It's how much North Korea spends, and its people are starving. And you spend three times what I spend on the military, and I always designed my nation as a militaristic one, and it's 400m people bigger. It's probably something like 4,000 times the US military budget. It's probably enough to buy... oh, Switzerland or somewhere. Or 2,000 B2s!

Yes,but unlike North Korea I have the economy to support that kind of spending.
