    Ah I see you are again using the Fezzing (TM) method of disproving someone - this involves the omnescient Fez stating that I am wrong - who am I to argue with such brilliant logic, I mean why should Fez demean himself by actually offering some facts to prove his case, when he is all-knowing!

    You seem to belive that anyone who doesn't wholeheartedly agree with your strange worldview must be evil somehow, for example:

    I am certain that Serb would be horrified by a return to stalinist principles. Just because he favours more left-wing solutions to problems than you you liken him to a gruesome tyrant who butchered millions of his own people.

I will admit I did do that to several posters here, but they are smart people too... false simplicities? My views are not simple yet extremely complex.
    "Go after you"
    I show you. using statistics and economic analysis, how your reliance on processed data can lead to incorrect assumptions - you ignore my points and then have the astounding gall to say that you "disproved" my argument - tell me why I shouldn't think you are someone who prefers their own fantasies to relaity?

    And just take a second to read what you wrote then - you claim that I had no reason to go after you, but then you admit that you have done the same yourself.
    Why should you be excepted from behaviour that you want others to adhere to? You're nobody special, despite your delusions of omneseince.
    Or are you saying that you only do it to 'smart' people - well then surely I have paid you an obscure compliment by doing it to you?

    For any hypothesis to be given credence it need to be checked against reality - this is a basic scientific prinicple.
    Only when it does can it be termed anything more than 'wishfull thinking'

    Because you are converting the amounts using exchange rates - the rouble is massively undervalued.
    I don't have up-to-date data, but in 1999 the rouble was undervalued by 68% relative to it's PPP.
    As a large proportion of military costs is the pay to servicemen then differences in the relative price level makes a big difference. (in this case making the spending per serviceman in russia go from 15% of Spain's level using exchange rates to 48% using PPPs).

            You just do not understand that 11 billins $ in Russia, its not the same as 11 billions $$$ in USA. Everything is much cheaper here- resources, electricity, labour, everything.

                  Actually according to the article, both amounts are in dollar amounts.

                  If you would read the article, $11 billion isn't enough to feed or even fully cloth 1.2 million troops.

                  Sorry man. But your military is crap.

                            As I said, you don't realize that Russia it is not one of the American states. We don't pay dollars to workers, as well as we don't pay dollars for electricity and resources.
                            You must know at least a bit about economy to understand this, but since you're such a dumba$$, it's an impossible task for you.

                                We were selling our old crap to them. Yanks, Brits and French did the same. So what?

                                ... even after the gulf war.
                                You mean after embargo against Iraq was declared?
