I though I would rank the worlds countries as the percent of GDP they spent on their military. It says alot about how much these countries are scared of their close or far neighbors. Interestingly India and Pakistan don't show up in the top 10. Meaning they aren't REALLY scared of each other. On the other hand Eritrea is frightened beyond belief of Ethiopia. Eritrea is at the military state level. No Surprise with Israel it is in the top 5. A bit surprisingly Mexico is in the least scared category. I guess they already do whatever the U.S. tells them to do so their is nothing to fear.
The U.S makes it barely in the top 10.
Oh and the only African country in the top 15 is Angola hmmm!. Maybe Uganda might join soon!
