Military spending is stimulating to the economy. The Russians realize this. Russia is a net exporter and a major lender to Europe, thus doesn’t have deficits. Furthermore, weapons sales and other raw materials can serve as cash cows. Finally, Iran is planning something to drive up the cost of oil back over $100/bbl.
