:Yes, war time spending can boost a country's GNP, but it typically does so at the detriment of the civilian sector and long term economic health because less is spent on education, R & D, healthcare, etc. In addition, it can cause labor shortages and drops in labor productivity. In addition, with so many countries having below replacement level of fertility and aging populations, wars which can cause a lot of casualties are often detrimental for this reason as well.

:Putin has to balance big war time spending, the health of the civilian sector and economic stability, and its very doubtful that he could so for 3 years without dropping one of these balls. Russia is a [[middle income countries|middle income country]] and if it is ever going to escape the [[middle income trap]], it is going to have to become a much more economically competitive country and a more sustainable country demographically. The last thing it needs is to be bogged down in an expensive war of attrition that is detrimental to its civilian sector.
