We spend 3.5% of our GDP on defense and that’s actually far more than most countries. We have the 6th highest GPD to military spending ratio in the world. The countries who spend more of their GDP are relativity tiny. They amount to 11% of the total global spending on defense vs the USA’s 39%.
The second largest GDP is China- they spend 1.6% of their GDP on defense. Third is Japan @ 1.1%… You get the idea.
Regarding the 2% NATO obligation- most members don’t make it so it doesn’t seem to be a real obligation.
This is fantastic. I’ve been a $5 Kagi user for a few months and have been really enjoying it. The only issue has been that sometimes when I’m working on a project I need to blow through a ton of similar queries to find what I’m looking for; I’ve been forced to switch back to google for those. Now I’ve upgraded and am going full Kagi.
