Question: The US military budget is larger than how many of the countries of the rest of the world combined?
We live in a world in which over a billion people rely on wood and dung for heating and have no access to electricity. We live in a world in which more people die in one day from starvation than in an entire year from terrorism.
A: The US military budget of $623 billion is larger than the budgets of all the countries in the rest of the world put together. The total global military budget of the rest of the world is $500 billion. Russia's military budget is $50 billion, South Koreas is $21 billion, and Irons is $4.3 billion. (Source: GlobalSecurity.org) These are 2007 figures.
Next highest on the list is China, which spends 1/10th of what the US spends on their military.
Who would Jesus bomb? That's the bumper-sticker question I have to ask myself.
