On this day in 1967, Muhammad Ali refused army induction to serve in the Vietnam War.

World military spending up to $2.7 TRILLION in 2024, a real terms rise of 9.4%, biggest 1-year rise since end of Cold War. Huge increases by Russia, China, Israel; large increases by US, China, Germany, other Euros. A shocking reflection of a world that puts war before human need & well-being.

Military spending rose in 2024 in all regions, mainly Europe (17%) & Middle East (15%). Top 20 spenders have all seen increases. Biggest increases in this group are those of Israel (+65%) explained by its ongoing genocide in Gaza, and Russia, +38% spurred by its invasion of Ukraine #GDAMS @sipri.org

Who were the 10 largest military spenders in 2024? 1) United States 🇺🇸 2) China 🇨🇳 3) Russia 🇷🇺 4) Germany 🇩🇪 5) India 🇮🇳 6) United Kingdom 🇬🇧 7) Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 8) Ukraine 🇺🇦 9) France 🇫🇷 10) Japan 🇯🇵 New SIPRI data on #MilitarySpending out now ➡️ bit.ly/3GH5GNe
