Russians – get ready. Putin goes after Maduro. More than a third of the entire budget of Russia is for the war!

More than a third of the entire budget of Russia is for the war!

On December 9, Putin finally urged Russians not to believe Konashenkov’s reports about the war in Ukraine. “You can’t trust anyone, only me,” he said.

Recall that this is the phrase of the chief of the Gestapo Muller on the television series in the USSR “Seventeen Moments of Spring”.

The cinematic Müller said this a couple of months before Germany’s surrender in World War II.

So Putin expects that he still has a little time, although he feels that there is a catastrophic lack of time. And he is trying to make up for it the way his “Soviet” consciousness tells him – by increasing military spending. ISW writes that the law on the federal budget of Russia, signed by Putin, noted that next year more than 9 trillion rubles ($143 billion) will be allocated for defense, security and law enforcement agencies.

This is a significant increase compared to previous years, now the war will take more than 30% of the entire budget of the Russian Federation.

Russians - get ready ! Putin goes after Maduro

Analysts suggest that Putin’s budget is overly optimistic in terms of expected revenues and expenditures. And therefore, the rest of the Russian budget (primarily social) will be further reduced in order to cover the priority costs of the war.

Although, in fact, where else to reduce them is unknown. The fact that the minimum wage in the Russian Federation is lower than in European countries (to the last inhabitant of which the Kadyrovites were going to fight) was expected.

But the minimum wages in Latin America, which Putin, as the self-proclaimed leader of the “global anti-colonial movement,” is now inspired to free from “American dominance” somewhere near Ukrainian Kurdyumovka, should really surprise ordinary Russians with their $241.

Costa Rica $541, Uruguay $494, Chile $455, Ecuador $425, Guatemala $396, Argentina $366, El Salvador $365, Paraguay $354, Bolivia $326, Honduras $300.

Therefore, so that Russian propaganda does not tell Latin America about the war in Ukraine with the “collective West”, these figures for Latin Americans should clearly indicate that the Russian Federation is the same Venezuela. Which also supports Putin’s Russia.

Recall that Venezuela, the richest country in the world with oil, has been experiencing a deep economic crisis for many years due to corruption and inefficient economic management. On November 30, President Nicolas Maduro proudly announced a 150% increase in the minimum wage in the country from December 1, from 1.8 to 4.5 thousand bolivars ($9.5).

So, the Russians – get ready.

They are still ahead.

Putin with the words “trust only me” is already following Maduro.

And for Latin Americans, God forbid, don’t fall for Russian propaganda.
