The USSR had a military budget, say, in 1988, estimated at $319 billion, and the US military budget that year was at $293 billion. There was what is called "parity".

In 2021, US defense spending is $740.5 billion. In 2013, only the US espionage and sabotage agencies received $52.6 billion a year.

Mordor in 2013 had 90.4 billion dollars allocated for defense, but already in 2017 this amount immediately dropped to 48.5 billion. and in plans for 2021, defense spending has been further reduced to 42.1 billion - less than in the United States spent only on spies and special operations!

And this despite the fact that in all the leading countries of the world, military spending either increased (in China from 178 to 266.5 billion), or remained at the same level.

Not only the Germans with their military expenditures of 79.0 billion US dollars, but also the British (from 49.9), and the French (from 52.2), without any NATO alone, are stronger than Mordor and even Saudi Arabia spends more.

Remember this as you will be hearing some warmongers propaganda.
