  1. "... Russia entered the war with the old imperial logic: more men, more tanks, more artillery, more mass. But Ukraine showed that the future of war belongs less to sheer size and more to adaptation, drones, visibility, distributed production, fast repair, and resilient societies. ..."

  2. Rubio Tells Iran Invest in People—But U.S. Military Spending Exposes Hypocrisy

    Rubio says Iran should invest in its people, but U.S. military spending vs healthcare reveals deep hypocrisy and misplaced moral authority.

  3. The economics of war explained by @nicolange , the former chief of executive staff at the German Ministry of Defense @Verteidigungsministerium:

    “Scenes like this are playing out throughout the Persian Gulf battlespace: a small drone approaches a US destroyer at high speed; the vessel sounds the alarm, and its defenses react immediately with expensive sensors, missiles, and maneuvers. An above-water drone costs a few thousand dollars. The response can cost millions. And the destroyer vessel is just one of many that require multi-domain defenses.

    This reveals a new economy of war. Cheap beats expensive. Mass beats perfection. […]

    Those who assert themselves militarily at too high a cost also lose at the same time. And those who lose cheaply remain capable of acting in the end. Those who lose too expensively lose too much anyway. In the Gulf, we are currently seeing how this can change the geopolitical balance of power.”

  8. Putin’s clash with Russia’s top banker shows increasing disconnect over #WarEconomy, experts say

    Head of #Russia's largest #bank, told the Eastern #Economic Forum on Sept. 5 that Russia’s #GDP growth had slowed to near zero in July and August after a sharp drop in the April–June quarter.

    “The second quarter can practically be considered technical stagnation,” he said.

  10. CW: Pixel art depiction of a skull, war

    I resuscitate an illustration idea that I had more than 25 years ago but that would still be relevant today. The phrase comes from a 2022 article by Sebastian Bondzio, Lukas Hennies and Christoph Rass; that was published the first month of the Russian attack on Ukraine. 128 × 128 pixels. #ballistic for #pixel_dailies #war #death #skull #bombs #materialism #capitalism #1bit #warEconomy #pixelart #ドット絵 @pixel_dailies

  11. 🇬🇧 UK
    🔴 UK Launches “Permanent Production” Military Plan

    🔸 Britain will invest £1.5B in 6 new munitions factories to rebuild war stocks depleted by Ukraine support & years of underfunding.
    🔸 The “continuous production” model aims to boost readiness & deterrence.
    🔸 Annual ammo spending will hit £6B in 4 years, creating 1,000+ jobs.

    #Putin can't end the war. It means his political death. Shortly after, his literal death

    It falls upon those on the periphery of power to depose the demented mafia ghoul

    My speculation is as long as the #warEconomy pays dividends, no one will do anything. With or without #sanctions that will eventually show cracks since it's an #economic house of cards

    Watch #ElviraNabiullina

    She is certainly gagged

    But she will know when #Russia's #economy is fucked first

  13. "russia, the economy is over"

    Simple math wins over Z-patriotism. Who would have thought.

    Mark Biernat updated his estimated point of time of russia economically crumbling down from 2026 to mid-2025.
