NPP In Action

Alameda City, CA

"We used NPP's figures at the City Council to show how the Iraq War impacts us here at home. They passed a unanimous resolution supporting a diplomatic approach to the war. It was a good resolution. Last year we had only 2 votes out of 5. This year 2 people changed their minds and the new council member supported the resolution."

- Dorothy Kakimoto, Local Activist

World military spending

World military spending in 2005 reached $1.12 trillion with the U.S. accounting for almost half. NATO allies make up another 23% of spending, while Japan, S. Korea and Australia make up another 7% (included in the rest of the world slice). While accurate data for 2005 is not available for some of the countries labeled as the 'axis of evil' by the administration, it is likely that these countries - Cuba, Iran, Libya, N. Korea, Sudan and Syria make up only around 1% of world military spending.

Source: The figures, compiled by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute are compared in constant ($2003) prices and market exchange rates.

NATO allies

The reason the NATO allies slice is smaller is because it highlights allies outside of the United States. The point is to show that our allies spend a lot, too. If the U.S. were included it would say 'NATO' rather than NATO allies.
