That graph obviously isn't correct...
''One of the distinguishing characteristics of Vladimir Putin’s presidency has been his commitment to revitalizing Russia’s military. Putin, who has noted that Russia’s perceived weakness makes it vulnerable to external pressure and internal disruption. Putin's plan calls for a million men under arms, thousands of new tanks and planes, a hundred new satellites, and next-generation weapons. With overwhelming support, the State Duma passed Putin's $755 billion plan to restore Russian might.''

While it's impressive that he wants to build up the military, you have to wonder if they really have an economic situation that can support this. Their economy ain't so hot.
I thought I read one time that this kind of crazy defense spending is what helped lead to the downfall of the soviets in the 80's. They were trying for decades to keep up with the U.S and it all came crashing down on them.
