You are absolutely right. Russia doesn't actually manufacture anything. The entire country lives off looted goods acquired through war. If Russia
needs some trucks, it invades Georgia. If it needs some potatoes, it invades Poland. If it needs some toilet paper, it invades the Baltics. If it
needs luxury cars, it goes after Germany. This form of looting economy actually makes much more sense than capitalism.
And the Russians truly value these trophied HUMVEES. Thats how the war started - the Russians saw those magnificent HUMVEES and how much fun Georgia
had playing with them, and they just had to have them. Now, possession of this amazing technological marvel has allowed Russia to crawl out of the
stone age. Perhaps thanks to them, someday Russia will be able to manufacture its own internal combustion engine.
