-Caveat Lector-
there are many things i have a problem with in this article.
for starters, you have implied (maybe accidentally) that russia was a
communist country. this isn't true, as you might have noticed. Also,
you have called china and russia the worst mass murderers of all time.
Anybody can admit that China is easily a brutal regime, but how can
you say that they are the worst mass-murderer of all time? Did the
nazi holocaust fail to engage your attention at all? i believe the
nazis are the ones worthy of that particular tag. secondly, russia was
a brutal regime unde the previous communist administration, and russia
itself has now been attempting to cutback on military spending (a
rather wise idea, considering the terrible state of russia's
military). i remember because there were massive protests by
communists in moscow demanding that russia be able to protect itself
(does this sound familiar? ironic, isn't it?)
and the underground cities? from where do you get your information?
this sounds like _extremely_ dodgy info. If you're going to accuse a
government of something of that incredible magnitude, you ought to be
able to support your claim. if there are any, it's probable they were
built in the soviet era anyway. To suggest that the government would
build this kind of thing, even if it could, is ridiculous, to suggest
that a government would spend what is obviously amounting to billions
on protecting the people is just ridiculous. The only entity in russia
that has that kind of money to waste is the mafia i'd expect.
i agree that america must defend itself from threats. but only if
there ARE threats. desperately attempting to justify an incredibly
bloated military budget by trying to find new enemies is something
that america's been doing too much of lately. and saying that russia
is the country it was is absolutely ridiculous.
and i must say that expending 28% of the budget is rather ridiculous
for a large country such as america, which is attempting to fund this
ridiculous war on drugs.
why is it so difficult to accept that tax money should be spent on
improving the country you live in, rather than attempting to make
america look big (as if it needed to).
ps. it might do you some good to compare your views on defence with
that of the hardline communists in russia. you might learn something

The main characteristic of a totalitarian regime is a police force whose agenda is to
protect the government instead of the people.
what do you think riot police are for?
