Military spending in 2023 (in billions of US dollars):
United States: 916
China: 296
Russia: 109
India: 83.6

Eh, Americans spend something like $10-20B per year on guns and ammo. That's nowhere near the military budget, but it's still a lot of guns and ammo, so the US would put up a pretty good guerrilla resistance.
Alright, so here me out. We need guns to protect ourselves from the Chinese government. What do you say about that? Just saved you $620B
I sure hope those 2nd amendment fanatics can afford the naval vessels and foreign military bases they're going to need to get involved in the South China Sea! 💸
You joke, but libertarians lost a war to Tonga
I don't feel like Russia got a hundred billion dollars worth of military out of the hundred billion dollars they spent
