I korthet: Det här är en insändare som publicerades i Sydöstran 28/1 2022. Det är en replik på en insändare av en ökänd gammal maoist och putinist som i likhet med Putte sörjer Sovjets kollaps. Allt den snubben skriver går ut på att försvara diktaturer.

In English: This post is a letter to a Swedish newspaper. It is a reply to a letter by an old maoist now acting as a mouth piece for Putin. More specifically. My letter is debunking his pathetic way of comparing military expenditures. He compares absolute numbers which is meaningless.

They and other “peace activists” always compare Russia’s mitlitary expenditures in absolute numbers to claim that USA and other countries spend much more. I show that absolute numbers are meaningless in comparisons. In order to show the priorities of governments, military expenditures should be related to other government expenditures, for example expenditures on health care. The Kremlin spends more money on the military than on health for its people. The White House spends more money on the American people’s health than on its military. The Kremlin use its military to fight a war against Ukraine and terrorise the people in occupied Crimea and Donbas.
