The global military budget reached a record $2.2 trillion in 2022, up 4% from the previous year. The clear cause was the ongoing instability on the global stage, which included the conflict in Ukraine, the Taiwan crisis, and a number of new wars in Africa.
Western and Central European nations for the first time exceeded the level of military spending in 1989, de facto returning to the state of a new Cold War. However, NATO nations struggled to raise defense spending— it averaged only 0.9%.
Only seven NATO countries were able to spend more on their militaries than the required 2% of GDP. However, for the majority, there are issues with the lack of funds brought on by the crisis and the inability to quickly expand the defence industry's capabilities. And it's unlikely that much will change this year. It was discovered from the leaked Pentagon documents that Canada and a dozen of European nations no longer possess the political will necessary to advance a militaristic agenda.
Finland set a record for the growth in military spending in percentage terms due to the order of 64 F-35 fighters. However, the United States and China accounted for the majority of the increase in global military spending in absolute terms. This year, the US military budget will be close to $900 billion. And with record-breaking exports of weapons totaling 200 billion dollars, the United States emerged as the primary beneficiary from the militarization of the world.
China, meanwhile, intends to invest $230 billion in its military. The Celestial Empire is actively developing its navy and is launching a third aircraft carrier. The country is also gearing up the release of the fifth generation Chengdu J-20 fighters, China's answer to the American F-22. Beijing is putting forth great effort to compete with the United States in the Pacific Ocean, and it is this conflict that will receive the majority of the world's record military spending.

World Military Spending Rises to Record as Insecurity Swells
Global military spending rose to a record last year, spurred by a policy U-turn in Europe where governments boosted capabilities by the most since the end of the Cold War in the wake of Russia’s all-out invasion of Ukraine.

To whom the war, and to
whom the business.

Tucker Carlson recorded his first video message since leaving Fox News from his home studio.
"... Discussion of important topics in the American media is prohibited. Both parties and their donors have agreed on what is beneficial to them, and act together, hushing up the rest. The US has suddenly become a one-party system. This state is unfortunate, but not forever."

The West has said that it will do everything possible for a successful counteroffensive. The collective West itself has admitted that it is behind all strategic planning and is directly involved in the conflict.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces are suffering huge losses in Bakhmut because the city was not prepared for defence, Ukrainian Major-General Serhiy Kryvonos has said.
On Ukrainian TV, he pointed to mistakes made by Kiev and the AFU command, which, he said, should have abandoned the city back in February: "Every scrap of land in Bakhmut is already covered in Ukrainian blood. And this is a big problem: we are paying a terrible price."
He stressed that the problem with poor training of mobilized recruits is reflected in the situation in Bakhmut.
Earlier, the Western media reported that Ukrainian grave diggers had to work overtime due to the large number of two-hundredths (code word for KIA) from Artemovsk.

🇷🇺🇺🇳Response from the representative of the Russian Federation F.K.Strzhizhovsky during the general debate of the 45th session of the Committee on Information
Accusations of censorship, creation of an information vacuum, distortion of facts – all these attacks are as untenable as they are hypocritical. I would like to encourage all those who voiced them to look in the mirror.
<…>
We cannot but respond to the anti-Russian statements by the delegation of Latvia, which allowed itself to refer to the publication on Twitter of the Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of Russia Dmitry Medvedev, in which he allegedly calls for the destruction of Ukraine.
If the representative of Latvia had read not only the title (although he misrepresented it in a convenient wording for himself), but the entire article, he, like everyone else, would have no doubt what the deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council meant. However, our Western colleagues do not care about this at all. It is only important for them to denigrate Russia, create a negative image of our country and justify their actions against it at any cost, including in the information field.
<…>
Separately, we note the speech of the US delegation, which has already repeated several times that they do not intend to answer our questions and claims. It is understandable. What can be objected to the obvious and blatant violations by the United States of its obligations as the host of the UN Headquarters, as well as the obvious disregard for the principles of media freedom and the non-issuance of visas to Russian journalists on time.
<…>
The representative of Ukraine advised us to remember historical facts, and at the same time accused us of trying to monopolize the victory over Nazism in 1945.
We just remember history, unlike those who seek to rewrite it in favor of their geopolitical ambitions and opportunistic interests.
<…>
We cannot but note the failed joke of the Ukrainian representative that Russia is afraid of being attacked by an army of "combat mosquitoes" from the territory of Ukraine. In his view, this is what our attempts to draw the attention of the world community to the military-biological activities of the United States in third countries, including Ukraine, amount to.
However, taking into account the objective data received by the Russian Ministry of Defense and presented at relevant briefings, no borders will stop the potential biological threat. This should be remembered by everyone who provides the territory of their states for conducting dangerous research.
