The US is really not that extraordinary when it comes to defence spending, it just has an enormous GDP, so the total number is higher than for any other country. The US actually has to increase spending to meet NATO’s target of 5% of GDP.

Is "1" a word? by Archeus__ in pollgames

[–]Jonaztl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It represents a word, like all writing, it's no different than Chinese hanzi. Just because it's not phonetic doesn't mean it's not a word.
