Should pay these workers properly before weapons spending

Yeah the Russians dont seem to want a return to the 90s. The aftermath of overthrowing putin would be a fiasco.

He might just find some juicy scapegoats, consolidate more power and move on.

Stop moving goal posts. Japan attacked first and it was a world war. China has not been attacked by Uighurs on the scale of a world war or any war for that matter.
