I guess the massive military buildup over in China is nothing to worry about either . . . ? Alas, this generation is naïve.
not to mention now Obama will share our Nuclear secrets with Russia...I still say he is a Russian mole.....

China's military expenditures, as a percentage of GDP, is no higher than many other countries with their peace time budgets.
In fact Russia, has about one million active duty personnel vs China's 2.5 million. But China is 9 times larger. So, the proportion of China is actually much smaller. And I could make this comparison to most of the countries including the US. Even the Pentagon's estimate of China's military budget, which is much higher than China's claim, would still put China's military budget at a lower percentage of her GDP than the US military budget as a percentage of GDP. And even with the coming budget cuts in the coming decade in the US military, the US may still have a higher budget in terms of the percentage of GDP than China. And higher, of course, overall, in absolute dollars.
