The didn't "spend", it was more of a barter economy on a large scale- for example industrial machinery from Poland to the Soviet Union paid in fertilizer. The whole block was aways short of currency to conduct transactions and the lack of it became one of the major reasons for its downfall.
It was the act of supreme stupidity to attack the country of Ukraine's size with 5 divisions when they needed 3x that. That's the problem with dictators surrendering themselves with yes men and loyal incompetents.
His other alternative is to show-trial all his generals and firing squad them. That provides scapegoats and gets his own ass off the hot-seat.
Then he can nominate some sad sap to "lead the invincible Russian army to victory" and kill that asshole too after a couple of months when nothing works out.
End result. Other people are blamed and killed. Putin is just fine. All is good.

They're not going to draft anyone, Darts.
That shit leads to the sort of bad stuff that happened in 1905 and 1917 when riots happened in Moscow and St P and then possibly some very important people get bad outcomes. Why have that shit when you can just blame and execute your generals??
those autoloaders seemed like such a good idea at the time lol
Why Do Russian Tanks Explode Violently When Hit?
Images from Ukraine show Russian tanks completely disintegrated after being hit. The catastrophic losses are the side-effect of a calculated design decision with the T-72 tank.

Not to mention that Putin is likely running low on generals, like tanks, artillery, shells and soldiers.
It will be a suicide move for Putin to have any draft. When it comes to a personal safety for the majority of population who did not want to think about politics or the war - they will start thinking about it.
Going back to Gorbachev: he was very popular during the first few years, but he was not ready to make big changes and people wanted them. With Yeltsin: he was very popular in the first few years, but the economic collapse (most people, myself included, literally lived on pasta and margarine) made people angry. So, when Putin offers them some food in exchange for freedom, the hungry people gave up freedom. I think, U.S. and Europe lost their chance to make Russia an ally in early 1990s when they treated it as a losing party in a cold war instead of a friend in need. And even now, U.S. and Europe worries too much about itself, otherwise they would be able to find a way to kill Putin: after all, he is not as hard to find as Bin Laden
Actually there was a thread on it not that long ago. About the same time as it was the headline of discussion on cnn and cp24. Here is a link to press release.
Ukraine: military endangering civilians by locating forces in residential areas - new research
We are Amnesty International UK. We are ordinary people from across the world standing up for humanity and human rights.
It’s so much easier to listen to Zelensky and go to terb and hysterically discuss all those “rapes” and “concentration camps” and other so called Facts from Ukrainian twitter.
Just like it is so much easier to justify,defend, find smart ass explanation to what Ukis were doing to Russian population in Donbas since 2014
And that specific report was so all over the news and Ukraine slandered the Un and Amnesty international and off course there was the big political drama all over the news. https://toronto.citynews.ca/2022/08/06/ukraine-amnesty-intl-report-sparks-furor-resignation/amp/
Simply amazing how all of the Ukraine conflict “knowledgeable” folks on here didn’t notice and now laughing like I’m imagining something…
