Russia knows how to twist weak / vulnerable minds.

I tried an attempted a scaling factor of “width=800” with no effect, in my preview. Other images (from other websites) scale just fine, as always.)
Image came out fine
Sadly the spending percentage is not a factor of spending less on defense, but so much more on other govt “programs”
The drug of spending to paraphrase Henley has a very strong appeal
What have we got for trillions spent, and the usuals talk about 60 billion as somehow a budget buster.
How much of that and aid given already has been paid for, so is it really “spending”
Bradleys, abrams, Strykers and many other surplus or retired equipment is not a cost
How about the hundreds of aircraft being retired, the usuals will count that as an expense if given to Ukraine
Russian military may not be that good, but their ability to shape public opinion and buy certain people is not, and that is a problem
