> Russia's going to have a million veterans roaming around, with lots of untreated PTSD. A struggling economy could create the perfect storm for revolution There are plenty of make-work projects Moscow can waste its men on without requiring American co-operation. > proposed sending veterans of the war in Ukraine to build a “new Siberian Russia,” This actually makes sense. Between its military being revealed as a paper tiger and the oncoming demographic collapse, Moscow will need to work to keep Siberia from being encouraged–by America and possibly even China–to assert sovereignty over its mineral wealth. (It's not a new concept [1].) None of this requires a boondoggle tunnel to Alaska. And in the end, burning resources to keep men busy just delays the reckoning.
