Bro, I think we can both agree a huge chunk of Russian revenue is going into the defence sector (is that a good return for money ? I'm not sure) . I really do admire their resilience.
Western countries going into recession has nothing to do with Russia.

I wonder. China is busy ramping up defense spending while the economy is tanking at the expense of ordinary chinese. But it is the western spending that is their headache. The same west that has be enjoying 'peacetime dividend' since. So sacrificing a token for security against marauders now should not be a problem. And besides mr. Intelligent should not forget defense spending in the west especially the usa has a lot of benefits. From shoring up the industrial base among others most of the funds allocated to thd US DOD goes to defense contractors like lockheed martin which in turn provides employments and others. Infact if i sat down and ponder on the impact of the dod on the american economy. I begin to wonder if nigeria can have such system. It might not be defense it may be anything that get money to private companies to the immense benefit of the citizens.

Between both of us, you think you're the intelligent one?😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.

You said the West is spending money on weapons, and I'm telling you that all the money NATO is spending is 2% of their GDP.

And the China you're romancing has increased it's defense budget as you're making it seem like the West is spending alot on military expenditure at the expense of their development.

Yes, The US spends more than 2%, you mentioned the West and the West is usually Western Europe, it doesn't include the US.

The US is the biggest export of weapons, they also generate sales or revenue. so it's quite understandable and being the World's super power.

My point is 2% won't stop or affect the development of the West. This is even the highest ever.

You should understand the common saying, "Another man title na another man offering". I expect you to atleast understand this one.

You should be more concerned bout China, who's economy is declining and has increased defence budget if you want to be worried at all.

"This is excluding their individual defence budget" show evidence for this your claim.

At this point, it would be hard to prove you're not a brainwashed Zombie.

DystopianMuse:
Will you keep quiet. Like he said earlier most nato countries except the usa has just increase their budget to 2% of gdp. While china has spend more than that and harp now ramp up that figure to 7% (rember china gdp is over 20 trillion) . Even with huge usa defensebudget an average american is living better than chinese. Due to recent economical turmoil in china. There have been an uptick of migration to the usa dont argue this with me its a fact. Most nato members are even doing social benefits for the citizen like sweden finland etc. To shame you china gdp/capital and citizen wealth is still stuck in mid level area alongsides that of let say philipines when it could have been rubbing shoulders with the west. The average china citizen purchasing power is low. Domestic consumption in the usa and other western countries amount to 60-70% of gdp where as china is just 35% which is why they have an export led model. Since average china citizen can consume much due to low wealth something the evil ccp has been trying to fix to no avail in order fix the economy. China building kwa. You mean tofu dreg construction. Keep shut 2% x 31 useless math at that

DystopianMuse:
You have a lot to learn. I swear! Trade surplus does not change the fact that china economy is suffering. You are ignorant to that fact because you alway choose to read only anti western news. Btw if i export a $2 item and import $1 that is still a trade surplus and does not change the fact. Even xi ji ping made that rare admission for you to know its real. And how are we sure the number is not fake as usual like other china stats

Procashtips:


You're just running in circle.

How much is the 2% you're talking about in USD?

You mentioned the dollar value of the Chinese military spendings, tell us, what does the 2% equate in dollar value?

Please, don't type stories again, just answer the question.

What is the total military spendings in USD spent yearly by all 31 NATO members?

Remember this is excluding what individual member state spend on their internal military.

I'm waiting and please disappoint me this time around.

Read what you posted and read my replies. I'm tied of repeating myself.

This is Zombie behavior and reasoning

Procashtips:

I was about lecturing you, then I realised it would be a waste of time because you're not here to learn.

Use Google to answer your own question since you believe NATO members don't have individual budget for their country's security apart from the 2% (average) they contribute to NATO. (Majority dont even pay which made Trump threatened to pull the US out of NATO then).


What a waste of time.

Albania joined NATO cos of fears of Russia's neo imperialist ambitions. If Russia was a good neighbor those bordering nations won't see the need to join NATO.

Russia had eastern Europe to lose and it has lost most of it. NATOs influence is expanding there and Putin played a major role.

Tiopii:


I don't care how you feel bro.

Russia as a result of it attacking Ukraine, made it possible for Finland and Sweden to join NATO officially, same thing they were trying to guard against by attacking Ukraine. NATO get adding former soviet state is a loss for Russia. Ukraine would also be NATO.

What more allies? Pls mention them. Neighbouring states are considering closing their borders to Russia. They are losing the home battle. Russia's backyard.

Check the UN resolution on the Russia/Ukraine war.

"Russia economy war? With who? *"The country that really on oil and gas dey fight economy war?"*
You could easily for referring to either Russia or China. so clarify pls
