Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI):
US and China are account for almost half of world's military spending, Global spending on defense hit $1.82 trillion in 2018, up 2.6% on the previous year and the highest figure since 1988, the first year that reliable global data was available, according to the Swedish think tank.

This is while there are 40 thousands US military veterans are living on streets.

A Stockholm think tank said on Tuesday as it estimated 10 percent of this could cover the costs of global goals aiming to end poverty and hunger in 15 years.

I agree. I am curious , who funds the never ending war in Afghanistan on the Taliban side?

Russia, Pakistan, Iran and China

Here's a bar graph that says pretty much the same thing...but it's almost unfair to combine the stats of China and the U.S. We are FAR ahead of China in military spending, bases, world wide, active duty troops, and suffering, neglected veterans.

We spend nearly three times what China, with three times larger population, spends.

The per capita spending on military is ten times higher for the U.S. than any other nation.

Homelessness among veteran's is a problem, but 40 million? That's over 10% of the US population.
