In a discussion of military or intelligence capability, that seems awfully myopic. It's not like you can flip a switch on your spending patterns (sans some major external threat).

That switch can be flipped pretty fast.
Look at 2 other counties as a hypothetical: Germany and Saudi Arabia. In your list of military spending, Saudi Arabia is above Germany but Germany has a GDP almost 5 times Saudi Arabia's GDP. I think Germany is more capable. If there were a fight between those two countries with no allies assisting, my money would be on Germany even with Germany having the lesser amount of military spending at the start.

Get psychiatric help. Talk to a counselor. Get a gf, a real one.
I'm not even making this up... There has been research about your kind and TDS is a real disorder.
Only if we have a bunch of George Clinton 4 Prez pictures.Let's start with a new thread with a more appropriate title.
Probably about time for one to be called "2024 Presidential Election Mothership Thread".

The grift never ends. Buy this crappy Chinese phone! America first!
This really is a problem. One party is obsessed with performative politics. They’re all in on the grift, fleecing their constituents. Which makes their constituents’ lives worse. Whose anger they exploit to fleece even more. It’s a vicious cycle.

Why do they call it a freedom phone? Do people not understand that most countries around the world have freedom and that it’s not agnostic to us?
People of all walks of life need to stop being sheep and think for themselves vs. what certain personalities tell them to do.
So, you chose one of the most extreme comparisons you could find, in an effort to make a point about Russia and Italy?
This is what I meant earlier about your letting your categories define your realities, rather than the realities define the categories. There is so much more that goes into who is a greater threat than GDP.
Yup. Now that he's out of office, it's lost its center.
