Based on that, the US spends more than the remainder of the top 10 countries combined, most of which are allies.
The US could cut its defense budget in half and still be spending more than China and Russia (spots 2 and 3) combined.
- Auracle 1y agoWe also need to pay our people/manufacturers significantly more than either of those countries. Don’t get wrong, we’ve all heard stories about $5,000 toilet seats or whatever but without actual changes on that front we can’t cut our budget in half and be competitive.
