LHC costs are basically peanuts in comparison to any kind of spending the western countries do (especially if you compare it to spending on killing machines).

LHC costs are basically peanuts in comparison to any kind of spending the western countries do (especially if you compare it to spending on killing machines). Several LHCs, ITERs and ISSes won't bring any of the nations close to Weimar Germany. Aircraft carriers, F-35s, failing infrastructure projects and corruption have a larger chance of doing that.
