  1. His explanation totally wrong actually. Share of oil/gas in Russian economics is near 13%. A lot of course, but in general it is nothing. Also, Russia have all rest resources. And what is main, 3/4 of economics in state property. It means when Russia need tank, it go to own mine, get own free metal, melt it regards to own free energy and produce tank on own state factory (so state paid for tank to self). So, from Russian point of view, war cost nothing and it is irrelevant how many tanks country need to produce: 100, 1000 or 10000. Also, by industrial production it is 4th country in world with almost all available technologies, it produce everything, from nuclear icebreakers to spaceships. What it not produce, it with easy launch to production when need. It means Russia mainly represent classical autarky. Such economics can exist even if whole rest world will disappear. Germany have no left. After BRD occupied (sic!) DDR, regime sent own left to prisons, even more, specially exactly at same cells, where they were hold by nazis. Some kind of symbolism. It like with Leopards for UA. Germany promised 14 and then 88 tanks. Again symbolism for people who can read this. Germany now have only leftists, it is special kind of movement founded during Cold War mainly by CIA to destroy left movement. Tool. That’s why when Scholz openly pronounce nazi slogans (not German, but official UA copies from Germans) or quotes Rosenberg, there are no any reaction in Germany.
