US to Spend on Military in 2018 What Russia Spends in 15 Years
US “defense” budget for 2018 amounts to fourteen and a half Russia defense budgets rolled into one
Meanwhile the defense spending for 2017 over in Russia (spending for 2018 won’t be set until late 2017) is 2.84 trillion rubles, which at today’s exchange rates amounts to just under $48 billion.
In other words, for Russia $696 billion would represent enough money to fund its military for fourteen years and six months.
US taxpayers must be truly rich.
