I know what will help, 5% of the GDP towards military spending!

[–] redline@lemmygrad.ml 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

why not 100% of GDP and just replace everything in the economy with armaments? the best porcupine is made completely out of steel spikes facing both outward and inward, with the pleasing tertiary benefit of skewering any potential fifth column!

why not replace train carriages with mobile artillery, farmland with minefields, and hospitals with ICBM silos?

now that would really show the russians what's what
