garett, I expect you to completely thrash spifflink for having the opinion he has. Along the same lines of what I was saying.
So go on, go ahead, thrash him now.

btw, his deal with russia was worth $3 billion. their army wasnt that good to begin with. compare that to the half trillion spent each year by the US, NOT counting ongoing combat costs.

(Sep 21 06, 12:08)Great point. Half a trillion is way more than 3 billion, unless you take this into consideration.
United Stattes:
GDP: 12.41 Trillion
Military spending: 500 Billion
= 24% (roughly)Venezuela:
GDP: 163.503 Billion
Military spending on Russia alone: 3 Billion
= 54% (roughly)So, if Venezuela had the US's GDP they would spend 1 trillion dollars and change.
Any questions?
I rest my case. Good try though.

per GDP? nice try but, spending is spending. venezuela DOESNT have our gdp, and if they did they wouldnt spend 1 trillion. how many countries are they invading? the 3 billion was also a long term deal, not like the 500 billion the US announces annualy. factor in combat costs and the US pays well over the half billion. venezuela? combat costs? not really.

(Sep 21 06, 12:13)Skewed facts but yes, facts.
54% is bigger than 24% though. I believe that is fact as well. I like your thinking though and debate skills.

That is pure speculation. And, taking into consideration Chavez's lavish lifestyle I wouldn't put it past him, but I too am now speculating.

hey garett, are you really going to glaze over all of the other things spifflink said in that post and just talk about military spending?
again, coward...
