The USA invades at least as many countries as Russia.

Purely statistically you cannot even compare them:

    |US invasions| >> |Russia invasions|

But maybe it is because of the difference in GDP:

    |US invasions| / GDP ~= |Russia invasions| / GDP

So you're saying that having a large GDP is a justification to invade other countries?

He or she is using |Invasions| / GDP as a measure of predisposition to invading. claiming that russia would invade more countries if it had the money.

Why '/' but not '*'?

Please tell me, what countries had their parts annexed by USA in last century?
