  • with neighbors like Canada/ Mexico and 2 large Oceans... some ppl in the USA must be fucking paranoid to spend more than the rest of the world combined!

    terrorist

    sure those 19 evildoers are just a poor excuse for what has become a new Empire exporting "democracy" to the middle east ... and will soon sell us the NEW WORLD ORDER!!

  • let these Americans starve to death with their wars, if those republicans and niggers do not want to stop spending on wars than let them live in poverty and shit.

  • A clip I took from the economist.

    "How many soldiers, planes, tanks, rifles, etc can China buy with it's defense budget? How many can the U.S. buy? I suspect the price of a soldier in China is very small whereas in the U.S. they are very expensive, when total compensation and veterans benefits are considered. In other words,China gets a hell of lot more bang for its buck than we do. How about a new bar graph on that basis?"

    Military is Cheap in China, like most things there.

    USA - U Cut U lose

  • Chinese money spent in China on anything, including weapons made in China should be just like the beer, food and everything else there. $1 buys 6x more in China than US, so to keep up or stay ahead you have to spend 6x more.

    Is this difficult math? It sucks, but I'm in no hurry to become Chinese, so I suggest we stay ahead in this department. (More) Its not simple like u think...

  • RT may have put this out but it's sooooooooooooooooo true. Between the Pentagon the banksters and tycoons- it's a new age of robber barons

  • Lets look at those numbers.

    USA 687

    China 114

    These are dollars, not Yuan.

    Yuan to Dollar exchange rate 6.5:1

    Since 1 dollar buys about 6 dollars worth of beer in China, and 1 dollar buys about 6 dollars worth of food and (everything else)

    Can I assume that if they are making their own weapons that 1 dollar buys six dollars worth of weapons? 114.3x6=685

    So,China is buying 685.8 billion worth of defense with their deflated currency?

    USA should spend more, not less.

  • @phuckRT A math genius you are not, Tard.

  • @xjlmt My $1 Chinese calculator says 114.3x6 = 685.8

    Thats conservative. Using the ACTUAL 6.5:1 exchange rate, I get 742.95 Billion.

    That means that in practical terms the Chinese are probably buying and doing alot more "stuff", military wise.

    The price of tea is cheaper in China. I think the USA would be very stupid to let the tip of its sword get dull.

  • Research Nano-Thermite on 9/11

  • These Idiots .....

  • CFR The council of foreign shareholders ( the mega-corporate-gang-banksters of new york ) and their partners over seas control all western nations. All major banks in in the western world and beyond make contributions

  • I live in the USA and I'm one of the numerous US citizens who is sick of the wars like no-one's business. The citizens want peace while the gov't does whatever it wants regardless. It's all a bunch of backscratching in 'The White House' paid for by the people. This whole country is going belly-up while the ritch line their pockets. What needs to happen is this whole country needs to get together in Washington-D.C. and TAKE THE COUNTRY BACK FROM THE GOV'T. NO MORE WAR.

  • @Ferior US will always see you as a threat as long as you increase economically and militarily, dont act like China is innocent, China is willing to start WWIII over Tiawon!

  • @TheAlbanianmusic2010 Your a fucking idiot. America is going to collapse look at it's debpt. Oh and it's obvious that it's education system fails. The richest and most stable countries will soon be the BRIC countries, do you know what they are. (Im British)

  • 700 Billion dollars is not a defence budget it's a world conquest budget

  • Budget: A method for going broke methodically...

  • Republicans and Democrats wish to see civil unrest!

  • freedumb

  • wtf golf courses

    

  • @Scotty3663 The United States government has been hijacked by Globalists and Corporations....its not the American people....average Americans are in serious trouble under this regime unless they can turn off the TV, put the Pizza down and put into prison the criminals, including monkey boy Obama.

  • America - the cancer that has to be removed with surgical equipment

  • America "seriously what the fuck are you going to do about your out of control gov"?

    the world is waiting

  • @thedevos1981 Average Americans are scared of their government, scared of the IRS, the FBI, and the rest of the acronyms coming after them - there will be a tipping point however, when that will occur is anyone's guess, but it will happen here as well. There will be a point when the majority will wake up from their Satellite TV and video game induced slumber and say, hey, fuck these idiots, they work for us!

  • @thedevos1981 fuck yes!

  • WW3

  • Don't worry. The US empire will crash with a currency crash. Remember the USSR? We are right behind you brother.

  • mcain...your such a piece of shit....

  • @Scotty3663 Except this time the bad guys will win and the good guys will loose haha.

  • What the hell does America spend $700 billion on?

    Proberbly Super Size McDonalds Meals for its soldiers.

  • @RaaGoneFishing its funny..the only mcdonalds in all of central america is in guantanamo bay for the american security and staff there...

  • @RaaGoneFishing Don't forget wheelchairs for us too fat to move... doesn't change the fact that we are the only world superpower out there doing whatever we wan't while you ruskies only report, and talk about it while doing nothing to stop us.

  • @locolalo1364 ha, you are a fool, it was a joke but still, America is going into decay anyway, $1.3 trillion deficit, $14 trillion national debt, what country spends $700 billion on its military when its economy is failing? Theres nothing proud of being the world record holder of debt, you Americans pay for your military from Chinese loans, call that a super power?

  • @RaaGoneFishing The Fact that all nations are still scared to have some sort of aggression against us, Yes I call that a superpower. Problem? When will the world grow some balls and challenge the U.S Properly?

  • @locolalo1364 your a fool, no one wants war, if there is a war your warmongering country will start it, Russia doesnt want a war and never will, we suffered enough in WWII while you did nothing, if WWIII happens only America will start it not us.

  • @RaaGoneFishing Ha. You claim that Russia doesn't wan't a war.. That might be possible but it doesn't change the fact that most idiots here on RT are craving for a war against America which is why I stated what I did previously.

  • @locolalo1364 Most of these people here are not Russian, however looking at American media all what you see is war war kill kill, its America craving for a war not us, look at America, involved in three wars at once, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, who next? North Korea, Iran? Reason why America is so agressive is because it never suffered bombs on its cities, if it does im sure America will never want war again.

  • @locolalo1364 You said that "...most idiots here on RT are craving for a war against America..." How come?

  • Comment removed

  • Americans are getting raped by the government-military-industrial­-complex-banksters.

    --

    Trading America's future for worldwide hatred..... not a good deal if you ask me.

  • @Scotty3663 Hopefully not if the people act in those countries. America's people seem to be angering more and more recently. Even if it came to internal revolution, the world would be much better off.

  • Why am I part of the United Kingdom. Can't Scotland just be independent and be neutral! : ( I know that would never happen, but I would like it too.

  • OMG! RT reporters are the cutest and smartest!!!

  • what we need to do is keep on them. teach your children about this. what usually happens is one generation inherits the failures of the last one. then after the recovering generation fixes everything the next one gets fat and lazy. and the cycle repeats. we have to break these chains of stupidity that bind us all.

  • You are lucky if you lose only MONEY to the wars

    YOU COULD LOSE YOUR SONS

  • I'm so mad right now that they want to cut our funding but not the war funding.. fuck the war!!! and if we need to be in there to survive then tell us

  • Pentagon will get priority funds for Israelis, Iraqis, Afghanis and Libyans are way more important as US civilians are.

  • LOL,USA IS A RACIST MOTHER FUCKER CONTRY,im happy to see them slave to they own goverment,LOL

  • @GamerRangerX

    THEY HAVE BEEN SCREWING US OVER IN TRADE TARIFFS FOR THE LAST 50-100 YEARS!

  • @GamerRangerX At least were not slaves to the Queen >.>'

  • End the Warfare state, Ron Paul 2012!

  • Kaelyn Forde is very pretty.... oh yeah and our government is horrible corrupted

  • In america these protests dont make the news! TY RT!

  • UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE.

    UNIVERSAL EDUCATION.

    OPEN-SOURCE DEMOCRACY.

    ECO-FRIENDLY ENERGY.

    COVER ALL BUILDINGS WITH SOLAR PANELS.

    NO MORE HORIZONTAL CITY GROWTH.

    ARTIFICIAL/SYNTHETIC FOOD.

    VERTICAL FARMS.

    100% RECYCLING OF ALL OUR WASTE!

    THAT'S THE WAY TO THE FUTURE!

  • @WatcherIsWatching ; I follow U. Here's my issue: THE CENTRAL BANKS. If we weren't paying interest on a FRAUDULENT DEBT, weren't suffering the devaluation of our currency every time they issue trillions of USD to their friends, "off balance" (secretly) AND we got rid of these nasty and illegal wars, we could afford 20 TIMES the social programs we have now.

    Weather you believe in socialism or not, it's time we ALL routed out the biggest source of corruption there is; The Federal Reserve Banks,

  • @joygarner

    THAT GOES IN THE OPEN-SOURCE DEMOCRACY CATEGORY!

    EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN THE COUNTRY VOTES ONLINE ON

    HOW AND WHERE THE MONEY WILL BE SPENT!

    POLITICIANS WOULD BECOME NOTHING MORE THAN PUBLIC WORKS MANAGERS!

    ALL THE DECISION MAKING WOULD REST WITH THE ONLINE VOTERS!

    ALSO IF YOU DECIDE THAT YOU WANT TO BE A POLITICIAN

    YOU CAN NOT VOTE IN THE VOTING SYSTEM DURING THE TIME YOUR IN OFFICE!

  • @WatcherIsWatching ; YES! Open source! First off, we need a law that makes it impossible for any law/bill to pass, without the entire thing having been published for at least 3 months in advance of a PUBLIC vote on it.

    WE THE PEOPLE should be the ONLY source of law, period.

  • UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE. UNIVERSAL EDUCATION. OPEN-SOURCE DEMOCRACY. ECO-FRIENDLY ENERGY. COVER ALL BUILDINGS WITH SOLAR PANELS. NO MORE HORIZONTAL CITY GROWTH. ARTIFICIAL/SYNTHETIC FOOD. VERTICAL FARMS. 100% RECYCLING OF ALL OUR WASTE! THAT'S THE WAY TO THE FUTURE!
  • Another Obama peace prize please ASAP

  • Stop using the wrong terminology. This is not Defense Budget, it is Attack Budget.

    

  • That last bit about a min wage worker paying $500 to the Pentagon is pure RT bullshit. Such a worker would not be subject to the federal income tax, which is where the Pentagon gets its money.

  • This defense budget wiil help protect the poor old senior citizens who are barely staying alive as some have to resort to eating dog and cat food for survival. They have not gotten a raise in their paltry little social security checks in more than two years but they were mandated to pay social security taxes and federal income taxes all their lives. The huge defense budgets protects those poor souls and the high flying, overpaid, special interest owned congress and other lowlife politicians.

  • @Scotty3663 you know, kid, you are playing too many video games. The US

    does not seek World Domination, but for better of worse, there is always going to be a dominate military power in the world. Who would you prefer that be? China? I know RT would like to see Russia in that role. But no country in the world, but the US, is willing to make that commitment. Vodka will always make Russia second rate compared to the US. A lot of RT's reporting in this matter amounts to jealousy.

  • @roylee13 yes yes! Cut every non-federal job in america and keep spending the money of the people who aren't making enough already! Thats the way to American prosperity. If thats the case we aught to just devolve the nation of the U.S.A. into a corporation known as Global Occupations Inc., turn every former citizen into supporting resources and continue our policy of occupying and pillaging the resources of other countries. Thats the way forward!

  • Cut welfare completely, and put "OUR" military on "OUR" soil, and not in any other country!

  • US is preparing for war with Iran, I hope Iran wipe Israel out before US gets involved.

  • i only brought this up because my side-advertising bar is filled with that dickheads face...its getting annoying.  he looks like my grandpa after a massage w/ happy ending.

  • im serious ppl, we cannot let donald trump run this already unstable country. i know he's rich, and even has his own reality show. but is this what we see in a figure who is supposed to lead our country? i liked it better when the rumor of christopher walkin was going to run for pres.

  • @Scotty3663

    if we where ever to enter world war 3, the world would see a massive jump in tech. from the u.s. in about a week. we're talkin sounds based weapons like what we use on pirates, but on a more massive scale. we already have lazar technology nto cut mechine parts, whats to say we haven't put it in a more portable form and added a trigger. i believe if it ever went to ww3, the u.s.a. would repeate hitlers reign. we have already lost our freedom, whats next?

  • @Immortalarmys Not voting for either party will not solve the problem. Is the tea party working out well? Corporations will just hijack any other party. 

  • in Civilization V building Pentagon reduced unit upgrade cost by 50%... weird how in real life it actually reduces economic power of entire nation by 50%! id never build that IRL...

  • trump for president??? and i thought pres. bush was bad, if he gets ellected we are all fucked. and i mean royally! trump's wig will fall off at a press meeting and he'll have the CIA fly a plane into the building. trump has no ethical code but love for the greenbacks.

  • @XdrFaustusTheoristX Actually Trump by no means its outside the model for a president. If you pay close attention to what is the background of, I would say 99%, politicians you will find out 2 sources "Business man and lawyers"

    Now take away a fancy word like "moral code" and replace with "they do what they are used to do" and now you have pretty much what we have for leaders. I think a modified congress should govern instead of the mess we have today.

  • you drag our country and now its to help and not invade,all i hear are spitefull soul that dont care,borders matter that much,why do we help you or bother.

  • why should we have to pay, for what our own government did.  they blew all the crap up, so they should fix it. not tax the hell out of us and then they get a mounthly bonus. fuck politics.

  • $700 billion? Isn't that like €10,000 or so?

  • SOMEONE PLEASE NUKE THE PENTAGON BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE...

  • @BZLentertainment they are saints compared to the war crimes in Vietnam or any other previous war....

  • Russia is just jealous.

  • It's all the teachers fault.

  • @RussiaToday you have to be more alert to CIA terrorist trolls posing as american ''dissenters'' to push their bosses agenda here . these masked russophobes usually pose as ''9/11 truthers'', thank you.

  • @MrViTopol

    couldn't agree more.

  • @MrViTopol Yeah... Because all you sheeple out there who are not believing this RTard talk are obviously "CIA Trolls".

    The "Real People" usually start with something like" USAsucks, fuck Obama.. MrVitopol rules. Zionists are satanic oppressors... Reptiles have infested the democracy. Kill all banskters. Die imperialists diiieee"

    or something that is logical like that.

    Shit - America aint got no enemies to spend money defending against.

    Just read these posts. Lets cut defence to $0.00

  • @phuckRT <<<--- this is a new sock puppet here, folks,he has another account @clueless.. if he bothers u folks, just ignore her.

  • @MrViTopol haha... What are you? The keeper of the "folks"?

  • When the empire spends more on war than on its people , it is going to fail crash and burn

  • @Scotty3663

    Just wait for Red Flaf over Capitol

  • It would be better called the Offensive budget.Who are they defending from? Canada or Mexico?Nice little name trick,just like the IDF(Israeli Defence Force), always defending in somebody else's country

  • the us cannot keep this spending up....1.20$/litre of fuel at the pump, poor dollar compared to the canadian dollar (Can worth 1.04,actually above the us dollar by 4 cents), canada likes being treated like mexico in some regard... there are more jobs in canada when the canadian dollar is low. End these conflicts quickly please.

  • obamas tough talk lol

  • $700 billion to war with two bit dictators? someone nuke the pentagon!

  • i wish i can get her number

  • i totally agree with Liz....

  • Such a huge budget is actualy counterproductive even for US military itself. How ? Well in such a huge military a lot people doesnt care about quality of their job ... few examples: M1126 Stryker ICV is a complete disaster, M1A2 complete disaster, M2 Bradley for 3Milion a piece ? Seriously ? "Value" of US military is actualy much smaller then $700Bilion a year if you compare it to other countries ...

  • Shame the British puppets are the same as America’s clowns. hey but it’s your money they’re spending on missiles. $£€ Kerching.

  • MOVE TO RUSSIA !!!

  • @TheSpeckofdust

    IP is easily traced, even a DUMB BY PRODUCT of too much beer like yourself, can do this. Thankfully, there is sooooooo many IP to choose from!!! Thanks to WIFI!!

  • The American military is for invasion for the elite's interest, the superpower belongs to the super rich and most of them are the dual citizenship oligarchy.

  • HA HA HA HA HA The Pentigram tightning the BELT would only come if you could get it around the NECK OF THE BASTARDS making a FORTUNE starting all these illegal WARS around the Globe. This Country is so easily Bamboozeled by this bunch of SHIT IN THE WHITE HOUSE AND THAT LITTLE SAWED OFF WHITE HAIRED OLD MAN supposed to be some sort of a War Hero, they PARRADE AROUND EVERYTIME THEY NEED MORE """MONEY""""! Give it up folks they're not going to stop and they HAVE ALL THE HIGH TECH WEAPONS TO DO IT.

  • When decisions are made exclusively by part of the population.

  • @Scotty3663 Pretty much so ya. You have to remember though, It's not the American people that want war. It's our greedy and corrupt government that wants war. War is a very profitable business in this country.

  • Imagine how much good the American military could have done helping Americans instead of killing brown people...

  • @DackIsBack

    "brown people"??? No such thing!!

  • "Defence Budget" is the most retarded euphemism evur.

  • Americans should understand defense is to protect ones people offence is what USA military is being used to attack not protect scrap the military of bring them own to DEFEND their country NOT offend others with insults and war crimes.

    USA government is corrupt to the core and only a revolution and troops turning guns on military and politicians will sort this crime out.

  • All that spending and U.S. "super power" still can't win against old Soviet weapons in Iraq and Afghanistan. =)

  • @Mutaborum so true hahaha

  • an defence army is cheaper. The americans work hard for the hate they become back.

  • whatever happened to the $2.3 trillion that went missing from the pentagon on september 10th, 2001?

  • God damn government spending is pissing me off, and there's nothing we can do except have a bloody ass overthrowing. And WTF, 234 golf courses?!

  • i loath those fucking war mongering pricks.the military economy is only for making profit for the rich.the price is our promising youth sent to kill people on the premise of protecting americans freedoms.all BS.unemployment,the inflation cloud blowing toward us,lying government officials about the health of our economy and the rise of debtors prisons that will enslave america unless we do something now.

  • WHAT A BUNCH of PATHETIC IDIOTS!! Chanting, singing, crying, DEMOCRACY!! The GLOBALISTS are laughing at YOU!!

    ameriKKKa is democracy of WALL st!!

    ameriKKKa is democracy of FINANCIAL TERRORISTS!!

    ameriKKKa is democracy of FED RESERVE!!

    Shouting DEMOCRACY will do nothing but bring AMUSEMENT for the few!!

    REAL CHANGE= CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE!!!

    JAIL= POLITICIANS

    Solution= BOYCOTT TAX!!!

    Or remain a SLAVE & COWARD!!!

  • @TheBENGALHANNIBAL umadbro

  • pay for school teachers medicare and housing for people at home.Stop stealing other countries resources under the false pretend of helping,it never helped anyone to get bombarded with depleted uranium..No wonder so many hate America now.

  • Lol. The Pentagon will NEVER tighten its belt. It doesn't have one. It's free to suck all American taxpayer's money it can.

  • fuck america

  • 687.1 does that include all the supplementals? or is just that the base line budget number?

  • thats... a lot

  • The American military is not for defence..

  • @floatingcompassmedia The Defense Department should go back to being called the Department of War.

    It is the true nature of it!

    

  • @floatingcompassmedia best comment that'll ever be posted on this video

  • @floatingcompassmedia Offense is Best deffence:))) 

  • @qpae123

    si.

  • Yeah, MCcain you are a real asshole, Thanks for showing where your true loyalty lies you scumbag armless zombie looking freakshow, Its alright to cut and gut real social needs such as education and healthcare,but its alright for you to spend trillions of dollars on some miitary expedition, Of course you dont care where they cut the budget, because you're a rich filth

    Who keeps on electing these scumbags? Get these arsewipes out, they're nothing but usurpers and pillagers of the American people

  • The empire is falling!

  • @Odin1978 The quicker the better.

  • military spending = biggest government cheese welfare program of all

  • Fuck wars and wasteful spending, Vote Dr. Ron Paul

  • HEK!

  • @FreedumbFighter28

    because they get paid to focus negative thoughts on America,not the many many negative facts about Russia..FYI RT American news aired the same information so no secret HERE this time

  • @stevewins914 ..RT america blocked me a looooooooog time ago, so no, I did not know that.

    I am aware of thier job, I was just tryin to appeal to there sense of FAIR PLAY when I say I am troubled by thier lack of coverage on thier own military machine. But thank you for the information.:-)

  • @FreedumbFighter28 There have not been any atrocities for years, freedumb, besides if u need a fix of negative stuff about Russia, learn Russian and watch Russian TV. RT is created to give americans the information they dont get from their corporate propaganda outlets.

  • @stevewins914 if negative info on Russia is your cup of tea... learn Russian and watch Russian cable TV

  • @MrViTopol

    it's not my cup of tea as I'm not as ignorant..I can care less just pointing facts..Reread my comment

  • but if you want propaganda dont your AmUrican media defy that ?

    then you can go back watching your dail dose of Fox, CNN Funded by CIA etc.

  • @FreedumbFighter28

    Idiot. Fool! and brainwashed!

    Do Russia has on going war?

    Atrocities? Plain stupid! Stick on your FOX NEWS.

  • @FreedumbFighter28

    you are right, the only way to really bring a good future is to be honest and expose everything!! but today the biggest problem in earth is the US, NATO WARS!!

  • @FreedumbFighter28

    Hey, you. The reason why RT brought people like myself from CNN to RT is because they refrain from pumping USA propaganda and they tell the truth about America. If you want to know more about Russia, then why don't you find another news channel.

  • @femaleasian1 CUZ @Freedumb is a trained CIA NLP saboteur posing as an american dissident to gain credibility on RT
