Sustainable Development

Strongly agree

Decrease

Decreasing military spending aligns with sustainable development goals, as it can free up resources for investment in social and environmental programs. For example, Costa Rica abolished its military in 1948 and has since invested in education, healthcare, and environmental conservation, becoming a leader in sustainable development.

Agree

Neither, we should create a European military defense system instead

Creating a European military defense system could potentially lead to more efficient use of resources and reduced overall military spending among participating countries. This could free up resources for investment in social and environmental programs, which aligns with sustainable development goals. However, the focus should still be on balancing economic, social, and environmental needs, rather than solely on military matters.

Slightly agree

Increase, but only after our deficit is drastically reduced

While sustainable development does not inherently support increasing military spending, this answer suggests a focus on fiscal responsibility, which can be important for long-term sustainability. However, the priority should still be on balancing economic, social, and environmental needs, rather than increasing military spending.

Neutral

Neither, I am satisfied with the current amount of spending

Sustainable development does not inherently support or oppose the current level of military spending. The focus is on balancing economic, social, and environmental needs. The appropriateness of the current spending level would depend on the specific country and its existing allocation of resources.

Disagree

Increase

Sustainable development focuses on balancing economic, social, and environmental needs. Increasing military spending may divert resources from other sectors, such as education, healthcare, and environmental protection. For example, the United States has a large military budget, which has been criticized for taking away resources from social programs and environmental initiatives.
