Loss of sight is frequently preventable. The amount wasted on war by many nations could have eradicated blindness worldwide a long time ago.

This film is 3 years old & many advances have since occurred. Hopefully others will contribute to this thread.

Tell that to Putin.

The amount spent by Russia is nothing in comparison to that of the US. which spent over $800 billion in 2021 probably down compared to 2022 by about $50billion given the extraordinary investment in its Ukrainian proxy war. In comparison Russia only spent a miserable $65.9 billion or less than 10% of the US figure for the year.
That $800 billion represented a staggering 34% of world spending on military.

And -

1% of the $2.113 trillion world wide 2021 spend each year is $20 billion together with the equivalent 1% in each respective year for the last 70 years if having been committed to fighting blights on human beings like blindness, starvation, clean potable water, education etc. would by now have seen the eradication of many if not most of the problems thus improving the lot of humanity.
