What country spends more on their military???
Is that what the DailyKOS or The Nation taught you to say? You do understand how foolish it is IF you think about it.
How does the pay rate differ between an American, Russian, or Chinese member of the military compare with each other?
How do the costs compare between manufacturing an American, Russian, or Chinese aircraft, ship, rocket, or whatever? Are you aware that Russia and China use slaves in manufacturing products?
Do you believe both China and Russia are honest about what they are doing and how much it costs?
Do you know that China includes all they spend on their rockets and missiles to be research and not included in their spending for their military?
Submarines. Do we know how many nuclear submarines China has and are building? Their subs are capable of Tomahawk style and ICBM type rockets. We don't know how many because they have a major sub base, built inside a mountain which can only be entered underwater. Thanks to President Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton, China controls both ends of the greatly enlarged Panama Canal.
Are you aware that China has the largest fleet of container ships in the world? While counted as a commercial enterprise, they are all under control of the Red Army.
More?
