Anduril Industries has secured $1.5 billion in Series F funding to hyperscale defense manufacturing. This investment, co-led by Founders Fund and Sands Capital, values Anduril at $14 billion. Our goal: Rebuild the Arsenal of Democracy. Anduril is investing hundreds of millions in the development of Arsenal-1. Upon completion, Arsenal-1, a state-of-the-art 5M+ sq ft manufacturing facility, will employ thousands of people and will be designed to produce tens of thousands of autonomous military systems annually, addressing the urgent needs of the United States and our allies.

We can frack our way to victory! War in Ukraine started 886 days ago. As soon as the war started, US and our allies imposed economic sanctions on Russia. I thought it would be interesting to compare macro-economic fiscal performance of Russia and US. Some quick observations: - Russia is financing war through taxes (65%) and oil & gas revenues (31%), they need oil in the $84 range to balance the budget - Despite the war, Russian budget deficit is orders of magnitude lower than US - 1% vs 6% of GDP; Russia borrows $0.04 for every dollar of gov expenditure, US $0.28 - US debt to GDP ratio is pretty bad 123% vs 15% for Russia - Overall Russian economy is not in horrible shape, low deficit and current average oil price at $84 would indicate that economically Russia can continue to fight - Post US elections in November, I am expecting some type of fiscal rebalancing - Depending on who wins its going to be some combination of spending cuts and/or tax hikes - Fiscal imbalances are generally temporary phenomenon, they can only go on for so long; but at 1% of GDP, Russia can go on for a very long time since their GDP growth is app 2.5% (they are growing faster then they are borrowing) - If we want to win we need a strategic shift and we need it fast - $0.31 of Russian gov spending is from oil and gas, if we fracked like victory depended on it, we could actually achieve victory - US fracking oil breakeven production is around $55, at that price Russian deficit would increase by 3.5x (in the world of high interest rates that creates real long term pressure) - Russian deficit would be app 3.5% of GDP; with GDP growth rate of 2.5% Russia would be put on the path to insolvency and painful adjustments would have to be made (making war less popular) - On the other hand lower energy prices should accelerate US economic growth
