The interesting thing about this estimated $900 million a day is that this does not take into account Western sanctions, and what those are costing Russia. Much like Bush and the Republicans did in Iraq, it only takes one idiotic and pathological leader to devastate a nation financially.
Bin Laden knew this, and wanted to bankrupt America, and what happened after 9/11? Republicans sent us into Iraq.
Russia's invasion is now in its third month, and sustaining the military offensive requires approximately $900 million a day, Sean Spoonts, editor-in-chief of SOFREP, a media outlet focused on military news, told Newsweek.
Several factors play into that heavy price, according to SOFREP's estimate. That includes paying the Russian soldiers who are fighting in Ukraine; providing them with munitions, bullets and rockets; and the cost to repair lost or damaged military equipment. Russia also must pay for the thousands of critical weapons and cruise missiles that have been fired during the war, which run about $1.5 million apiece, according to Spoonts.
