If they ever get a dime of it.
Maybe they just print the money. Isn't that what dictatorships often end up doing?
Yeah but if they send these troops to the areas that are most deadly, then they don't have to pay them for very long in the first place.
No need to print the money if you're not actually spending it.
I invite them to do that. I'm sure the oligarchs will love having their local savings massively devalued, and won't support a coup of any kind. /s
As much as I would love that, probably they don't have their fortune in cash savings but most probably put it into diversified investments of some sorts.
I'm guessing both, so they get returns and still have an "oh shit" fund. I doubt it would be good for the oligarchs, at the very least.
Venezuela can do hyperinflation because they have a more ideologically driven elite who will ride out the turbulence. No such luck for Putin; he's a neofeudal lord and has to keep palms greased like it.
I wonder who would down vote this comment like I want to know if anyone really believes that any of these soldiers will receive even a penny? please feel free to embarrass yourselves trying to prove me wrong.
Yeah true
