Russians Getting Financially Stronger, NATO Fails to Fund its Military
The Biden Administration and its major NATO allies incited the Russians into invading Ukraine in 2022 and expected to inflict massive pain on the Russian people.
The US State Department created one of the most retaliatory sanctions regime in history, expecting the Russian Ruble to collapse. But Russia has managed to find other global buyers for their products, while tripling military production.
Two years into the conflict, Russian military spending at 4.1% of GDP is now higher than every NATO member. As the war grinds on, most NATO members continue to not contribute the required 2% of GDP for military spending.
