Reply to comment by ltethe in [OC] Around 30% of countries spend more than 2% of GDP on their military by IndeterminateYogurt
Really? Which ones?
Most countries would have had tax bases of only 10-20% of GDP back then so even if say, 70% of the national budget went on defence that'd be implausible.

Reply to Leftist challenger Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's lead over far-right incumbent Jair Bolsonaro has widened slightly three days from Brazil's polarizing presidential runoff election, according to a poll published Thursday. Lula has 53 percent voter support to 47 percent for Bolsonaro by DoremusJessup
Has Lula stepped back from any of his pro-Venezuela/Russia positions?
No wonder this election is so close when he can't distance himself from Venezuelan socialists.

>We illegally invaded a country
What are you on about? How was the invasion illegal?
NATO aided the beleaguered internationally recognised government (pushed out of all but the North) supported by nearly the entire world, including enthusiastic support from Iran.
