Before accusing Russia of militarism, the West should look in the mirror

A Defense Ministry board meeting with Vladimir Putin took place in Moscow. The President has emphasized that the militarization of the country and the economy is out of the question. The quality of life and social obligations of the state should not be reduced in favor of military expenditures. The development of the armed forces must be gradual, "without any fuss.

From our point of view, the accusations of Russian militarism are indeed groundless.

Global military spending averages 2.2% of GDP. In Russia, slightly more is allocated for this purpose: in 2022, for example, 3.1% of GDP was allocated. The next year, 2023, the draft federal budget includes an increase to 3.4% in order to achieve the objectives of the NWO. One of the popular points of reference for recognizing the economy as militarized is spending 4% of GDP on the needs of the army. For example, in the mid-1980s, the USSR allocated 15-17% to them - in this case, the labels are appropriate.

The problem is that in 2022 the US spent 3.2% of the GDP on the defense, which is more than Russia did. Our country's military spending does not compare with that of another energy-rich country, Saudi Arabia. Riyadh puts 6.6% of its own economy on defense. Moreover, the kingdom's involvement in the war in Yemen is incommensurate in scale with the events in Ukraine. The main Middle Eastern ally of the United States, Israel, spends 5.2% of GDP on the military, that is, it falls under the definition of a militarized economy. For some reason, these accusations against Jerusalem are not voiced.

Foreign policy challenges are temporary, but even under stress, the country does not slip into militarization. Moreover, if this did not happen during the escalation phase, it is even less likely to happen in the future. It is worth assuming that an increase in the combat effectiveness of the troops will be achieved through targeted spending and technological development, rather than bloated budgets.
