There will be more than enough money to go around. Don't worry.

@kjetiljakobsen5517 That industry creates millions of very well paying jobs, kid. What's there not to like? Unless, of course, you are sitting in a Russian tank in Ukraine, right now. That is a really bad place to be. Booom! :-)

Well, Putin wanted war and the US and European arms manufacturers will benefit. Easy.

Americans have more than enough food. Not sure about the Russians, though. There may be hunger coming to Mother Russia, again.

@erickrobertson7089 One can't hide a military from satellites kid. Oh, wait, Russia doesn't have any working satellites. ;-)

There are historically relevant reasons why nobody wanted Germany to go too high on military spending. Remember what happened the last time they did that? ;-)

@jonny2954 No, they didn't. Germany never had a professional army during he cold war. It was all conscripts with a small number of officers.

@jonny2954 You clearly don't know anything about the Germany army during the cold war, kid. It was cannon fodder in a potential WW III scenario to buy the US and the USSR approx. one week to decide if they wanted to take the conflict nuclear. It was also entirely defensive in nature. Nobody expected 18 year old kids with four weeks of training to be an effective ground force. The German air force was largely symbolic with none of the advanced support that the US had. :-)

@jonny2954 You really don't know anything about the Bundeswehr, kid. You sure have never been in the military, either. :-) Of the three months of "training" that you claim two months were equipment cleaning. An average Bundeswehr kid fired less than 500 shots in his entire military career, of which half were blue plastic training bullets. They didn't have money for more ammunition. :-) On the other hand I have seen three US soldiers at a shooting range bang a machine gun barrel to death all day long, emptying one crate of ammo after another. I went there to ask them what they were doing while the poor gun was cooling down. They said they had too much old ammo and that by regulation it had to be disposed of in an active training exercise. Now that was some good shootin'. :-)

Putin just gave the US an additional trillion dollars in aerospace, defense and high-tech revenue. He most likely also created a million jobs around the world... just not in Russia, which is growing broke, right now. :-)
