Can you please explain how a list of countries with the highest military expenditures is evidence that weapons used by the US aren’t bought/produced for a ridiculous markup?
Like, the claim m352 is making is “the american military spends unreasonable amounts of money on weapons for no benefit, because of how much graft and how many middlepeople exist in the american weapon supply chain”.
And the evidence you use to counter this claim is “the US spends much, much more money on weapons than Russia”. And like, yeah, no kidding the US spends much more on its military than Russia does, but I don’t see how that has anything to do with m352’s claim.
So can you please draw the connection for me? How does your response here address the comment you’re responding to?

I still don’t understand what evidence you’re finding on these Wikipedia pages. Like, ok, I read the Wikipedia page for the F-22. What am I supposed to get out of my reading? What should I have learned from that page?
Can you please actually draw the connection you’re making, explicitly? Because I legitimately do not understand what you’re trying to say
NATO doesn’t arm its soldiers with trashcans though
We can assume their weapons will have similar markup, maybe even more.
Don’t assume and look at the evidence:

Again just look at the evidence:

These are just some random USA war assets, in case you fail to understand what spending a trillion dollars a year in war gets you.
