Russia sprinkled a billion!The result?
Russia sprinkled a billion!It's not a joke, it's a real thing. On December 29, they launched 122 missiles, comparable to the largest air raid since the Russian-Ukrainian war. When I heard that the operation cost a billion dollars, I wondered what kind of anger could have made them so desperate
The indiscriminate bombardment caused more than 100 civilians** in Ukraine, as well as the destruction of hospitals, churches, schools and factories. How crazy does this have to be to spend a billion dollars in a day?What the hell are the Russians angry about?
Some netizens commented: "This air raid is simply full firepower, and it almost didn't take the earth as a target." "Indeed, a billion dollars is not a small amount for Russia, especially considering that their military spending in peacetime is only five or six hundred billion, and even if there is a significant increase in military spending in 2024, it will only be 120 billion dollars.
The Russians are really angry this time. But the question is, what exactly did this indiscriminate bombardment bring to the Russians?Is it really worth the money?
First, they plan to strike at Ukraine's civilian infrastructure and create social unrest, but Ukraine's air defense progress this year is not half a star. Russia originally wanted to paralyze Ukraine, but it may have suffered a big blow itself.
Secondly, Ukraine actually dares to fight back!Massive air strikes on Belgorod in an instant, killing more than 100 Russians**. Before, Russia thought that only they were qualified to attack civilian targets in Ukraine, but they did not expect that Ukraine would fight back, and they would fight harder.
Russia's representative to the UN also reported to the Security Council about this, saying that "the Ukrainian army has killed the Russians!"."What's going on?I thought I could act recklessly, but I didn't expect Ukraine to dare to fight with them, and as a result, the Russians themselves became victims.
More importantly, this incident has once again reminded the world of the urgency and necessity of assisting Ukraine. In the face of Russia's indiscriminate bombardment, Britain was the first to react by announcing the sending of hundreds of anti-aircraft missiles to Ukraine, ensuring that they have the ** they need to defend themselves against brutal bombardment. Biden also urgently urged Congress to act: "Russia's goals have not changed, they are trying to destroy Ukraine, to subjugate the Ukrainian people, and we must stop him." ”
At this time, Russia has spent a billion dollars, although it has caused huge losses to Ukraine, but it has also attracted an unprecedented fat beating. Moreover, this is like a "shot in the arm" for the West, so that they will no longer be "tired" in assisting Ukraine.
In summary, Russia's impulsive behavior may have allowed them to release their anger, but the cost is also quite huge. A billion dollars were spent, but the result not only did not achieve the desired effect, but instead attracted a greater counterattack. This may be a costly tuition fee, and only time will tell if the Russians will reap the results they want. However, judging from this incident, impulsiveness and anger are not necessarily a good solution to the problem.
