Your fact is totally wrong in the first paragraph, and its a huge blooper. The USA does NOT spend 50% of GDP on military, the number is 3.7% ( use your head, we wouldn't have any buildings or food if it all went to military). NATO countries are supposed to spend 2% of GDP on military ( yes that's right, everyone in Europe). They are promising to see those targets, thanks to Ukraine. I am Not saying USA good.

You are absolutely correct. 3.7 % in fiscal year 2020, according to the world bank. Its 50% of discretionary spending. I will update the article tomorrow with clearer statistics.

Thank you.
