I think you missed this part: "Imagine if each country spent their military $$ on water, food, housing, and free medical care for their citizens." I know it unfortunately isn't even remotely realistic but that's the comment you answered to :)

Well yeah but that is the point. If all countries were democracies, if all countries worked together economically, if all countries made sure that wealth was nicely distributed amongst the world population with a top 1:5 difference between the poorest and richest, then we wouldn't need armies, we wouldn't need borders even...

Borders and armies exists because we have dictators and an again rapidly growing wealth inequality
