Its very sus that "russia defens budget" is here but not "us empire offense budget"
It would be bigger, which would have no surprise value.
Also if you added empire, it would look like propaganda.
Seeing Alphabet's 2026 capex hit $180B is mind-blowing. That’s more than the entire GDP of Slovakia or Ecuador. It really puts the 'AI Arms Race' into perspective—it’s not just a software battle; it’s a massive, physical infrastructure land grab that only a few 'nation-state' sized corporations can afford to play in.
