Countries with the Highest Military Spending

All the haters can hate on the US but there is no denying that our innovation and military power is unmatched. That, plus the fact 500M firearms belong to the citizens 🇺🇸 🫡

US was at around $1B in 1937 and now we’re close to $1T. So basically 1,000X in 90 years.

God I hate the late 60's but I didn't know i hated it so much. That's when the US started ruining europe.

Its not really our military, we just pay for it.

Huge waste of money. If humans weren't intrinsically criminals and murders and a bit more evolved, we'd have been traveling the stars by now. Instead we're going to end with nuclear war.

All for nothing. Where did our taxpayer dollars go? When $30,000 drones can take out BILLION DOLLAR Navy ships? Our CORRUPT government will be the downfall of this great country

Misleading

It’s actually amazing how large the Russia budget was for the first half the 20th century, seeing as how the average infantry was barely supplied and barely armed. Just a pure numbers game

How much of the united states money was spent to corruption?

It’s just asinine. We ignore every single last one of our people’s needs down to healthcare, public amenities, and infrastructure all so we can spend 3 times more on our wasteful military than anyone else

So US is 34T in debt. Without Military spending they would have a huge plus?

Until 1947, the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 was mostly in the Top 2, thanks to the wealth they looted from India 🇮🇳

I feel so sad looking at how much inflation has risen over the last century

Back when $1 billion meant something

Sad how much money goes to kill humans instead of making their lives better.

Only USA has the means to spend a much without neglecting their other important expenditures. all the other countries just spent without thinking about own nation buiding

The US and Soviets were definitely going toe to toe for many years.

And they are trying to punt that Russia is a threat. Hahahahaaaaaaa you have to be proper retarded to believe that

Everyone see’s China right? Look how they have tripled their budget I the last 15 years.

Please correct me if I'm wrong here, but doesn't the uk give financial aid to India...? But they spend more on their military than we can afford on ours? If true, you'd truly sums up the successive weak UK governments

nonsense. At the beginning of the 20th century, Germany had the highest military spending in the world.

Sad part is, where could our civilization be if that money was spent for good instead of deal with leaders with pathetic egos.

crazy. all that and yet they cant do anything of substance to Iran

The one for social welfare spending is far more scary. We spend more than five times the budget on retarded people

The biggest misunderstanding about this is that it's not equal comparison. The U.S. doesn't have conscripts and funds a lot of non-military projects under the DoD because of how funding is handled in DC.

Keep an eye on Germany seems like history repeats

“Peaceful and pacifist” Japan has recently spent more money than “aggressive” Israel?

This puts everything into perspective.

Pension and health care for all living retired military personnel and their spouses and dependants are a part of this , including research of new weapon systems.

It is 85% to 90% grift once you realize how they layer contract on contract on contract … there is a reason they can never pass an audit.

Not seeing Iran

death to murka

Crazy how russia spends waay less but has more hardware than the USA. I’m starting to think our military is just money laundering.
