@everythingecon: In 1960 the US alone was almost two-thirds of the world's military spending. The Soviet Union never reported a number at all. Whose rise surprises you most? #militaryspending #geopolitics #coldwar #dataviz #History #economics

Crazy how US spends all that money just to lose to Iran. How embarrassing.

Kalki :

AgentBlue :

Just imagine if that money was spent on improving people’s lives instead of ending them.

RUSSIAN_ASSET :

USSR??!!

Karol Koter :

ByGanio :

1 USD for China is much more efficient than 1 USD for the USA

ghostly :

Karen 🇨🇦 🇨🇳 🇵🇸 🇮🇷 :

America spending so much money still cannot defeat second tier military country Iran what a joke

Ryder Bettencourt🇺🇸 :

Imagine if we put that into a sovereign wealth fund like Norway's.

flying fool :

China multiply it by 4x they get good killing power for their money.

Spending does not guarantee winning wars. Russia vs Ukraine and USA vs Iran

ManDavo 🍷 :

Africa shrinking

💸Sin💸 :

I have seen maps of the defense spending of the Soviet Union around the same amount as the usa

Cezar :

It’s genuinely insane that in 1960 the us wasn’t only the most powerful country but it was also a world hegemony being more powerful than all others combined they could’ve taken over the world.

i.Cyber.Cat 🇨🇳 :

Spend the most, get the least! America rocks 👍

Rrrrzzzr :

US could not shot Iranian drones

Manolin Rodriguez :

pero USA se le va el presupuesto en sobrecostes. Rusia te fábrica la misma arma por 10 veces menos

Bredatje :

The US includes healthcare and pensions. Soldiers costs 750.000 dollars a year, europe that some Soldiers 130.000. What would a Chinese and Russian soldiers cost. GDP is a stupid number

ّ :

Saudi Arabia is spending more than Iran and Israel 😂😂
