Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the change made sense because Russia was approaching a situation like the Soviet Union in the mid-1980s, when the military and law enforcement authorities accounted for 7.4% of gross domestic product (GDP).

USA was over 10 during the Vietnam War. That was a war of choice 10,000 miles away. The Ukraine operation is a war of necessity right on their border.

Old joke:
Stalin is viewing a May Day parade. The parade consists of hundreds of tanks and thousands of soldiers. In front of them all marches a group of men in civilian clothes and carrying briefcases.
Stalin: Who are those men?
Aide: Comrade Stalin, they are economists
Stalin: Why are they at the front of the parade?
Aide: It’s because economists are the most dangerous men of all.

This is the second post I’ve seen about this. Meghanmarklemus’ posting pattern indicates we should see at least five more over the next day or so.

The war AND the economy must be going so well to have to sack your top warmonger and best buddy. Witness the shrill responses from the Putin lovers here trying to ruin FR with their personal attacks and lies.
These news stories are like Holy Water to vampires for them.
