Now that Donald Trump is returning to a second term as U.S. president, ascertaining the true state of Russia’s war economy is more important than ever. Trump’s advisors believe that Ukraine must settle for peace by whatever means necessary “to stop the killing.” Implicit in this argument is the view that Russia has the ability to sustain the war for many years to come. On close examination of the evidence, however, the narrative that Russia has the resources to prevail if it so chooses does not hold.

The apparent resilience of the Russian economy has confounded many strategists who expected Western sanctions to paralyze Moscow’s war effort against Ukraine. Russia continues to export vast quantities of oil, gas, and other commodities—the result of sanctions evasion and loopholes deliberately designed by Western policymakers to keep Russian resources on world markets. So far, clever macroeconomic management, particularly by Russian Central Bank Governor Elvira Nabiullina, has enabled the Kremlin to keep the Russian financial system in relative health.

At first glance, the numbers look surprisingly strong. In 2023, GDP grew by 3.6 percent and is expected to rise by 3.9 percent in 2024. Unemployment has fallen from around 4.4 percent before the war to 2.4 percent in September. Moscow has expanded its armed forces and defense production, adding more than 500,000 workers to the defense industry, approximately 180,000 to the armed forces, and many thousands more to paramilitary and private military organizations. Russia has reportedly tripled its production of artillery shells to 3 million per year and is manufacturing glide bombs and drones at scale.

Despite these accomplishments, Russia’s war economy is heading toward an impasse. Signs that the official data masks severe economic strains brought on by both war and sanctions have become increasingly apparent. No matter how many workers it tries to shift to the defense industry, the Kremlin cannot expand production fast enough to replace weapons at the rate they are being lost on the battlefield. Already, about around half of all artillery shells used by Russia in Ukraine are from North Korean stocks. At some point in the second half of 2025, Russia will face severe shortages in several categories of weapons.

Perhaps foremost among Russia’s arms bottlenecks is its inability to replace large-caliber cannons. According to open-source researchers using video documentation, Russia has been losing more than 100 tanks and roughly 220 artillery pieces per month on average. Producing tank and artillery barrels requires rotary forges—massive pieces of engineering weighing 20 to 30 tons each—that can each produce only about 10 barrels a month. Russia only possesses two such forges.

In other words, Russia is losing around 320 tank and artillery cannon barrels a month and producing only 20. The Russian engineering industry lacks the skills to build rotary forges; in fact, the world market is dominated by a single Austrian company, GFM. Russia is unlikely to acquire more forges and increase its production rate, and neither North Korea nor Iran have significant stockpiles of suitable replacement barrels. Only a decision by China to provide barrels from its own stockpiles could stave off Russia’s barrel crisis.

To resupply its forces, Russia has been stripping tank and artillery barrels from the vast stockpiles it inherited from the Soviet Union. But these stockpiles have withered since the start of the war. Combining current rates of battlefield loss, recycling from stockpiles, and production, Russia looks set to run out of cannon barrels some time in 2025.

Russia is consuming other weapons, too, at rates far faster than its ability to produce them. Open-source researchers have counted the loss of at least 4,955 infantry fighting vehicles since the war’s onset, which comes out to an average of 155 per month. Russian defense contractors can produce an estimated 200 per year, or about 17 per month, to offset these losses. Likewise, even Russia’s expanded production of 3 million artillery shells per year pales in comparison to the various estimates for current consumption at the front. While those estimates are lower than the 12 million rounds Russian forces fired in 2022, they are much higher than what Russian industry can produce.

We do not know when Russia will hit the end of the road with each equipment type. But there is little the Kremlin can do little to stave off that day. With the Russian economy essentially at full employment, Russian defense companies now struggle to attract workers. To make matters worse, these companies are competing for the same personnel as the Russian armed forces, which need to recruit 30,000 fresh troops each month to replace casualties. To this end, the military is offering lavish signing bonuses and greatly increased pay. Defense producers, in turn, have had to increase wages fivefold, contributing to an inflation rate that reached 8.68 percent in October.

Paradoxically, the same factors that are converging to restrict Russia’s ability to wage war also mean that it cannot easily make peace.

Russia’s economic performance—marked by low unemployment and rising wages—is a product of military Keynesianism. In other words: Vast military expenditures, which are unsustainable in the long term, are artificially boosting employment and growth. Almost all the new jobs are related to the military and produce little of value to the civilian economy, where most sectors have great difficulty finding workers.

Defense spending has officially jumped to 7 percent of Russia’s GDP and is projected to consume more than 41 percent of the state budget next year. The true magnitude of military expenditures is significantly higher. Russia’s nearly 560,000 armed internal security troops, many of which have been deployed to occupied Ukraine, are funded outside the defense budget—as are the private military companies that have sprouted across Russia.

Paring back these massive defense expenditures, however, will inevitably produce an economic downturn. If the Kremlin draws down the armed forces to a sustainable level, large numbers of traumatized veterans and well-paid defense workers will find themselves redundant. The experience of other societies—in particular, European states after World War I—suggests that hordes of demobilized soldiers and jobless defense workers are a recipe for political instability.

The magnitude of the post-war Russian recession will be all the worse because Russia’s civilian economy—particularly small- and medium-sized firms—has shrunk due to the war. In a phenomenon familiar to economists, high defense expenditures have bid up salaries and attracted labor away from nondefense firms. The Russian Central Bank’s policy of raising interest rates, which currently stand at 21 percent, has made it much more difficult for nondefense companies to raise capital through loans. In post-war Russia, a shrunken civilian sector will not be able to absorb the soldiers and workers cast off by the military and defense sector.

Therefore, Russia’s leaders face an unenviable set of dilemmas entirely of their own making. Russia cannot continue waging the current war beyond late 2025, when it will begin running out of key weapons systems.

Concluding a peace agreement, however, poses a different set of problems, as the Kremlin needs to choose between three unpalatable options. If it draws down the armed forces and defense industries, it will spark a recession that could threaten the regime. If Russian policymakers instead maintain high levels of defense spending and a bloated peacetime military, it will asphyxiate the Russian economy, crowding out civilian industry, and stifle growth. Having experienced the Soviet Union’s decline and fall for similar economic reasons, Russian leaders will probably seek to avoid this fate.

A third option, however, is available and likely beguiling: Rather than demobilizing or bankrupting themselves, Russian leaders could instead use their military to obtain the economic resources needed to sustain it—in other words, using conquest and the threat thereof to pay for the military.

Plenty of precedents exist. In 1803, French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte ended 14 months of peace in Europe because he could not afford to fund his military based on French revenues alone—and he also refused to demobilize it. In 1990, Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein similarly invaded oil-rich Kuwait because he could not afford to pay the million-man army that he refused to downsize. In both cases, the mirage of conquest seemed attractive for sustaining overly large defense establishments without having to pay for them.

Russia could likewise exploit its expanded military to extract rents from other states. Even though Russia is running out of key weapons systems for its all-out war on Ukraine, its forces will still be capable of punctual acts of aggression. Indeed, it’s easy to imagine how Russia might pursue such a policy.

Substantial offshore gas reserves have been discovered in the Black Sea within Ukraine’s and Georgia’s internationally recognized exclusive economic zones (EEZs). Whenever Western states are distracted by other priorities, Russia could also renew its aggression against Ukraine in order to gain control of its agricultural, gas, and rare-earth resources. Finally, Russia might use threats of force rather than actually fighting in order to coerce European states to withdraw sanctions, unfreeze Russian assets, or reopen gas and oil pipelines.

Some important lessons emerge. First, Russia’s economy cannot indefinitely sustain its war against Ukraine. Labor and production bottlenecks will condemn Russia to defeat as long as Ukraine’s allies sustain it beyond the second half of 2025. Contrary to the myth of infinite Russian resources, the Kremlin’s armies are far from unbeatable. But Russia’s defeat demands a level of Western patience and commitment that a combination of vacillating Western leaders and volatile domestic politics renders questionable.

Second, the cessation of full-scale fighting in Ukraine will not end the West’s problems with Russia. Russia’s supersized military sector incentivizes the Kremlin to use its military to extract rents from neighboring states. The alternatives—demobilizing and incurring a recession or indefinitely funding a bloated military and defense industry—pose existential threats to Putin’s regime.

However Russia ends its current war, the country’s economic realities alone will generate new forms of insecurity for Europe. Far-sighted policymakers should focus on mitigating these future threats, even as they focus on how the current round of fighting in Ukraine will end.

Israel records $12.5 billion in defense exports, led by drones, air defense

Abraham Accord partners account for a jump in Jerusalem's sales.

JERUSALEM — Israel’s defense exports reached a record high of $12.5 billion in 2022, according to the Israeli Ministry of Defense, led by keen global interest in drones and air defense systems.

An MoD report released today also noted continued growth in a new, big market for Israeli tech: Abraham Accords countries in the Gulf that bought approximately $3 billion-worth of defense platforms. This means that since the peace deals were signed in 2020, sales to countries that Israel has new ties with are now almost as high as all of Israel’s $3.6 billion in sales back in 2005.

Overall “Israeli defense exports have doubled in less than a decade and increased by fifty percent in three years,” the Ministry said. Israel has been a leader in drone exports for decades, owing to the fact the country was a pioneer in UAVs in the 1980s and also a leading developer of loitering munitions.

RELATED: Latest tests of Israel’s maritime Iron Dome take aim at ‘future’ threats

Even with competition from China, Turkey and other drone manufacturers, the Israeli report says around one quarter of the agreements signed in 2022 were for UAVs and drones. Israel’s three large defense companies — Elbit Systems, Rafael Advanced Defense Systems and Israel Aerospace Industries — all play a role in the UAV and counter-UAV market. Elbit makes the large Hermes 900 drone, and IAI sells the Heron line of drones. Rafael is a part owner of Aeronautics with makes the Orbiter line.

“The remarkable data unveiled by the Israeli defense establishment, reaching new heights in defense exports, showcases the State of Israel’s strength and excellent technological capabilities. Through the creativity and innovation of both the Israeli defense establishment and the Ministry of Defense, we not only outpace our adversaries but also sustain our qualitative edge,” said Minister of Defense, Yoav Gallant.

Israel has approximately 120 defense companies, including many smaller companies that focus on unique technologies, such as radars, or sights for rifles and C-UAS systems. Israel’s defense sales are led in some cases by government-to-government deals, such as the May deal between Israeli and Dutch ministries of defense for $305 million-worth of Elbit-made PULS Rocket Artillery Systems.

How would a free market or socialist economy work? They sound nice but we don't have either in my country, the USA.

The government's fate is tied to the health of the economy, regardless of what kind of ism you prefer.

Liberalism, capitalism, socialism, communism, whatever, it needs an efficient clean energy economy or it will explode and collapse, sooner or later.

Wouldn't we need to have a system of charging biobatteries with clean energy instead of using petrofascist infrastructure to truly call ourselves free market or socialist?

Has liberalism itself failed in the struggle against electricity monopolies and petrofascism?

Yes and, to speak to the original comment, I'm agreed that criminal justice should be rehabilitative not punative, yet that is already the doctrine in the USA, but not the practice de facto. We need a more nuanced convo about police accountability and a reminder that the US penal system is vastly corrupt if those questions are getting asked...here's a question, aren't we going to need fossil fuel to make the casings for our organic batteries? Nope, because:

Fun fact, plastic can be made from hemp instead of fossil fuels!

All our economies will flourish with abundant solar and wind charging organic, compostable batteries. We would leave the petrofascists to apply for unemployment insurance benefits. Fine by me, I'm glad that safety net is there for them, remember that when those petrofascists will complain we are killing them and their industry, yet that's what they did to our industry 1900-1920, killing electric rail and monopolizing energy storage.

Consider that our energy is literally monopolized, and how absurd that is, and how profound that is.

Our local electric monopoly bill is due soon, better pay their demands and not ask questions, god forbid we would have a choice for our electricity.

Free markets? What are those? Sounds nice.

The struggle for socialism vs liberalism is a philosophical discussion while we have neither, and our energy is literally being monopolized by fascists.

Lemme jostle some matrix plugs in some brains out there, the electric company monopolizes our energy.

This is a profound insult worthy of revolt, and that revolt would receive landslide public approval yet it would be met with gunpoint by the vastly outnumbered petrofascist skeletor seal-team-6.

Welcome to the borderlands, where sugar biobatteries are 10x as efficient as lithium ion, and we can charge those batteries with abundant wind and solar distrubuted out in key urban and suburban places with existing foundations, but we're stuck buying monopolized electricity, reading blogs by Warren Buffet and Bill Gates thinking they're the "good" billionaires, we're stuck buying monopolized gas, and EVs made with batteries of lithium ion which is inferior for not only being 10x weaker physically than sugar batteries, but also much more harmful to the environment.

Here lies the extent of the waters of western liberalism, that the United States of America was founded on, this is the far-frontier beach of the edge of that unfinished American Revolution, this is where the boats floated to, on this beach we stand on a continent of western authoritarianism and petro-fascism, time to fill that gas tank at one of 4 suppliers or you can't go to work, and then pay the electric monopoly bill without receiving equity or voting power because de facto it's illegal to build clean infrastructure on this continent, this is the center of the front line of our battle, this is how the economy can work and you can call that gov't whatever children's philosophy vocab -ism you like it lives or dies with the health of its energy economy, both in the revolutionary struggle as their tanks run out of gas on the battle field and ours escape with clean energy before the mega artillery rains down like a monsoon; and this is how we thrive in the peacetime economy after; this is how to actually win the struggle against petrofascism by charging hard here and never stopping...

I know the names of my ancestors who fought in the American revolution but it's still not finished

Hey bro/ster I'm super sorry to have to be the one to break this to you, but uh sometimes being a socialist means, you know, putting your dreams of terrorism down for a minute and talking about public policy and how your proposed form of government would like, uhhhhh................ work.

1. Trying to separate Musk from his companies is a fool's errand. Starship wouldn't be being built if not for Musk. It fills no extant niche in the space launch market.

2. Starship will likely never go to Mars. Musk is a marketing expert, so he says it will. But getting the entire ship to Mars requires at least a few refueling flights - probably at least 8. That's insane. Falcon Heavy and SLS can throw at bare minimum 10 and 18 tons to Mars in a single launch respectively. That's while weighing 30 and 50 as much as a single starship-super heavy.

3. Starship was not ready for flight. Sure, something might go wrong and the flight might not make it to orbit. But losing 8 of 33 engines during ascent indicates something was wrong. Failing to separate stages indicates something was wrong. Having the flight termination system fail to destroy the vehicle when activated is a huge problem. Utterly destroying your launchpad is as well. SpaceX knows how to do all of these things. Musk pushed for the launch either because he didn't care or because he needed something to distract from all of his other bad press.

4. The launch pad thing. There are five other historical or current launch vehicles in this class flown by two different countries, four of which were successful programs - humanity knows how to build launch pads to handle them. But pads 39A and 39B, used to launch Saturn V, Space Shuttle, and SLS, were expensive in both time and money. I can only imagine the pads used for N-1 and Energia were similarly expensive.

5. What is starship actually for, if not Mars? Starlink. V1.5 satellites launched on Falcon weigh about 300kg for 50-55 per Launch. V2 meant for starship? 1250kg. They've launched 21 on a Falcon 9, but they could probably fit over 120 on starship assuming they have the payload volume. Why is this important? So they can get as many satellites in orbit before mega constellations are (rightfully) outlawed.

6. I'm not done with the flight termination system thing. This is what we as a society have agreed on is the thing keeping your space rocket from becoming an artillery shell when things go wrong. If your rocket goes off course, it's what keeps debris from landing outside of the corridor cleared for the launch. And Musk's rocket fell for nearly a full minute after the FTS fired before it lost structural integrity and broke up. That's not okay. If you need proof that SpaceX knows how to FTS, go watch the Crew Dragon in flight abort test.

P.S. Euphemisms like "Rapid Unplanned Disassembly" have been in the space lexicon for much longer than Musk. It was popularized in modern times by Kerbal Space Program, and were mostly used as a tongue in cheek way to acknowledge you done fucked up. I despise Musk fans using it to minimize SpaceX's responsibility for their failures.

this is maybe the funniest thing to happen, ever. thank you spacex for once again pushing the boundaries of trashy scifi

Why is the center not working anymore?

About four or five years ago, Zhongtai suddenly became popular in the corporate world. At that time, people felt that this was an advanced system, which was tall and capable of concentrating efforts to accomplish big things.

Only two years ago, due to some chance, I saw some scenes, and my mind changed.

Scene 1 was at a meeting. Students HE Tuber from the business line stood up and angrily accused the "backpackers" sent by the R&D department. They were "in Cao camp and in Han Dynasty" and did not understand the needs of the business at all.

Scenario 2 was also a meeting. The business boss spoke eloquently and even said he was excited. However, the boss responsible for growth also sat at the conference table, and he remained unmoved for almost the entire process.

At that time, I felt that China and Taiwan might not work very well.

Sure enough, starting in 2023, those companies that took the lead in building the middle platform suddenly began to dismantle the middle platform. Now, I am afraid that some companies that have learned to build a middle platform are still in a mess, wondering whether they should continue to do so.

Let me tell you, in fact, everyone did not understand the meaning of Zhongtai from the beginning. This organizational form is not originally designed to improve efficiency. It is the power structure that enterprises need at a special stage.

First of all, the middle platform cannot reduce costs and increase efficiency for enterprises.

Although it is theoretically possible, in ecological enterprises, merging the same functional departments in different business lines with similar items does seem to avoid reinventing the wheel. For example, the same group of R&D personnel can perform development work for business lines at different stages, or departments that spend money such as growth and marketing public relations can concentrate their budgets and put them in a unified way to obtain lower prices.

But for companies in a fully competitive market, the efficiency shortcomings of the middle office are obvious, because it will cause the decision-making chain to be not only too long, but also complicated. Ultimately, people who hear the sound of artillery fire may not be able to call for fire support, or artillery fire cannot be deployed in time at critical moments of competition.

To give a simple example, in many companies, the growth department often gets a very large budget. But when the growth department is taken out and becomes a middle-office organization, one department will actually be responsible for the growth of multiple business lines. At this time, the first task of the growth department becomes to share the cake.

How much money should be spent on each business line and how to formulate a growth strategy are very technical tasks for the boss of the growth department.

Of course, the business boss hopes to give him as much support as possible. In fact, for the business, the most efficient way is to integrate all functions into one reporting line. Everyone in this chain is doing When making decisions, only one factor needs to be considered, which is whether it is beneficial to the business line. But if some functions are withdrawn, another situation will arise - an increase in internal transaction costs, because everyone no longer sits on the same bench.

So the business boss will go and communicate with the growth boss. But the reality is that there is no reporting relationship between them, and there is no question of who listens to whom. Everything has to be discussed, or decided by higher-level people on the reporting line.

Over the years, everyone has always discussed what good management is. In the final analysis, management that is in line with human nature is good management. And what is human nature? Individualism is part of human nature. Why so many companies have trust and cooperation as their values? In essence, it’s because in a huge organization, trust and cooperation are very difficult. You need to shout all the time and every month to penetrate into the blood of the organization.

Personally, I have doubts about many fashionable concepts and tools, including middle-office organizations and OKR. The concept of OKR sounds very good. Through top-down decomposition, a company can all aim at the goals of the top decision-makers, forming a pyramid structure in which strategy and execution are aligned.

If executed well, OKR can theoretically ensure a company's strategic focus and create synergy. However, realizing this scenario requires a prerequisite, that is, the top decision-maker will expose his true inner goals. This alone will probably stump 90% of Chinese bosses.

Because there is a deep shadow of Wang Yangming in Chinese business culture. Wang Yangming talked about the inner sage and the outer king, which means that the inner and outer parts of a person do not have to be unified. Of course, many bosses are actually the inner king and the outer sage. So which one should show the king's side or the saint's side? you guess.

The same goes for the middle office. When you think it requires execution efficiency from the organization, the result is not always the case because it puts people in different positions. But if the top level wants decision-making efficiency from the organization, then the middle office is a good choice.

Because the middle platform can help power achieve penetration.

If you pay a little more attention, you will find that the establishment of middle-level organizations often coincides with the transfer of power in the company.

Take JD.com for example. In 2018, Liu Qiangdong phased out of the business. He needed to give more authority to the management of the three major business lines at the time.

Especially for Jingdong Retail Group, Xu Lei was picked to become the CEO of this business unit that accounted for 95% of the group's revenue. As a professional manager, it should be said that there is a lot of pressure to become the successor of a company founder. In an interview a few years ago, Xu Lei told me that in the five months after he was promoted to the rotating CEO of JD.com, he did not issue any policy guidelines or administrative orders. "Although I know all the problems," he spent more time observing.

In the development of a company, it needs to have a consensus, including a consensus on values, a consensus on strategy, and a consensus on power. In layman's terms, it's who has the final say. The founder does not need to worry about this, because he is the natural consensus of the organization, "He is the boss."

But when professional managers take over the authority, they need to establish a system within the scope of authorization to allow the organization to reach a consensus. In a nutshell: founders have property rights, maximum voting rights, and Charisma-type reputation, and they can fight wherever they want; while professional managers only have authorization and rely more on the system.

Also in this year, JD.com began to establish a middle office. The supply chain units in technology and business were decoupled and became a middle office organization. The front office organization was a business scenario. The two parties were constantly recoupled and worked together to move forward. Since it is coupled, some external force is needed as support.

Of course, JD.com’s middle-end design is still relatively personalized. Generally speaking, the middle-end design of most companies is the technical middle-end and organizational middle-end, that is, the middle-end design of finance, human resources and R&D departments. The reason for this is also very simple. Whether it is a company or a business unit, the three core elements are always people, money and materials. People and money are easy to understand, while things refer to the means of production. For Internet companies, their core production material is software, and the R&D department ensures the implementation and iteration of this production material.

Therefore, when the finance, human resources and R&D departments are centralized, the business units are actually more focused on execution. If he needs to expand his business, he needs to seek budget, headcount and R&D support from the middle office. In addition to good popularity, what business bosses need most is support from the CEO.

In other words, the middle office takes advantage of the egoism in human nature, which will lead to an increase in internal transaction costs and an increase in friction within the organization. This friction will of course cause some energy dissipation, but it will also cause the entire The organization moves closer to the center, and decision-making power is centralized upward.

This is why, when Liu Qiangdong returned to the business, JD.com began to dismantle Zhongtai again. Because the founder is the consensus of a company, he no longer has to use bureaucracy to pay more friction costs to manage the river of power within the company.
