Good point, who are they going to fight?
Increase in spending seems to be about $500 a year per person in the US, couldn't that be better spent on internal problems?Jon Miller: MikeH speaks the truth
Jon Miller: MikeH is a shockingly revolting dolt and a masturbatory urine-reeking sideshow freak whose word is as valuable as an aging cow paddy.

Well I would like to know what is the goal of current US administration with all that spending.
Anyway i did not expect that 40% of the military spending in the world is spent by the US

"Anyway i did not expect that 40% of the military spending in the world is spent by the US"
The funny thing is the next 20-25 % are spent by western europe, and another 5 % or so by Japan.
I suppose US defense contractors and military toy-boys aren't happy before they reach the 100 % mark...

60% will be good enough though. Reaching the 100% mark will require "removing" some of the competition, so to speak.Originally posted by Roland

As for who we might be ready to fight? Whole lotta people in china. If they ever get mad at us, we would need to be prepared."Mal nommer les choses, c'est accroître le malheur du monde" - Camus (thanks Davout)

I am wandering who are the next nine states.
40% US next nine together spend the same as US...
I guess they are Russia, China, UK, France, Italy, India, Pakistan, Iraq, Turkey any other guesses? Iran, Japan, Taiwan, Spain, Germany come to mind?
I think that the first five are defintiley in with Turkey and India the next best.Socrates: "Good is That at which all things aim, If one knows what the good is, one will always do what is good." Brian: "Romanes eunt domus"

Chinese don't have the navy to mount an amphibious assault on Taiwan. How, exactly, are they going to do anything to the US?Jon Miller: MikeH speaks the truth

gives a little margin for error
(but seriously, I think that social spending should raise also (which means taxes should raise))
