Global military spending soars in wake of Ukraine war, study shows

NATO countries got caught off guard. "Oh..the Cold War is over! No more need to spend big bucks on big toys! We just gotta worry about cave dwelling lunatics from now on!"

Wow, quite the increase.

I didn’t realize Saudi Arabia was the #4 spender.

It’s also startling how much China’s spending has increased. Given their productivity, arguably they are the actual effective leader now in added capability per annum.

I'm shocked, SHOCKED, the military industrial complex is profiting off of this!

This isn't good. More endless war, more war profiterring, less peace, less trade.
