Världens militärkostnader 2008
"In other words
* US military spending accounts for 48 percent, or almost half, of the world’s total military spending
* US military spending is more than the next 46 highest spending countries in the world combined
* US military spending is 5.8 times more than China, 10.2 times more than Russia, and 98.6 times more than Iran.
* US military spending is almost 55 times the spending on the six “rogue” states (Cuba, Iran, Libya, North Korea, Sudan and Syria) whose spending amounts to around $13 billion, maximum. (Tabulated data does not include four of the six, as the data only lists nations that have spent over 1 billion in the year, so their budget is assumed to be $1 billion each)
* US spending is more than the combined spending of the next 45 countries.
* The United States and its strongest allies (the NATO countries, Japan, South Korea and Australia) spend $1.1 trillion on their militaries combined, representing 72 percent of the world’s total.
* The six potential “enemies,” Russia, and China together account for about $205 billion or 29% of the US military budget."

Är detta verkligen normalt? Befolkningen klagar på när deras president vill ge de sjukvård för det kostar mer i skatt, men skiter samtidigt i att de offrar otroliga 44,4% av sin statsbudget på KRIG! Eller står för 48,28% för att vara exakt av hela världens militärkostnader år 2008.
Kapitalets stat USA upphör aldrig att förvåna!
