Once again 20 billion USD is not a big deal for Russia, even now. Unlike bridges, Novorossia can be founded only one time in history, and Putin would never miss the opportunity to give it a warm shoulder should he have a chance.Do you have a bridge for sale?
So, Russia, which is in deep recession, an unstable and dropping ruble and an unknown future economic state, has billions to throw around to Novorossiya (which has no economic system that can sustain itself nor any indications that it will soon?)? So, how much is your cheap bridge?
I meant the increased funding of the military is stipulated by the war with Donbas, and until they give it up as a bad idea they can’t drastically reduce these expenditures. For now they are doomed to squandering their very limiting financial recourses.According to you, the only one in deep economic trouble is the 'other part' of Ukraine? Um, okay....
