He should spend that money on making Russian people's lives better. Same goes for Kim Yong-Un. The vast wealth of these kleptocrats could be put to better use by making their own people's lives better.
They are greedy bastards though. Hell is too good for them.

You would ask whether he values his own position in the world for the remainder of his life far more than the wealth of the people of Russia.
With the natural resources in the possession of Russia, that country could've been far more developed by now.
Putin and all of those oligarchs wasted Russia's money on their individual lives.
They could have profitted way more by investing it in the people of Russia instead of huge mansions and personal yachts. Which would be feasable for them still looking at what kind of power investments in Russia could've brought them.
Short term thinking for sure.

I really wonder how much charade is involved in Putins statements. If I recall bunch of their tests have failed and there's been only limited success. Then if you think about rampart corruption these programs has to be extremely expensive when budget has to account management getting a slice on every level. Then when you wonder about the state of government budget its difficult to see how they would put much effort on new missle programs.
No one is gonna test these claims. No-one is going to invade Russia and it being nuclear power might not even be the biggest reason. Who statement might be just a joke and no-one will ever know.

Yes, though realistically a weapons update was probably in their pipeline for years. The sad part is that nothing in their pipeline will be good for Russians or for humanity.

deployment doesnt mean actually firing the weapon at anyone, it just means a nuclear bomb will be added to their arsenal ready to use at any moment on the battlefield.. still not very good

Honestly, between Putin showing off Sarmat and Kim Jong-un waving his nukes around the other day, it feels less like "global security" and more like two insecure guys comparing toys in a very expensive midlife crisis.

no they didnt say they were going to deploy any nuclear weapons in any of those previous years.. they threaten to FIRE them at a country. this time is very different because this bomb has failed testing a lot but is apparently finally working, and they have set a deadline for when they are going to deploy it on the battlefield

He literally says exactly the same since 2022. The first time Sarmat supposed to be deployed is 2018.

It’s a scare tactic, and it’s not working, Putin likes to play mind tricks by lying, that there going to unleash this and that, and they will nuke this and that, in reality, Russia is fucked, there economy is fucked, there male population is fucked, well puti you’re scare tactics do not work anymore, if this war doesn’t end soon, you’re going to end up being assassinated by your own people
