I’m guessing if there was another video graphing return on investment, France would be continuously at the bottom.
Goes a long way to explain why we haven’t had WW3, WW4, … WWx
Every time (after WW2) someone got close to our spending, some part of the world ended up with Soviet or proxy troops killing people or breaking things. Korea, Burma, Yemen, Zimbabwe, Angola, Vietnam, Cambodia, et cetera ad nauseum.
All of the current Islamic “misunderstanding” is a result of Western liberals thinking Muslims define “peace” the same way we do. Islam means “submission”. And like Ronald Reagan said, speaking broadly about all of the enemies of liberty:
“There is no argument over the choice between peace and war, but there is only one guaranteed way you can have peace–and you can have it in the next second–surrender.” (from “A Time for Choosing”)
Seems no one is beating Imperial Germany and the Third Reich for spending.
