    Paper tiger economy or military?

    They are making big gains right now unfortunately so it would be wise not to understimate them just like Poland aren’t or France with the latter re arming at a rate not seen since WW2.

    Why would they be doing this if not for the threat Russia poses.

    The other overlooked factor here is they will have the most experienced and battle hardened military in the world at the end of this (well the soldiers that survive at least) But their generals and commanders are certainly getting real world experience that’s very valuable.
