++Dan Froomkin at the Intercept writes that our military spending up 45% from pre-9/11 levels seven with the slight cut in 2010. We spend more on the military than the next 7 countries combined.
++Froomkin uses the new figures from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SPRI).
++We spend three times more than China.
++Think Ukraine and Putin's hijinks--we spend 7 times more than Russia.
++The Saudis are number 4 in the world in military spending. Then filter in the alarms about Iran. They don't even appear on the list.
