U.S. military spending is nearly as low, as a percentage of gross domestic product, as it has been at any time since World War II.

I love content where country-by-country comparisons must exist (ideally in infographic form) but the US is only compared to the US.

yeah but they are spending less than when they were last at total war and also before the CIA was formed starting the practice of obfuscating how much money is being funneled into defense.
