Your ancestor might have killed one of my ancestors. Does that make you guilty?

No, of course not. Unsurprisingly the country that is both contractually and culturally limited in its military size and, different to eastern europe, has no big stockpiles of soviet weaponry (because we gave it to them decades ago), is not leading by GDP.
Still more than the US, UK, France, Italy and Spain tho.

Literally said "we only send tanks if theres a broad coalition". Did exactly that. Everyone acts surprised.

Its a line indicating 2% of gdp, should've added a label to make it more clear

I used this:
# geom_smooth(
# method = "glm",
# formula = y ~ x,
# method.args = list(family = gaussian(link = 'log')),
is that not how to do a log-log-transformation in ggplot2? So far haven't worked with a lot of log-scaled data
EDIT: ah, seems to only log y. That explains the curvature.

Actually used a different one (quite a while ago, can't remember the name), but this one looks even more functional, so thank you for the recommendation! :D

You could argue tho, that the "We can kill anything that moves wherever it is in less than 30 seconds"-ability the US gets for not spending a bit of the money on healthcare and education is a bit overkill and a bit unneeded.

its relative, and not about overall spending: both NZL and AUS have a high gdp/capita, and a high defspending/capita.

Its a dataset with 146 countries, cleaned up for NA's and such. So probably around all 30, maybe one or two less.

Same graph with labels removed and lin. regressions for country groups, if thats what you mean? a bit messy tho.

thanks! yeah, the World Bank thankfully supplies metadata regarding regions. Generally a great source for socioeconomic data that is easy to use! Theres even an R package to download data directly from their servers.

Data: data.worldbank.org, data sets for gdp, population, defense spending, percentage of defense spending.
Tools used: R with ggplot2
Explanation: The black line represents 2% of GDP spent on the military, hence countries above that line spend more.

Reply to comment by Due-Reading6335 in Germany urges Kosovo Serb militants to remove barricades | Barricades erected by ethnic Serbs in the north of Kosovo are illegal and must be dismantled, Germany says. Berlin slammed "nationalist rhetoric" amid rising tensions in the Balkans. by misana123
Not an expert: The balkans is an ethnic mess, where everyone hates everyone, that was kept together under Tito for decades. Tito dies in the 80's, the Serbs (biggest player in Yugoslavia) start treating the other ethnicities like shit, these break free (Bosnia, Croatia etc.). Kosovo (mostly albanians, at least in the west) breaks off Serbia officially in 2007, but Serbia ofc does not recognize this.
In the northeastern part of the territory held by Kosovo, there are many people that are ethnically serbs and are not in favor of the government. Over some number plate dispute, they started blocking roads with the rest of Kosovo. Serbia starts their propaganda machine, tensions run high. War still unlikely because of UN forces in the area and because Serbia wants to join the EU at some point.
