    $61Bn is very nearly the entire annual Russian military budget. Estimates have it at some where between $65Bn and $75Bn.

        Only the most premium screws are accepted for consideration by the great US. How else can you be expected to shoot down weather balloons…eventually?

        Seriously though, I had friends who worked for military contractors (they’ve escaped) who told me stories about how much they overcharged the military on every single line item because it would never get reviewed.
