Military expenditure as a percentage of GDP

I can think of many homogenous countries in Eastern Europe, Asia, and the Middle East that are complete shite holes.


By homogeneous we mean all western/northern european honkeys.

They all have a weapon, but they're not allowed to have bullets at home.

You really have to be as dumb as I think you are to even question why this is.

I do have to question though how the hell Japan qualifies for that list, since they have perhaps the most violent history of any civilized nation in the past 100 years.

On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the dumbest, what would you rank me?

I'd appreciate a quick answer because this is really important to me!

Switzerland is one of the most military ready nations on the globe. Literally every bridge and road leading out of the surrounding mountains is rigged w/ explosives to stall a land invasion. There is a reason why the Third Reich had a Swiss shaped hole in it.

And aside from the ski resorts, it was basically worthless to them for the time being. The Swiss were of little concern to the Germans.

Being prepared doesn't make you unpeaceful (probably not a word but you get the point).
