IW: "As for giving Indonesia money for natural disasters? I gave plenty but never again,

they spend billions on the military, they have one of the largest land armies in the world and we give them aid?"

 

"they have one of the largest land armies in the world and we give them aid?"  Nonsense

 

IW,  within a debate the accuracy of statements is indicative of  the author's  reliability. The above statement apropos army size is absolute nonsense, as Indonesia comes in at around 15th internationally.

 

"Two other demographic heavyweights are punching below their weight - Indonesia, with a population of 250,000,000 has an army of 230,000, while Brazil, with a population of 200,000,000, has an army of 190,000."

 

As for Indonesia's military expenditure,  it is currently around $8billion compared with Australia's $26billion.
