yeah you cherry pick your own metric which is in no way related to security .
Setbacks? Are you kidding me? Is that what you're calling the Russian retreat/defeat in Kharkiv? Ukraine is about to encircle Lyman and the thousands of Russian soldiers are either going to surrender and their equipment, make a run for it and leave equipment or die. When that happens in a few days are you to call that a Russian oopsie?
Tell us how to cram thousands of troops into 21 square miles. why waste so many soliders when you can simply bombard that place with few pieces of artillery?
aah I see , lord of the half baked universe does not deal with facts but only prefers farting out cosmic level truth.
It's obvious you need help so here you go...
% of GDP spent of defence is probably the best measure, since it shows how much a country prioritises defence spending over the economy and society.
% of gdp is just an metric to see how much they are over spending or underspending economically it has no relation to its security or size.
Real metric should include size of the area to defend & security threat posed , if singapore/vatican has a gdp of trillion dollar and ends up spending 2% it is still overspending based on its size.
Territorial size of the Nato excluding US is 70% of russia's size but spending on defence is 5 times that of russia. Which means mob spends 5 times for each unit of area compared to russia assuming both are of equal size.

Last time I checked your user name wasn't @vstol Jockey but Innominate! Then why did you reply to my post in which I addressed someone else?

Fair enough, but I do not expect him to present unbiased review of events like you, hence the comment
