Given the USA spends more on its military than the rest of the planet combined—no, you can be happy in the knowledge that your government decided it wasn’t worrying enough to obliterate
Technicallynot the truth… The USA was responsible for about 37% of total global spending on military in 2023, and is the largest single spender (in US$ equivalent) globally. However, as a percentage of GDP the USA doesn’t even make the top 15. (and if you’re talking about a nation’s spending priorities then the percentage matters more than the $ value)
