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

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 '*'?
