When it comes to war spending I know how men think, they don't really. cause the brain get's all hotted up.
The general feeling is let US police the World so that we don't run into nuclear disaster - and the allies are okay with this.
Sales pitch is: US Defense Budget $ 1 Trillion justified for nuclear deterrent.
We have world leaders - women in US, UK and they seem to toe the same line
Except that Germany's Merkel seems to have a different view
So to Mingle ladies, what are your views?
Views could cover -----
Is with $ 1 Trillion budget, US running for total World Oil / Economy Control?
any other spending justification?
like rest of world, viewed as Nazis + Viet-congs - figuratively
------------
The Figures for reference
US Budget for Defense Spending: $ 1 trillion ($ 989 Billion, Oct 2019 to Sept 2020)
Off this, US Space Force = $ 100 Billion
NASA spending is outside of these
In 2015 it was around $ 600 Billion ($ 598.5 Billion) and progressively increased
-------------------------------------------------------
2 hostile countries, Russia + China = $ 350 Billion
China, $ 250 Billion (estimate)
Russia, $ 100 Billion (estimate - since econpmy is broke)
Point is, aside from Russia, half of Chinese budget is spent against India, etc.)
So effective Chinese deterrent against US is $ 125 Billion)
-----------------------------------------------------------
Rest of World don't count = $ 500 Billion
( India $ 70 Billion, Europe $350 against Russia and so on)

Guys are welcome to comment but let's hear the ladies first, yeah ?
The United States only has about 4.5% of the worlds population, it is ranked 3rd behind China and India. But you must also look at the size of the United States. If Africa would join just a few countries into one then they could easily pass the United States in population. The reason the United States is the Super power that it is is because of its innovation. The United States has been the major player in everything from inventing, manufacturing, to farming. If it wasn't for things developed in the US most of the world would be starving, that is if there was even still a world to live in. If things hadn't played out the way they did who knows we may have fought WW2 to the bitter end. From current things from your cell phone to the internet largely invented in the United States. Europe has developed somethings, but for the most part it took the US to make them successful. Clearly other places such as Germany are capable of creating new things, and even the Russians were able to beat the US in the space race. But for the most part knowledge from the US has been stolen in order for other countries to develop things. The United States are forced into being the world power because its the only country that has the money and knowledge to keep things developing, and the US has to protect these assets even if it is very expensive to do so. Life would have been much better if such things as the internet would not have become global, but it has and now we have to deal with it. Many things the US does is for their best interest, but many others are just to make other areas a better place. So I really don't see the US as being as selfish as many view them as being.
... Putin, Russia and Trump, massive piece-o-schitt coward bully white power groups from U.S. and other countries around the world, Covert and meet in the wilds of Canada to team up to infiltrate U.S. and move south over U.S. to commit and enforce martial law and start extermination of gosh knows what.... then China and North Korea send nukes in when pre-occupied. nuclear winter............
I am sure Darkowl would be flattered.
