they want to imlement dengism
They were also in ww2
and expand thier territory even more than putin is doing
oh yeah they want to increase the military bughet too
which is kinda funny
today they spend about 90 billion on defence
in the glory days they spnt 300 billion
second only to americans
they had lots of cool experimental stuff too
yeah
but itsn't their economy smaller?
and more intentionally dependent?
Soviet union spent 30% on their GDP on defence
also they spent a large chunk of their budget on financialy supporing their allies in 3rd world
all warsaw countries had acess to dirt cheap russian weaponry and oil and natural gas
hungary imho had a military that was vatsly bigger than they could support without russian financial aid
altho in any ww3 scenario hungaries job would be to guard Soviet flaks while the guards tank division crush NATO defenders in germany
@Imperial J. Yay yes, soviet eceonmy and currency were completly independant from west. they could only trade with their Wp and COMECON allies . however the russians did trade with west by bartering. they traded raw resources like titanium,oil,LNG/LPG and such in exchage from consumer electronics and computers and other more complex civillian technolgies. like the Dock that serves the russian crarrier. Itwas built in sweden.
the Soviets were quite obsessive when paying off their debts, they gave PEPSI a dozen naval warships to pay off their debt
hmm

new zeihan book
hype
(He's culturally bluepilled but 1000% redpilled on the economic realities of the coming century. Highly recommend his past couple books if you're even remotely interested in geopolitics)
I bought his book accidental super power a few weeks ago and I havenβt read it yet
