Whether others would follow that example was just as dubious then as it is today. While Russia and China increased the share of their national output that went to military spending in 2014, the United States reduced its share.

“Not one of the lessons of the past has been learned, not one of them
has been applied, and the situation is incomparably more dangerous,”
Churchill said in 1934. And every one of those words is more urgently
true today, in a nuclear age.
