What makes you think we WANT your help? Lol. We already occupy Germany, England and Italy. We have also previously almost single handedly defeated or rescued every nation on your continent... Just keep the checks coming and let's us worry about the actual fighting, thanks.

You said we never made an effort for peace…I proved you wrong! Now you want what...reparations?
No, if America was sorry about anything it would cease do these things.
The same thing that would happen in any country because (this is a FACT people like you purposely ignore) as a percentage of GDP, US isn’t that much different in spending that many other countries!!
Saudi Arabia (highest as % of GDP by your graph) GDP = 0.677 trillion
U.S. (2nd highest) GDP = 15 trillion
Seems like apples and oranges to me. Besides, these budgets are what is disclosed, and I know you're intelligent enough to know that the U.S. is pretty liberal with covert operations and black money.
Considering the US is the SUPER POWER of the WORLD I’d say as a PERCENTAGE we get a lot of bang for our buck!
If by bang for our buck you mean murdering thousands of innocent people, then yes, we are quite efficient at that. Glad you are proud of it.
I don't understand this obsession with being a superpower anyway. Seems pretty useless if we want to evolve past this animal based, "Alpha Male" oriented mindset on international policies which you seem so infatuated with.
Stop drinking the left’s Kool Aid, bro!
How do you know where I get my kool-aid from? I take information and form my own opinions. I do not claim to know everything, but what I do know is we will always be stuck with the same song and dance if we never change our basic assumptions on international relations.

WW3, if it does occur, will only last a couple hours tops. There wont be time to mobilize conventional weapons. This whole topic shows a misunderstanding of what escalation of modern weaponry means. If you think there will be another world war duked out with infantry and air fighters you are sadly mistaken.
