minus-squareMouette@jlai.lulinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down6·1 year ago50% is absolutely outrageous, I mean it’s clearly war propaganda they could have said 200% who cares.
minus-squareZuberi 👀@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 year agoI mean it very clearly matters to me. Hence why I’m asking. 5% of the budget for a 10% decrease in Russia’s troops is 100% not worth it in my mind. Not from an American standpoint. It matters because 5% for 50% is propaganda. I want the real numbers. I can ASSURE you the dumbfucks on the right will also notice that these numbers are fake.
minus-squareFlowVoid@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-21 year ago5% of the defense budget. Which is definitely worth it even for a 10% decrease, since the US usually has to spend more than its adversaries. And Russian casualties are generally estimated to be in the range of 100K to 300K, which is more than 10%. For comparison, there were about 50K Taliban KIA in Afghanistan, and the US spent a lot more money there.
