  1. If military heavy countries like the USA, China and Russia divert half of their defence budget, they can not only feed the world for free but also due to their weakened military muscle, they would not think of military interventions in other countries, thus bringing peace to the world.

  2. Man proposes and God disposes. The more humankind will try to bully and subjugate each other the more they are likely to come under divine wrath and displeasure. The great powers have to play prominent a role in combating Corona and in the equitable socioeconomic development for all humanity. This can only happen when there are resources. Therefore curtailing defense budgets remain the only good and viable option.
    For example the USA spends 750 billion dollars annually on defense which is equal to the next top spending 15 countries’ military budgets. Even if 20 percent of the existing military budgets are slashed and spend on fighting Corona and on equitable development then the world will be a different place for us all…..

  3. Hope now the United States will mind it’s own business and not poke it’s nose in other countries’ affairs.
