It is a fact that the United States is a big bully!
And to ensure it can browbeat, bulldoze and bludgeon countries, it arms itself to the teeth. That is why it is the largest military spender in the world, generously allocating $880 billion to its defence – more than the next eight countries combined.
By comparison, in 2000, global military expenditures were $798bn, or $130 per capita – less than a third of the amount spent today.
Note: Global military spending is the total money spent by countries on their military forces and related activities. This includes costs for soldiers, operations, weapons, equipment, research and military infrastructure.
Liverpool beat Manchester City 2-0 yesterday.
Talisman Mohamed Salah scored the team's first goal in the fourteenth minute and set up Dominik Szoboszlai for the second 23 minutes later.
The triumph here, bolted on to Arsenal's loss at home to West Ham on Saturday, means that, although there can be thousands of words spent on dancing around the subject, this season's title race is done and dusted.
Yes, it looks like Liverpool will be crowned champions. It's not an empty boast because they now need just 26 points from their remaining eleven Premier League games to guarantee they cannot be caught by anyone – and clinch the title.
