In 2013, the USA's defence budget was 4.48% of its GDP, or USD 754 bn / 16,800 bn
In 2013, Russia's defence budget was 3.14% of its GDP, or 110 bn / 3,500 bn in PPP-adjusted US dollars
In 2013, China's estimated defence budget was of 1.07% of its GDP, or 266 bn / 15,500 bn in PPP-adjusted US dollars
the USA's defence budgeting policy had been to spend about as much as China and Russia combined, relative to GDP, and you can see that the percentages are roughly there (4.48 vs 4.21)
before complaining that "hey the dollar value is 754 bn vs a total of 376 bn", bear in mind that defence budgets include personnel expenditure, and the cost of living in USA is much much much higher than Russia and China
lol you consider this to be a lie? okay, sure, I will amend that: NATO is not at war with Russia. happy?
there's certainly truth in that statement. but what the point is, relative to this discussion, escapes me.
mainly the part relative to its radioactive effects, since the world seems to accept the use of conventional weapons of equal destruction
that's just how it is; I don't make the rules
maybe you should read up on WW2 history...?
thank you for at least admitting you lied earlier. So Nato is not at war right?
When a country is always picking fights everywhere, maybe sometimes that country is the war-mongering state. Sometimes, not all the time. But I do like your creativity in using PPP, just to inflate numbers.
sure, I do need to read my ww2 history because I am ignorant enough to think that a weapon capable of killing thousands is NOT ok to be deployed in a city full of civilians, while all your argument is radioactive. Nice argument btw... I originally thought you would state that back in the 1940s, no one know nukes can level a city. You obviously read widely.
