and i just found this:

•US military spending accounts for 46.5 percent, or almost half, of the world’s total military spending
•US military spending is 7 times more than China, 13 times more than Russia, and 73 times more than Iran.
•US military spending is some 44 times the spending on the six “rogue” states (Cuba, Iran, Libya, North Korea, Sudan and Syria) whose spending amounts to around $16 billion.
•US spending is more than the next top 14 countries at least.
•The United States and its strongest allies (the NATO countries, Japan, South Korea and Australia) spend something in the region of $1.1 trillion on their militaries combined, representing 72 percent of the world’s total.
•The six potential “enemies,” Russia, and China together account for about $169 billion or 24% of the US military budget.
