Those countries aren't as rich in resources as America. They also have much less strategic value. You could just go around either one.

Couldn't a country/coalition of countries invade the enitre world and go around America?
 
just to think 10% cut will give everyone health insurance
$40 billion / 280 million = $143.00 per person, and you'll get exactly what you pay for, too. Try smoking something a little less harsh on the brain cells and try again.

Absolutely, I do feel much safer here in US. Napoleon once said: "A nation that does not want to feed its own military will feed someone else's." Well said IMO.

A 10% "cut" of $400 billion = $40 billion

I'm serious, find something that isn't as hard on the neurons. You can't even remember what you said five minutes ago. That's some serious short-term memory loss dude.
 
Hummm, Japan, Brazil, and Italy all spent over 10 billions plus and you never heard anything military related about them. Must be the $500 toilet ..LOL.

then give it to the people who live below the povery mind, yes my math is fvcked. i'm trying to gdo too many things at once
 
Vietnam has a larger budget than N. Korea? No way, they don't even have nukes, hell, they don't even have anything that's made after 1975 (May be that's why).

Oh hey, about 12.1% of the US population lives below the poverty line. That would work-out to about $1142 per person. With that kind of booty to 'uplift' them, they can go out and buy...umm...a 12 year-old car in need of repair!

Consider how much better things are in a more Socialist-leaning country with a much more compassionate "public welfare safety net" like Great Britain, where only 22% of the population lives below the poverty line.

and in an even more socialist leaning country like France or Belgium only 4-7% of the population lives below the poverty line

from CIA world facts : France 6,4%

From the same source: USA 12,7%

Belgium: 4%

It seems to me that the UK (and the USA) needs more "socialism" to get the same result
