Things that sustain life (intentionally) should take priority in my opinion.

Ok what about medicine that was developed largely as a result of war? I'm not pro war by the way, I've seen it and it's ugly, but "money should go to good things not war" is such a facile statement
So weapons should be the priority as weapons have again and again saved lives.
Are you arguing that war is a net good for humanity? It’s quite a take
This is your imagination. I didn't say that. I didn't say anything about war. I said weapons save lives. We can see again and again and again that if you don't have weapons then the people who hate you will attempt to kill you.
American propaganda has completely shifted the ways people think.
You completely miss the point. If we want to have better future then two values must become together - superior philosophy and superior weapons. It is clear that nothing good come out when only one is presented.
