Buying one way tickets to hell for Russian soldiers by selling off Russia's gold and treasure... What will be left when all the humans and gold have been carelessly traded away by Putin to power the mindless Russian war machine?

Wow, that is a massive amount to burn through.

It is until you realize how expensive this war is. The damage a drone does to an oil refinery probably costs a few millions to repair and even more in lost profits, if it actually stops production. Tanks cost a million a piece easily. Air defense, planes and so forth easily cost more. Even something like a Shahed is $200k per shot.

Corruption is actually a feature in this case. Most of that cash is actually pumped directly into local economies. /s
