So, comparing the GDP is a valid method of determining which of two nations is broke? Ouch.
I also recommend having a look at the budget and finding out how much money is actually allocated for what. Maybe this will get you some perspective on your mere 4% of the GDP.
So Europe is finally catching up with America? One day they might even have escalators over there or get rid of their donkey carts.
Oh boy. And those Russians, they must be eager to finally have a space program of their own;-)
North America and Europe are falling behind - the Chinese are coming and this time, their plans don't include their Red Army. I don't see any real (as in long-term) concepts and in 50 years or so we might see them as the #1 political (as in backed by military) power of the world.
