Now that you know that, compare US military spending versus the spending for all US entitlement programs: Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, etc. There’s even a pie chart that appears in the back of the 1040 tax book to show you.
No wonder people the world over are trying to get to the United States.
How much of the military budget goes for personnel? Compared to other large militaries, we have extensive comforts and benefits, from housing to medical care to the dependents of military members. I don’t think most large militaries go in for any of that.
The US GDP for 2020 was $21 trillion.
With that, we spent < $800 billion on our military... or 4%
The US govt spending for 2020 was ~$6 trillion.
which would make military spending ~13%
in comparison, we spent ~70% of all US govt spending on entitlements
If we stopped all adventures, we wouldn’t need to spend near as much on the military.
The USA is the #1 arms dealer in the world. Biden will increase that. I think it funny that the Left wants guns removed from US citizens, but vote in people who are willing to put automatic weapons into the hands of 3rd world warlords to kill unarmed citizens......
The problem is too much of this is spent on typical bureaucrat social welfare schemes and not enough on actual readiness to fight a war. A real war. Not another insurgent war we fight under rules designed to lose, but a real war we damn well better win.

Make the comparison in man-hours in each country, it will look much different.
I’ve seen few analyses which outline that with these figures the CCP is outspending the US 2:1...
The Ruble doesn't go as far as it used to.
