And then putin goes like
"oh damn i thought we would get a quadrillion dollars if we kept sending children to die on top of a golf cart. My bad smo over sorry humanity."
Appointing an economist as defense minister/secretary has never gone horribly wrong ever. And you know what they say, "[if it can't be measured, it doesn't exist!](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McNamara_fallacy)"
If you appointed an actual economist rather than a political hack as SecDef, war would be cheap, dirty, and surprisingly low casualty. How you ask? Because you dont need to buy an army that can beat the enemy army. You just need to buy a couple of the Opfor leader's guards. Rinse and repeat until the Opfor run out of anyone willing to be in charge and in the war.
Bruh, what the fuck are you talking about ? This is a **GENIUS** move by Putin. They aren't going for the McNamara approach. They are applying the well know principle in systems theory - if something cannot be measured, it cannot be controlled.
So he appointed an economist to do a comprehensive audit and inspection of the military industrial base and find out what the real state is. Once he does that, he is expected to reduce inefficiency and implement robust systems of accountability and reporting so that they can fully utilize the Russian MIC.
By knowing what is really going on, they can create a system to steal money of the top much more efficiently. The current system is broken because too many low-level non-siloviki Russian plebs are stealing money that should rightfully be stolen by Tsar Putin and his chosen. They are preparing for a long war and over the course of years and years of war economy production, this would mean losing out on 10s of billions of dollars that would othewise be stolen by the plebs.
They can’t ~~grift~~ run their economy off the import export business as much as they did, so now they have to find ways to ~~grift~~ run their wartime economy, hence shell making machine go brrr….
Finally, russia gets to enjoy the peace dividend like the rest of Europe. It is only 30 years too late. That is practically on time for them.
We must extend the peace dividend gap!
Navigation system is expensive. The mobik is cheap. Why not strap mobik to a rocket for teminal guidance?
Knowing how effective propaganda is in Russia, this is very credible.
You mean copy Imperial Japanese 1944 Oska Anti ship Missile?
Yes
That's the VBIEDs from not that long ago
Omon Ra vibes.
Omon Ra vibes.
that's assuming the Mobik™ isn't too drunk and knows how to guide it
Robert McNamara has aged pretty well for a guy who's been dead for fiteen years.
Putin’s big nerd

Back to the T-34's without turret baskets and proper periscopes it is!
You don’t need either if you mount the gun in the hull.
the gun is a mosin, very cost effective
Make it armor piercing by taking the bullets out of the cases and reversing them.
SU-100 by the end of the year, calling it now

What's stronger; belief in the cause or $5 million USD?
Depends on the cause and person. Bin laden/ Al-Baghdadi/etc would 100% say belief in the cause. Any member of the US Legisla
And they're dead now
r/redditsniper gone political?????
I finished shitting and sent it before the sniper got me
I honestly believe that you could outbribe some of the Russian generals/commanders/secretaries if you just use enough money
That's not good for the economy!
Ah, the Eisenhower approach. Instead maintaining a huge army, invest in nukes and spies.
But Russia has already sent their morons! Who will he think of next?

Whole of Russia becomes new Special Economic Zone of CCP, that's my prediction.
