Bad data on grain transportation through Russia's western ports. If we had listened to the need to build the second and third Trans-Siberian railways, to strengthen the North-South corridor two or three years ago, then at least half of today's problems would not exist - geopolitics and geoeconomics are not idle conversations in the kitchen, but in the full sense questions of the country's survival. Is there in Israel, with all its "powerful" academic "science", at least one real center for macroeconomic planning that will adequately plan the country's future not for six months, but at least 2-3 five-year plans in advance, taking into account objective geopolitics and objective, non-fictitious concepts?
The Trans-Siberian Railway is loaded with Kuzbass coal, but how can we transport Russian grain to China? What if the Baltic closes again?
All I have heard in recent years is "the capacity of the Trans-Siberian railway is quite sufficient" - such conversations were held with great confidence at the top.
Instead of the second and third lines of the Trans-Siberian railway, there is talk of the Siberianization of Russia with the resettlement of people. Maybe the time has passed for irresponsible fantasies about spending the budget. And is it time to actually save the country? To build an infrastructure that will save us from any siege, to build a network of high-speed trains that will really save the country in a time of total war?
Where can I get labor? The humanitarian universities in Moscow are full of students who want to change the fate of the country - we must give them this opportunity. :) And jokes aside, the country has enough capacity, including in partnership with China, to devote all its efforts not to building another elite residential complex, but to what the country really needs here and now.
