USA military budget is a most direct measure of the insanity and increasing cost of running fossil fuel based civilisation. All those men and machines burn fossil fuels in order to fight for the privilege of burning more fossil fuels, for the sake of corporations that must burn more fossil fuels, in the process of seeking monetary profits, to “buy” the necessities for living. Meanwhile the real conditions and supports for biological life are collapsing faster each year. Military powers will soon be taking life supports away from everybody, as the only remaining and most successful technological parasites.
