While President Barack Obama thinks about helping the jihadists rebels beat Syria President Bashar al-Assad’s forces through military strikes, I keep thinking about this US military spending chart from the Washington post:

How many conclusions did you reach?

And besides this, what are the Russians really thinking?

BTW, don’t worry about the lack of money for a war. Deficits mean almost nothing in the short term when you can print your own money and the world is forced to use it.

Back to Syria — I’m afraid this bad situation is about to become unimaginably worse…
