Russia OBVIOUSLY is not looking for war or mischief in the best traditions of the CIA/Pentagon against other states.
Defense spending will be cut by a whopping 30% in the next couple of years in RUSSIA.
ALSO, unlike the Globalist Soviet Union funded into power by the Rothschilds of London...(Trotsky came into Imperial Russia from New York with $20 million of Jewish funds to kick start the Jewish Bolshevik Revolution in 1917)....Russia has no GLOBALIST pretensions of the 'Hagelian Dialect'...set two starkly different ideological groups against each other to see which one wins along the long process of conflict, war and destruction.
Running up to WWII, the Globalist Soviet Union had the most powerful military in the world on paper.....achieved through mass starvation and harsh sacrifices by the Soviet people, and considerable USA technological and financial aid. 24,000 tanks, 200,000 canons and artillery pieces, and an airforce of 18,000 planes....backed by 7 million mobilisable personnel. The International Jews through Stalin weakened this powerful force in mass purges in the eve of war in 1937, as it was too powerful for Nazi Germany, and for a 'meaningful' long 'Hagelian dialect' to take place between Nazi Germany and the Bolshevik Soviet Union.
Between 1945--1989, the Soviet Union competed with the USA in the Cold War, and yet another 'Hagelian Dialect' to the point where the country was sustaining defence spending of around 17% of GDP by 1989. This high expenditure created created problems, which were made worse by the gross mismanagement and incompetent corruption of Pizza Gorbachev. After all North Korea STILL exists today, albeit in poor standards, with defence expenditure of 25% of GDP, a miniscule PPP GDP of just $40 billion and a force of 1,200,000 standing military.
Modern Russians with experience of the failures of the Soviet Union, and the great suffering under Stalin, WWII and the 1990's don't want to participate in any further Globalist Hagelian Dialects set by the International Jews. Russia does not want to be the enemy of the USA. Russia does not want a Cold War era arms race with the USA, after the last experience.
The International Jews still have influence in Russia signified by the fact that Russian girls are sold into Jewish mafia sex slavery still openly, and through 'modeling' agencies.....and allegedly right-wing security state government of Putin has had no problems with this national shame for the last 26 years. It is the one aspect which will bind Donald Trump to Putin, his love for Aryan/Indo-European women from the East, wherein he is a Celt with genetics from Scotland, and his mother.
The International Jews still have influence in Russia signified by the fact that the Jewish mafia import narcotics from ASIA into Russia still quite openly, which effects millions, and the name Simon Moglevich is known in Russia is quite free under the right-wing security state government of Putin.
The International Jews still have influence in Russia signified by the fact that Russia has this year signed an FTA with illegal Israel. ISIS (Israel Security Intelligence Service) is the source and mentor of ISIS through the USA; has attacked Syria several times since 2011,whilst Syria struggles against ISIS, provides medical care for ISIS fighters from the Golan in Israel....and has played a significant role in the Nazi Putsch in Ukraine either directly through Israeli special forces, or indirectly through the Jewish Victoria Nuland neocon and Jewish Yats, and Jewish Poroshenko.......AMIDST ALL this Jew activity Russia signs an FTA with Israel.
....AND the symbolic Russian passport....to a Jewish Hollywood B-movie actor who doesn't need a Russian passport since presumably he is very successful and happy in the USA, but symbolizes the power of the International Jew in Russia.
Thus given these FACTS above, Russia wouldn't have hacked information from the Democrats in order to help Trump, beyond the 'normal' illegal hacking that both countries conduct against each other.
It is ISRAEL THAT did the metaphorical hacking of the USA electoral process.....as it has done for the last 40 years through the CIA, and by itself by TRUMP promising to allow Israel to declare Jerusalem as the Capital of Israel, and the USA accepting this fact, finally.

Russian military spending cut significantly
By
The government has slowed down on financing reforms and acquisitions in the defence industry. These are not being done at the earlier level because of lower oil prices.
The Russian government has decided to cut defence spending by 1,000 billion rubles ($15.89 billion), or approximately 30 percent, the draft federal budget indicates. The figures became apparent from the draft budget the government submitted to the State Duma at the end of October, the business daily Kommersant reported.
Expenditure on national defence is envisaged at 2,840 billion rubles ($45.15 billion), or 3.3 percent of GDP in the federal budget for 2017.
“When revenues are falling, the work of reaching a compromise between different recipients of the budget pie fades into the background. What matters is to ensure, albeit on a reduced scale, the operation of the national economy and the state in all the key areas,” said Alexei Kalachev, an analyst with Finam. With oil prices falling, he continued, it would have been strange to continue increasing military spending while welfare spending is reduced. That is why the share of military spending is gradually going down. In the projected spending on defence in 2018, for instance, expenditure will amount to 3 percent of GDP, while in 2019 it will further drop to 2.8 percent.
The government’s decision to cut the defence budget is largely driven by the example of the final years of the Soviet Union which – despite falling oil prices – continued to boost military spending, thus sinking into a deep crisis that ultimately led to the break-up of the country.
Overall reduction
“The main lesson in budget planning to be learnt from the budget of the final years of the USSR is the danger of excessive military spending,” said Sergei Khestanov, a macroeconomics adviser to the head of the Otkrytie Broker financial company. He believes that is the reason why the government has decided to cut defence spending by a third, despite the fact that the reduction would come as a blow to many defence industry enterprises.
The draft budget envisages a spending cut not only on defence. Practically all budgeted items will be cut back, but it is in defence that the cut is the biggest.
“The only exception is a sharp rise in the 2017 spending on social policy, which has to do with the presidential election cycle. Before elections, butter is far more important than guns,” Kalachev pointed out.
At the same time, starting from 2017, the spend on servicing the sovereign debt will see a scheduled boost. By that time, the repository of Russia’s oil-generated super-profits, the Reserve Fund, will be fully exhausted on covering the budget deficit, after which the main source of plugging the budget holes will see increased borrowing.
The amount of the budget deficit depends primarily on the oil price. The government plans to keep it at 3 percent of GDP in 2016.
Economical approach
“At the moment, the draft budget for the next year is based on quite conservative estimates as regards the oil price, which necessitates a considerable reduction in spending,” explained Mikhail Poddubsky, an analyst with Đ¢eleTrade. Furthermore, he predicts, it is likely that, in future, spending will have to be cut even further.
Given the shortage of public funds, the government has already given up plans to launch several new major projects. Among other things, it has even reduced the funding allocated for the revamp of the country’s main railway lines linking Europe and the Far East: the Trans-Siberian Railway and the Baikal-Amur Mainline.
Overall, budget expenditure is planned to be cut from 19.8 percent of GDP in 2016 to 16.2 percent in 2019. Under its long-term plan, the Russian Finance Ministry plans to reduce public spending to 13.1 percent of GDP by 2034.
