Fear of horrific war is the world's military spending rise!

In the world, the world's military expenditure is overwhelming in fear of a horrific war.
In the midst of the ongoing global economic crisis and downturn, the Ukraine-Russia war and the heated situation in the Middle East are increasing the expenditure of most countries in the world unprecedentedly. The adverse effects of this trend have begun to become clear from the last 2022. Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East, especially in the Middle East, have increased the military budget from 5% to 5% in recent years. Moreover, the approximately 3-5% of the global arms trade is going straight to the Arab countries in the Middle East.
According to data from Stockholm International Peace Research Institute in the International Military Research Agency, the global military sector spent $ 2.5 trillion in 2021, which is significantly higher than the previous year. The expenditure stood at around $ 2.5 trillion in 2021 and in the current 2021 it could rise to about $ 2.5 trillion. And the growth rate in this sector is about 5%.
According to the US Department of Defense (DOD), the United States has allocated a budget to the military and defense sectors for the current 2021 and will spend about $ 1 billion for strategic nuclear weapons and modern facilities separately.
Russia, on the other hand, has approved for the current 2021 military budget of $ 120 billion, which is about $ 20 billion higher than the previous year. However, according to Al Jazeera, Russia's actual military expenditure could be $ 1 billion, which is about one-third of the national budget. According to some analysts, this cost can be more than $ 20 billion. Russia is already importing weapons and ammunition from Iran, China and North Korea and investing a huge amount of money to modernize hypersonic and nuclear weapons.
China has declared an estimated $ 20 billion (1.5 trillion yuan) military budget in 2021 as emerging military and economic power at the global level, which is 1.2% higher than 2021. However, according to military research agencies at the international level, China's actual expenditure can be up to $ 1-5 billion, as the country wants to keep its actual military expenses secret.
Meanwhile, India's influential country India has allocated $ 1.8 billion in the current fiscal year, Saudi Arabia $ 1.8 billion, UK $ 1.8 billion, Japan $ 5 billion, Australia $ 1.8 billion, France $ 5 billion, and Ukraine $ 1.8 billion.
Iran, despite the long -standing sanctions, is gaining self -reliance in the defense sector by investing in drones, ballistic missiles and regional proxy groups. Although Iran's estimated military budget is $ 20 billion in 2021, the actual cost can be much higher. Moreover, the ambitious nuclear project is investing a large amount of money in Iran. According to the West, Iran has enough uranium in the hands of Iran to make at least five nuclear weapons at the moment.
Türkiye has announced a record $ 1 billion military expenditure in 2021, which is significantly higher than 2021. The country is emphasizing the creation of its own technology warships, tanks, tanks, drones and warships. Despite being a NATO member, Türkiye was formed to tension with the West after the purchase of S-1 from Russia, but Türkiye has planned its military presence in southern Caucasus, Libya and Syria.
However, despite the country of only 1 million population, Is#Rile, however, has announced a $ 1 billion military budget for 2021. The country is spending billions of dollars, especially on the development of Iron Dom, Aro-1 and David Sling System. It is worth mentioning that the United States funded a large part of these projects. Israel, on the other hand, is also spending additional research on nuclear weapons technology.
Finally, when the world is dealing with problems such as economic pressure, inflation, food crisis and energy deficit, such huge military expenses are creating a new kind of security and strategic concern worldwide. Diplomatic discussions and peaceful solutions are shrinking and increasing the possibility of war-conflict. In the long run, the impact will not only be political, but also social and humanitarian aspects.
This situation is extremely worrying not only in the political field but also from the social and human point of view. The possibility of war increases as the common people's livelihood, health, education and human rights question can deteriorate. So now it is necessary to emphasize social and economic development by reducing international cooperation, revival of diplomatic dialogue and reducing military expenses. Otherwise the world may have to move towards an uncertain and dark future, whose responsibility should be carried not only the present generation but also the future generation.
