people are making really good money off all this.
I have a friend who had a good few months on some investment he did. He didn’t know what exactly he was investing in so he went to check with his bank who delegates the whole thing. Weapons. He’s investing in weapons.
oof
The NATO side keep delaying the due date for the collapse of Russia so I know that Russia will not collapse. I could guess that the NATO is projecting the collapse of puppet Kyiv government to Russia. I could believe that the USA is wasting taxpayer money for terrorist operation in Ukraine since they spend more on military war than the 10 richest countries combined contrary to their liberal principle for win-win peaceful co-operation and spending on private sector.
At this point there’s a lot more evidence to suggest that it’s the west headed for an economic crash than Russia.
I know some well-known evidence like the mass shift towards Socialism even when Western European diaspora receive indoctrination that Socialism means command economy or absolute authority by one people instead of the original meaning of government by working class. Ironically, the USA secretly the original meaning of Socialism as a typical criteria to decide whether a country is Socialist despite the different definition of Socialism that they provided. The mass distrust towards Pax Americana, dependancy on the Western European diaspora oligarch, and authoritarian approach to international relations are more obvious hints of the demise of Pax Americana.
Such generous humanitarians.
