CNN multiple articles and videos
Over the past ten years the soviets have spent about $730 billion U.S. dollars on their military. They have now 800,000 foot soldiers, 600 warplanes, 100 warships, and "the largest nuclear arsenal in the world" as quoted by CNN. Many people think that Russia's interest in the Ukraine was what sparked foreign interest. That however it is false, the Ukrainian incident is just an issue in which countries decided to take action. 6 years ago Russia's military began to occupy Georgia, a former Soviet state. Now with the annexation of Krimea and Putin's support of the Ukrainian militants, it is clear that he is trying to bring Russia back its former glory of the Soviet Union.
i feel like alot of debt is from finacing the military so they can fight in war but beyond the less this is a very interesting topic
