It is true that we vastly outspend our current or likely potential enemies.

OTOH

1 - The amount spent by some of those countries is a lot more than their official defense budgets.

2 - Countries with drafts devote resources to the military when they draft soldiers, even if they pay them next to nothing.

3 - Its not insanity to greatly outspend your current or potential enemies, in fact it can be very wise if you can afford it.
