U.S. military spending: $740 billion Russia's military spending: $60.6 billion Spending more on wars will not make us safer. Spending more on childcare, dental care, eyeglasses, hearing aids, paid leave, job creation, housing and combating climate change will. Let's get it done.

Spending on the military is not the same as spending on wars. Strong militaries deter war since no sane country would attack a country or its interests if it has a strong military. US GDP is 13x Russia but military spending is 12x. So both spend about the same relative to GDP.

I agree!

That's 4.3% of Russia's GDP. While ours is 3.7% of ours. statista.com/statistics/2668…

It would be cheaper to lovebomb countries, like Santa does Iraq in this South Park clip: southpark.cc.com/video-clips…

I wonder much of our military spending relates to inflated profit margin of military contractors.

Did interfering in the 2016 election and helping elect Trump do more damage to democracy than the trillions our government has spent?
