This is a good point but also Russia is a nation state not a company. The 80% of the revenue spent on operating costs is just invested in their economy and creates jobs and pays taxes. For a state enterprise, the balance sheet is very different than a private company.
- adolph 2y ago> The 80% of the revenue spent on operating costs is just invested in their economy and creates jobs and pays taxes. Yes and also not the full 21.9B claimed by the article. I wonder how one could contemplate the different levels of external war that could be exerted by a country based on its external economic ties. One the one hand is going full juche with no external economic ties (which the DPRK isn't quite), and on the other is some fully external state run on banking or tourism like Liechtenstein or Maldives.
