russias and china's military spendings and activities are a boring breeze compared to american spendings and actions in these sectors. How many times is the american budget greater than that of Russia and China together? Bush wants 480 billion for 2008. China had 34 billion in 2007, germany had 28 billion, russia had 32 billion. With 420 billion in 2005 the American budget was greater than that of the next 160+ spending states together.
