Does anybody have some more up to date numbers? In the german wiki I found these: country / # / $ p.a. EU 1.834.337 / 293.355.000.000 Russ 1.207.000 / 85.000.000.000 China 2.300.000 / 84.900.000.000 US 1.332.300 / 574.940.000.000 EU numbers are only EU & NATO countries / without turkey, swiss etc. Based on these I'd say EU spends enough to face cases of emergency.
