Moscow's $9.8B War Shopping Spree Beats Pyongyang’s 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 troops—practically the Costco of conflict buying. Meanwhile, Pyongyang’s budget arrived slightly under $1 billion, an oddly cute pocket money allowance in the grand arms bazaar. It’s 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?
