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.

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!

Better safe then sorry? You have thousands of nukes. Nobody is fucking with you. Again an absolutely shocking waste of money that would be better spent elsewhere. Why not invest 200bn in a deprived city like detroit for example. In America your governments value pointless arms races over your poorest citizens. Fucked up situation.
