Summary: At last check, the U.S. defense budget is larger than the next 12 major industrialized nations combined. In fact, Russia, the U.S.' primary military adversary has a budget of roughly $80 billion U.S. dollars this fiscal year. That's about one tenth of what Congress is poised to authorize to defend America with for 2018. And with that comparatively modest military outlay, Russia has actually won its military engagements.
