"All of the World's", and then proceeds to list a bunch of US-centric metrics. I especially enjoyed how military spending was divided into US, the US's current boogeyman du jour and source of all things evil China, and then "other". Not that China doesn't get up to heinous shit, but it's ridiculous how much US media has started pushing the narrative that China is now The Enemy™ and how it's bled over into people's opinions. I've seen Americans on various forums claim that China is the biggest threat to "US democracy", which is an absolute fucking joke to begin with.
