Russian Black Sea Fleet and Border Service of the Federal Security Service's prevention of the breach of the Russian Federation state border committed by the UK Navy destroyer «Defender».

Some nice opinion on this I agree with:

I am really worried about those who say, "It would be better if everything was given to the pensioners," referring to the costs of the inevitable arms race.

I am not against pensioners very much. I believe that pensioners should be given the salaries and property of top managers of Gazprom and PIK, the income of Cherchesov and similar guys, a percentage of gas and oil exports, food packages with Russian caviar and salmon, and so on. But there is no need to give away the money that goes into armaments.

On the contrary: the country must be armed in every possible way. We need a lot of machine guns, gun mounts, airfields, ballistic missiles, warheads, bombers, bomb shelters, armored vehicles, helicopters, military bases, hospitals, grenades, grenade launchers, pillboxes, drones, tankers, anti-aircraft missiles, engineering vehicles, fighters, cruisers, cruise missiles, flamethrowers, submarines, machine guns, radars, launchers, tanks, tankettes, self-propelled guns, sniper rifles, shells, tactical missiles, attack aircraft, destroyers and nuclear charges. This list is far from complete, but I ended up, primarily for the sake of the keeping sentence size manageable. It would also be nice to develop and have in service all sorts of inexpensive, but unexpected wunder wafers, for example, some kind of thing that would start with a mechanical key, funny jump into the location of enemies and turn ten or fifteen enemy soldiers there into mincemeat with eyes capable in the end, take a sober look at the prospects of a war with Russia on Russian territory ...

And for the funds that will be spent on all this, "giving out to pensioners" is by no means possible. Because if all these things are not there, there will be no Russian pensioners in the end. All these current people who now live in Uryupinsk, drink, bathe in an ice hole, wash in a bath, raise "heirs", go to church, cook borscht, do not vaccinate children, fry cutlets with buckwheat and repair in the evenings, their right-hand drive foreign cars - they will all be doomed to a senseless and dreary death! What scoundrel, what scumbag would want them such a fate ?!

But this is not so important either. The important thing is that without serious substantial armament of the country, any internal crisis will immediately turn into external intervention, as was the case during the Civil War. And it will be extremely inconvenient for the Russians to reflect this intervention with one horn of ammo for three. But the threat to nuke civilized peoples to the state of glass powder, so that they do not get into the internal affairs of drunken balalaika players, and roll out all remaining the on tanks tracks with small spikes is already a serious argument in order to stay away from the state borders of the future socialist state.
