Moscow's $9.8B War Shopping Spree Beats Pyongyangâs Pocket Change
In a wistful episode of 'Who Wants to Buy More Guns?', Moscow flexed its war chest to the tune of $9.8 billion worth of arms plus actual troopsâpractically the Costco of conflict buying. Meanwhile, Pyongyangâs budget arrived slightly under $1 billion, an oddly cute pocket money allowance in the grand arms bazaar. Itâs as if Moscow went full luxury car showroom, while Pyongyang shopped at the dollar store. No brands named, no receipt drama, just two heavy hitters showing very different styles of war budgeting that would make even Wall Street's worst spenders jealous. I mean, who knew war spending could have such sticker shock?

If war spending were a dating app, Moscow just swiped right on the Lamborghini while North Korea is still trying to find a Honda Civic.
Moscowâs $9.8B arms bill says 'treat yourself,' Pyongyangâs $1B says 'Iâll just have the salad, thanks.'
