What a surprise… United States appears 6 times in the top 10 military producers. If only the tax payers knew this is where their money is going. All this money spent on arms and military could feed Africa for 1000 + years. A sad world it is…

That is right!
and they also hold 7 positions in the top 10 list of arms and weapons manufacturers.

Unfortunately as you said it is a sad world. Some countries feed the world with massive weapon and arms goods for billions of dollars and then complain about the resulting terrorism.

The money that could be to used to build schools, hospitals, roads and feed the hungry children….

oh no wait they are the same countries that warn us about earth’s “over population”!

Ok admittedly yes the world is sad, and I will also agree the statistics are shocking, but unless the US spends this kind of money and keeps itself ahead of the likes of China and Russia, we will all be taken over and turned into communists. How sad would you all be then. Just in case you didnt know 80% of your taxes in the US is spent on arms.
