Ehkä konkurssin odottelu on vähän liioittelua, kun Venäjä taitaa olla vieläkin vähiten velkaantunut suuri maa maailmassa, jopa Kiinalla on muistaakseni suurempi julkinen velka. Venäjällä on myös yli 500 miljardin dollarin arvoinen valuuttavaranto* ja satoja miljardeja muissakin rahastoissa, budjetti oli edelleen 2012 ylijäämäinen ja talous yksi nopeimmin kasvavista suurista talouksista. Toki tänä vuonna kasvu näyttää sielläkin hidastuneen jonkin verran, eikä yleensä kovat puolustusmenot taloudelle erityisesti hyvääkään tee. Toisaalta tuo 4,4% osuus BKTsta on aika pieni, kun verrataan johonkin Israeliin, joka on pärjännyt paljon suuremmalla asemenojen rasituksella käytännössä koko olemassaolonsa ajan.

Israelilla on tietysti vähän pakkorakokin hommassa. Vaikka se on sotilaallisesti ylivoimainen naapureihinsa nähden, niin kauanko se pysyisi samana jos nyt lopettaisivat isolla kädellä maanpuolustuksen tukemisen.
Venäjällä on isot valuutta varannot, mutta aika yksipuolinen tuo talous heillä on.
Bellum kirjoitti:
Liioittelua tahi ei. Jos tuolla tavalla nimenomaan KASVATETAAN budjettia koko ajan niin kyllä siinä pää nousee vetävän käteen. Ja jos tuo kasvu ei kohdistu tarkoin ja taloudellisesti tehokkaasti ja mielekkäästi oikein niin sekin valuu venäläiseen liejuiseen hiekkaan. Mulla on vähän sellainen olo, että liian helposti syydetään ruplia sotateollisuuden ahnaaseen kitaan, joka on kuin MOLOK. Ja se on sitä kaikissa maissa, jos pitkäniskavillaiset kenraalit saavat yhdessä teollisuuden kanssa pähkäillä asioita ilman luista otetta niskavilloista.

Puolustusbudjetin hankintoihin varattua osuutta! Ne rahat pitää vissiin 95%:sti käyttää joko hankintoihin jenkkiyhtiöiltä tai sitten kehittääkseen teknologiaa mikä hyödyttää jenkkien intressejä. Ja sitten kun on jenkkien rahoilla on jotakin kehitetty, niin jenkit katsovat omaavansa tietynlaista sananvaltaa siihen, että kenelle niitä myydään, elleivät omi tekniikkaa kokonaan itselleen.
Ja kun ottaa huomioon, että kaluston ylläpidon pitää maksaa itse, niin varmasti se näkyy kansantaloudessa, mutta minkä suuntaisena?
