People often talking about the strength of armed forced in terms of how much money was spent on them, but money does not guarantee quality. Russia shows that you can have a big but useless military. Ukraine shows how you can do a lot with a little. It's possible to sink massive amounts of money into useless weapon systems, not to mention the corruption around their procurement.

I'd like militaries to look a bit more at effectiveness, at having a military that they can actually use, and that is well suited for the kind of missions they're likely to use them for, and not merely at size and money.
