Shoots back
I know that the Cold War is over. I also understand the analogy about guns and butter.OK. What does that all mean?Don't mind me here guys and gal. Just playing with some numbers for the fun of it. Please continue with your preschecudaled bashing.
GDP, 2012, US Dollars, (ironically) CIA World Factbook
US + EU = $32 trillion
Russia = $2 trillion
They may have a lot of guns but not much butter.
Means the Cold War is over. Waste your money on guns and you have less butter, and don't forget to recycle your toothpaste tin.
But Soviets (and Putin is still after all a Soviet) never cared too much about butter in the first place. They are all about the iron fist.
