> All countries which do not spend anything like what we do on defense, are not under Chinese or russian domination, AND nearly all have longer life expectancy than we do while at the same time spending much much much less on a per capita basis on health care than the US does. They are under US domination, though we call it Hegemony. The 2% of national budget spent of the defense of these countries is not holding the geopolitical balance of power in check. Infact these counties would need to pay much more without the US.
