For military it's a combination of both, always use consumer PPP for personnel costs but for equipment it depends on the country. For a country that imports all its weapons from the West (e.g. Saudi) then use nominal for equipment. For a country like China then use PPPi for equipment. For India it would be a blend. Of course this omits R&D and military construction. Operations cost is I suspect mainly fuel so use nominal.

For comparing military spending, there's a methodology below on why the Industrial Price Index (Industrial PPP) is more accurate than the Consumer Price Index (Consumer PPP).

Rules-based-order:
In his words it's "a set of ever varying, constantly vacillating rules devised by the United States for the benefit of the United States and its Western allies." He points out that "one of the most difficult thing about the rules-based order is finding out what the rules are!"

I'm shocked! shocked, to find out that TikTok is doing censorship for the US government as other social media such as Twitter and Facebook do!

I will give this article today's "Israel-did-the-most-to-prevent-civilian-casulties-in-history" award for gaslighting/brainwashing.

Reminds me of all those Western instigators hidden behind the scene during the riots in Hong Kong.

New meme just dropped: Tom Cotton grills the CPC pigeon.

Dugin gives China his seal of approval.
I propose an alternative vision for Russia: rather than a seperate pole, Russia becomes china‘s right hand man when contending with the west, what Britain is to the U.S.
Dugin went to Turkish Parliament after that coup. than that Ukranian and Russian Church separation happened in 2018. where that Patriach of Constantinople has role in it. its clear failure of Russian church Soft Power.

Arabs knows that Dugin is just a clown and there interests will be protected by Israelis.

One must keep in mind that Putin, not Dugin, holds the final say in such matters. He was the one who decided to share Syria’s skies with the Israelis.

You show your real face when drunk or desperate and it seems without wealth and power they have more in common with cow belt jai hind India than they would like to admit, In an alternate history without colonization and industrial revolution west probably would have been what India is today the cultural similarity is just too much​
  • Lack of ethics check
  • Pervy men with ethnic fetish check
  • Running their mouth all the time check
  • Claims cultural superiority to mask insecurity check
  • Obsessed with soft power or perceptions check
  • Never pick a fight on equal terms and when eventually gets beaten cry like a baby check
  • Caste/hierarchical society check

Glad to see both Russia and China are now collaborating on the threat of US bioweapons. Best response by Russia and China is to develop their own bioweapons instead of asking the US to abaondon their bioweapons program. Just like the best response to US nuclear weapons was to develop your own nuclear weapons instead of asking the US to abandon its nuclear weapons. Only when Russia and China develop bioweapons will the US come to the table to discuss the issue and come to an agreement. As long as they have an advantage they won’t talk.
I don't think Russia and China should get their hands dirty with creating their own bioweapons. Bioweapons are notoriously uncontrollable. Just look at Covid, and how it affected every part of the world. If the US had intended to take China out with Covid, then it had suffered one hell of a blowback.

If Russia and China are working on bioweapons, then it'll also send the wrong message to the world, that these superpowers are the same as the old ones. Bioweapons are just unethical, and uncontrollable. They should belong in the dustbins of history. Except that the US and it's lackeys are still keeping these horrible things around. Because they are just f**king evil pr**ks.

I would rather Russia and China work on economic and cyber warfare than on bioweapons. They are more targeted, and they can more directly attack the economy of the enemy. Doing what the US bio attack(s) on China had intended to do, but far more controllable and just a whole lot less messy. More trade war is bad, but another super pandemic is just crazy.

PS.: If Russia and China must respond to any US bio attack. They should focus on weapons delivery. How to return the bioweapon to it's sender. If the US had sent a bioweapon to China or Russia, then send it back to them. Looking at how Covid returned to the US, this should not be an overly difficult or complicated thing to develop.

When the Chinese and Russians devise gene select ethno viruses targeting Anglo Saxon genomes and Ashkenazi and Sephardic Jewish genomes, remember that it was the Israelis and anglos who started this research targeting Slavic Russian and Chinese genes. It will be the same effect as when the Germans first used chlorine gas in WW1 only to have to tolerate gas from the French in return.
