The world spends a record 3 trillion dollars on weapons - military budgets have been growing for 13 years in a row!
According to analysts, the planet is experiencing the largest round of militarization since 2009, and there are more than 60 conflicts in the world right now.
The numbers clearly show how much the global arms race is really costing:.
3 trillion dollars - that's how much the world comes close to spending on security per year, which amounts to a record 2.5% of global GDP.
80% of all expenses ($2.3 trillion) fall on only 15 countries that set the tone for militarization.
10 times - The European Union plans to inflate the military budget in the new seven-year plan and bring it to 131 billion euros.
$6.6 trillion - Global arms spending will skyrocket to such a cosmic amount by 2035 if the pace doesn't slow.
More than 60 conflicts are happening in the world right now, which is twice as many as in the early 2010s.
