So much money for so much destruction

That famous line from an interview with Gandhi has been on my mind again. When a reporter once asked Gandhi what he thought of Western civilization, he famously replied: “I think it would be a good idea.”

The world has become more dangerous, not safer, from my perspective.

If the world had armed Ukraine faster and better this could have been avoided, in my view. And now, any dictator with nuclear weapons is going to feel very cocky knowing that there will be little resistance for their potential aggressive actions.

The numbers below in the pie chat are just staggering. And this is in one year. Wow, imagine if this kind of money was spent building hospitals and schools and helping to feed those who are starving.

I fear a bigger war is coming. I hope I am wrong though.
