Just look at the numbers—we're spending only $165 per person on defence while the rest of the world spends $827, leaving us 80% below the median. That’s not just embarrassing, it’s downright reckless when we’re facing real threats. We should be demanding $760 per person, because right now we’re getting what you’d expect from a backwater, not a nation that matters.
