UN: Global Military Spending Exceeds $2.9 Trillion To understand the scale of this sum, just look at the cost of solving other global problems. For comparison:
- Complete eradication of hunger by 2030 requires approximately 93 billion dollars per year. - It takes 300 billion dollars a year to eliminate poverty on a planetary scale.
- Vaccinating all the children in the world will cost 285 billion dollars. The priorities of the capitalist system are clear.
