The cost of militaries

On this episode of The Cost of Everything we take a closer look at the military spending of countries as global conflicts are developing, especially in the Middle East with the current Israel-Hamas conflict. Host Christy Ai spoke with founder of Food not Bombs Keith McHenry about how military budgets vary between countries and how they define their geopolitical status like Israel with their fast response to the Hamas attack considered one of the fastest and almost impossible to match mobilizations. Furthermore, which countries get the most bang for their buck on their military spending and which ones tend to waste large amounts of their budgets on useless or obsolete weaponry.
