    Hmmm, I wonder if they’ll just stop once they take Ukraine. Surely, they’ll just mothball all of that gear they’ve spent the last two years ramping production up for.

      They literally cannot. Their economy is on a war footing. Switching back will cause an instant recession, because of all the people employed in the war I dustry need to be re employed elsewhere and the money they made dries up. So some country will be fucked… I’ll bet they will pick a soft target like Georgia first… while they rebuild.
