They could theoretically cover this with the future pension and benefit payouts these men would have got if they were allowed to live.

Is there even going to be any pension or any value to their underlying currency anyway? It seems like they're going to end up with what happened in Germany after the war (hyperinflation), no?

So the reality is sadly we all could've seen this war coming. Russia has been airing anti Ukraine propaganda for a while now. But also Russia has been preparing their economy for this exact event.

World War 2 took a long ass time, and War isn't cheap. The Germans were seriously spread thin by the end of the war. I would be interested to know about sanctions and other contributing factors.
