Top 15 nations with the highest military expenditure

[PERSIAN GOD KING]

Well, they can win wars against conventional armies, but not against guerillas.

Its called strategy, the americans print their own money out of thin air and use it to pay for lots of planes and ships. so why would anyone go head to head with them.

Because of % of GDP

Well its not a strategy used by a conventional force, it is a form of irregular warfare and fought by irregular military members.

But you didn't say anything like that in that post

 

[Firemaster]

Unbelievable India spending is 2.5% and yet indians here want to increase it further.

It is the matter of amount not % of GDP

[PERSIAN GOD KING]

GDP is bs, a countires revenues is what counts.

what is Canada spending so much for... who's going to attack them anyways.

UK and France has threats them to, terror and international operations.

who WANTS to attack Canadians anyways....they harmless

in US case, at least i can understand.....they do have enemies; and surely some of their defence spending goes towards security arrangements along the border with Mexico....

the US could easily save money if it stopped supporting foreign military presence in faraway places (e.g. Okinawa, Japan)

The United States spends more on its military than rest of the top 15 nations with the highest military expenditure. The list is

US($698 billion)
China ($119 bn)
UK ($59.6 bn)
France ($59.3bn)
Russia ($58.7bn)
Japan ($54.5bn)
Germany ($45.2bn)
Saudi Arabia ($45.2bn)
India ($41.3bn)
Italy ($37bn)
Brazil ($33.5bn)
South Korea ($27.6bn)
Australia ($24bn)
Canada ($22.8bn)
Turkey ($17.5bn)

--------------------------------

India spends only $41.3bn. Putty for its size. Countries such as UK and France who don't even have enemies spend more than India does. India should increase its defense budget taking into account the largeness of the country and rivals it has in this region.

What is your take on this?

..........and it still get's it's a** owned in all the wars.....

The guerrillas don't spend as much yet they do a wonderful job!

Well guerrillas are able to hide within the local population and get support from them. This makes them effective.

And I'm assuming that 1971 was a tactical retreat?
Please... you are baiting the hook on this one.



Lastly, around 50,000 Kashmiris have died in the insurgency in Kashmir.
Whosoever killed them, they are still dead and I don't think the survivors would call it a wonderful job.

Such ignorance... taking pleasure out of suffering of civilians. And that's what happens, the civilians suffer the most...but I guess it is all well being behind the keyboard. Whatever your side is, you can't find anything great in this suffering.

 

[Abii]

lmao
more than 10 percent of GDP!!!
Countries don't spend that much when they're in war! The opportunity cost of something like this must be HUGE.

Their weapons are exclusively Chinese. Pakistani weapons will soon be primarily based on Chinese systems. So if A = B and B = C ; then A = C. Simple.

who WANTS to attack Canadians anyways....they harmless

I hope you are aware of Arctic Dispute, Russians have violated Canadian Air Space several times in the past when it comes to Arctic and Alaska previously, CF-18s have been intercepting them regularly Alaska Region is 24/7 Active.

Lets not make fun the crazy russians are still stock full of weapons, looking back at Canadian Armed Forces in WW I/II was impressive.
