It is impossible to imagine that for such funds it is possible to radically rearm the army and make it really combat-ready. Yes, this fuels the aggressive nature of the current regime, alienates from the world. But, in fact, the Americans also know how to count their money. I think there is nothing supernatural in this situation, ”Morozov said.
