"Mr. Putin’s surprise pick to lead Russia’s sprawling defense ministry"
Sprawling huh? What do you call the MIC in the US then?
I absolutely love how there's never any self reflection from people writing these articles. US military spending absolutely dwarfs Russia, and here they are talking about how terrible this is for the economy. I wonder if their target audience will ever start connecting the dots.
No.
My expectation as well.
The difference being Russia actually does have a sprawling defense industry, the US is entirely a grift.
