A quickie here as a follow up to the posts I’ve put up about “American exceptionalism” of late:

Let’s burn this image into our brains.   Is it any wonder our society is collapsing from within (see link above) given it spends so much money on the military relative to the rest of the world?

We’re letting everything else go  — bridges, schools, housing, medical care — but hey, we can bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran!

Oh, on that note:

Iran’s is not a big enough proportion of world arms spending to show up on this graph, which doesn’t show countries that are lower than 2% of the global total.
