Author and Russian military expert Andrei Martyanov and free-speech platform Brighteon founder Mike Adams agree that Western economies will be devastated if the United States and Israel continue pushing for the escalation of the conflict in Gaza, simply because their economies would not be able to handle it.

According to Adams, the U.S. may have the biggest military budget in the world however, 90 percent of the money goes to waste due to kickbacks, inefficiency and incompetence. Thus, the West would spend much money to continue the invasion in the Middle East.

“There is an economic asymmetry in the cost of producing systems. I saw research on 155 artillery rounds that says that the U.S. spends about $6,000 per round to produce. Those are not exotic rounds, just kind of standard normal explosive rounds,” the Health Ranger divulged. “Russia can produce the same round, for about 1/10 of that cost. Iran can produce military weapons at a fraction of the cost of the United States.”

Martyanov concurred and cited real economics in Russia’s operations. “Russia already operates six state-of-the-art strategic missiles and submarines. And each sub is around $1 billion. The Columbia class U.S. Navy strategic missile submarine is around $9 billion. Basically, nine for the cost of one American strategic missile submarine, Russia has basically renewed its naval strategic missile deterrent,” he explained.
