This looks like a list of the top sellers in Asia or China, minus Toyota. No one buys Dongfeng or Mahindra anywhere outside of China, India, and other parts of Asia. GM alone beats Suzuki on this list by about $10B in annual revenue.

It's OK to move back in when you're 22, but if you're 35 you should be caring for your own kids, not leeching off your parents.

Including % of GDP and $ for all countries identified on this map would be helpful

Thanks again for the engagement, but when are you going to realize that the wishing away of guns isn't going to solve the problem? I admire the persistence that just we are one more gun law away from solving the problem, but how much failure of past laws and the lack of addressing the current issues can you stand before you realize that we are not going to legislate this away by focusing on things? A war on guns is going to be as successful as a war on drugs. If you want to focus on deaths with guns, disarming and restricting law abiding people is counterproductive. You need to go after the mentally unstable and the gang violence- and really you need to go after the issues around our lack of respect for life. Unfortunately, you can't legislate those.

you should have normalized it relative to population. This is misleading graph.

I'd love to see a breakdown of how much of the stated figures actually make their way through to defence spending. Case in point being Russia and those "1.5 million military uniforms" they had bought and stored away that ended up not existing.

I feel like there has to be some level of corruption or "palm greasing" that goes on everywhere, but based on evidence seen this year during the war in Ukraine, Russia must be number 1 on the chart of "allegedly spent on defence but actually bought a yacht for some dude instead".

For the U.S., this wouldn't include aid to Ukraine, which is over 68 Billion. The amount would be the 4th highest in the world.

Here is a list of the U.S. federal budget deficits for the last 10 fiscal years (October 1 to September 30):

Fiscal year 2022: $3.1 trillion

Fiscal year 2021: $3.1 trillion

Fiscal year 2020: $3.1 trillion

Fiscal year 2019: $984 billion

Fiscal year 2018: $779 billion

Fiscal year 2017: $665 billion

Fiscal year 2016: $587 billion

Fiscal year 2015: $438 billion

Fiscal year 2014: $483 billion

Fiscal year 2013: $680 billion

US's budgets is higher than the other 9, combined

The British lost to Icelandic fishermen with scissors.

Oman is critical to western interests and as such they have naval bases that directly support the patrolling of the Persian gulf, this huge number is in part western funds to keep them strong and independent as a safe foothold in the area

No i didn't you fucking rtard.

I bet you like sports, huh?

Please also look into correlation with organ donations/ transplantations.

Road collisions are essential to produce viable organs…can’t wait for people to get old….and using prisoners is not really ethical

The fuck is Oman doing ? Are they Arming themselves due to Yemen ?

Agreed, however the self discipline to not spend all of your earnings on toys and travel, or hookers and blow... Is impressive for a young adult.

Unless the point of the map was not to actually compare data but to demonstrate how much more the US spends on defense than every other country. If that was the goal I would say it is pretty successful.

What % of global population is Asia though?

Fuck that. Eating nothing but rice, spinach and eggs isn't enjoyable, nor is it a very balanced diet. I don't know why people on Reddit get off bragging about how Spartan their diets are. Sure, saving money is great, but eating the most bland foods around just to save a few bucks is hardly an ideal solution.

There's nothing impressive about having your parents pay all your big expenses.

And it’s all pedestrians! You totally take your life to it’s edge every time you use a crosswalk. 😂

Or use a logarithmic scale

Its a little more complicated than that. Geopolitics define rules of engagement that can result in neutering one sides advantage. Just like Russia is losing the war in Ukraine, but could realistically win it any day they wanted by just nuking Kiev.

that's just a different map, which does not mean this is a bad one.
