Some people are thick and think we pay all the money, like Trump. There is no "pot" where all the money goes in. Each country is supposed to spend 2% of it's GDP on it's defense budget. Obama had it worked out that countries would be up to 2% by this year, but some countries hit that figure very early. The problem they have is that they haven't built up the armament and munitions manufacturing capability right now.*Boggle*
You don't really follow the news at all, do you?
NATO countries and what they spend as a percentage of GDP: 2020
upi.com - NATO countries now spending of GDP on defense report shows.
Oct. 21 (UPI) -- NATO countries' military spending grew in 2020 for the sixth straight year, but only 10 of 30 members spent two percent of GDP, a report on Wednesday said.Obama? Lol.
Germany barely spends 1 and a half percent.
The other problem is that there seems to be a large anti-democratic force within MAGA that wants authoritarianism..Sez the faction that supports a government/private sector collaboration to stifle dissent and squelch speech. The world played out that movie for the first time in the 1920's. It was called Italian fascism.
Do better.
