By Kristy Le According to the Center for Defense Information, the Bush administration requested for $343.2 billion for 2002 Fiscal Year. The U.S. military budget is six times larger than the Russian budget, the second largest spender. The U.S. military budget is also more than twenty-six times as large as the combined spending of Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Libya, North Korea, Sudan and Syria ( www.globalissues.org/geopolitics/armstrade/spending.asp ). With this amount of money, it is clearly demonstrated that the U.S. military is currently at the top of the world. The U.S. can easily go to war with any nation and know that they will win while others have to suffer.

Shortly afterward, when he did resign from the Union army, Johnston joined the Confederacy and became one of its top commanders. He was killed in 1862 in the bloody battle of Shiloh. The museum has long been a popular visiting place for area school children who have turned out regularly as part of a continuing museum outreach program, Mattson said. Changing exhibits also have been popular, including displays that describe the roles of different ethnic and religious groups in past and present military efforts. Past shows have focused on Hispanic and Asian American military efforts, among other groups. One of the newer permanent exhibits at the museum recounts events of the Cold War and its end in the early 1990s, when the Berlin wall was torn down and the old USSR toppled, marking the end of its military domination of Eastern Europe.

GOLDSEA PACIFIC RIM TRENDS China and Russia Hold Joint Military Exercises in Shandong ussia and China will hold an unprecedented joint military exercise later this month, using long-range bombers and submarines to settle an imaginary conflict in a foreign land, a top Russian general said Tuesday. The Aug. 18-25 maneuvers, to be held on China's Shandong peninsula, highlight budding military ties between Moscow and Beijing, whose relations have warmed after decades of Cold War-era rivalry. Moscow and Beijing insisted that the exercise, the first such drill, was not aimed at any third country. The Chinese Defense Ministry said Tuesday that the exercises were meant to ``strengthen the capability of the two armed forces in jointly striking international terrorism, extremism and separatism.'' But the Russian military added that another goal was to practice joint action to ``settle regional crises.'' Col. Gen. Vladimir Moltenskoi, the deputy chief of Russia's Land Forces in charge of the exercise, said Tuesday that the drills envisage action to separate parties in a conflict in a third country with the backing of the United Nations. Under the scenario, the Shandong peninsula poses as an imaginary state ``on the territory of which riots stemming from ethnic discord took place and confrontation between different forces occurred,'' Moltenskoi said.
