So, achieving world peace while spending more on their defense budget ... that's counter-intuitive.

It is by the threat of force that peace is maintained.

100B that could have served better in the hands of their people, but nah I digress.

I'm pretty sure we spend more on other things outside of defense. I think we spend most on social security.

Well at least it helps keep people in the defense industry employed.

We'd be much better off if they were employed in another industry. Shocking amount of money wasted on weapons. 

I think some of those weapons are eventually sold to NATO allies so it's not a total waste. Also, better safe than sorry!
