Should weaker countries invest more in their militaries?

I know people working in the weapons Industry and since germany is the 3rd biggest weapons export nation I think it has some good perspectives if someone upgrades their weapons. I seriously dont see a good reason for countries like canada to build up military strength. Canada is in the NATO if they are attacked basically 70% of the worlds military must protect them.

Besides Japan has no military they have the japan self defence force which is legally just civilians.

Also there wont be a war like it used too. The global economics would collapse and this would be devastating for everyone.

And you have to realize no matrer how much canada spends for military the USA would ALWAYS walk over canada if they are commited to do so. Canada is not even in the top ranks and the second place (china) spends 5 times less for military then USA. USA spends MORE then 10 of the other top rank countries combined namely china uk france russia germany japan saudi arabia italy india south korea.

Its from 2009 and aslong as China hasnt massively increased their expenses it should still be valid.
