    This doesn’t really seem all that bad to me. The US spent roughly 2.7 billion per week on the Iraq war based on some estimates (2.4 trillion over 17 years), which is the annual budget of Indiana. While Indiana isn’t a powerhouse in the US economy, it is still ranked 15th. So for the Iraq war, only 14 of US’s 50 regions had budgets that exceeded the country’s weekly spending.

    Russia should just covert to my local currency and wire it to me. It’ll make no different for their 3 day special military operation.

        Run as a right winger, especially an outright neo Nazi, in any EU or US country and they’ll ship a briefcase of cash to your door.

    I’m not sure this is useful information since Russia is mostly unpopulated with a few metropolitan areas? They have the money to keep the war machine going for a while longer.
