Redirected

With the powers that be having spent $5 trillion dollars since 1940 on developing and maintaining its nuclear arsenal, would only redirect those funds to help heal humanity instead of trying to destroy it in the fastest way.
There is also a Joint Mine Resistant Ambush Protected Vehicle with a price tag of $41.6 Billion dollars that could instead be used to reverse aging and stop getting old and grey.
The Trident II Missiles system cost only $51 Billion dollars and moves at 13,000 mph which thank God has never been used.
Maxing out at 1190 mph, the F18 Hornet cost a whopping $70.5 million dollars with an inventory of 5,209 aircraft where it seems the price of peace is being abused.

Project Thor contains the Rods of god at a cost of $230 Million dollars for each tungsten rod in a bundle, hovering over the earth and illuminating any danger of nuclear fallout.
Instead of producing weapons of war, could we only imagine those funds redirected and funneled into cancer research there would be phenomenal results without a doubt?
We demonstrate hatred towards others fueled by hatred from a few without regard for what is true.
Time to redirect these funds to a more compassionate form of peace and love turning weapons into plow shares, and stop following the powers that be and the whims of a few.
