Growth of spending? You think that equals spending? As I said, either delusional or stupid.
In all fairness I can see why you are easily duped, it is something you want to believe.
what would make you happy?
let me guess: "lower spending". you monkeyz keep yelling that, but you have no idea what it means.
Originally posted by Krod MandoonIt is true that the cost of living, and generally the cost of everything, is much less in Russia than in the US, and therefore Russia's $88 billion military budget may arguably be equivalent to $300 billion of military expenditures in the US. Also the Russian military is largely comprised of conscripts, and there is a rich Russian military history that is interwoven with Russian culture and dates back centuries. So watch the Bear: it is not to be trifled with.
Those figures are misleading, because America pays their military personnel OBSCENE amounts of money compared to China, etc.

What's a private in China/Russia make, some piddly pocket change ?
PLUS our military gets gouged paying bizarre amounts for crap like five hundred doll ...[text shortened]... toilet seats that cost a grand.....lot of sad corruption going on in American military funding.
The charge of widespread corruption is frequently leveled at Russia, and for good reason. However, what we call corruption in Russia is called corporate law here in the US. That is, the US has codified its culture of corruption, making it legal and therefore not "corruption" at all, you see. Until such time as the US comes to grips with its twin maladies of crony capitalism and oligarchic kleptocracy, it will continue to squander its resources on five-hundred-dollar hammers and fifty-dollar screws in the name of empire.
