U.S. Spends More on Military Than Rest of NATO Combined

On the eve of the June 14 NATO Summit in Brussels, the alliance’s headquarters published an overview over member countries’ military expenses. With annual military budgets of $702, $717 and $726 billion for each of the years 2019-2021, the United States alone spends more than all other NATO member nations together. A lot of money if one takes into account that the U.S.A. has no acknowledged enemy (as long as one ignores the British Empire); and that the money could be spent for useful projects to build a world with a shared future for all of mankind, as China has proposed, or for providing health care delivery systems in every country—certainly within the context of U.S. defense—as the Committee for the Coincidence of Opposites, headed by Schiller Institute Chair Helga Zepp-LaRouche and former U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Joycelyn Elders MD.
