The Military Department of Texas has an annual budget of 1.8 billion dollars, putting it ahead of some notable nations, including 8 members of NATO (Estonia, Latvia, Croatia, Slovenia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Albania, and Bulgaria)
Edit: they’re actually requesting 2.4 billion for 25

Texas is the greatest state in the land.

So, has Trump seen this map, saw Greenland and then thought: we can take Greenland?

That’s rather underwhelming. Non of those countries have anything special militarily.
Small, poor countries vs Texas, a $2.6 trillion economy (larger than Canada, Brazil and Italy).

Do they think that’s something to be proud of?

The well known huge Bosnian military budget… How does one know that Croatia and Serbia(around 1.3B) have a smaller budget than Texas, but Bosnia with it’s 0.2B is on the map with a bigger budget than Taxas.

Seriously, Estonia?

Greenland should have the same as Dennark since it’s a protectorate and they share the same military

Why would a province need an army? Thats the job of the goverment? Borderpatrol is for customs, so whats the point?

I love how Americans need to feel superior to everyone and only make fools of themselves with stupid little comparisons.

This map needs to be updated after Jan 20. Greenland, Panama and Canada should be same color as US

Yeah, Texas sorta sucks. The US would be fine without their stinkin’ ass. Fucking Florida wouldn’t real be missed much either.

This isn’t the flex anyone thinks this could be. Texas is a huge and strategically important state for the USA. Produces a sizable proportion of petroleum, natural gas, grain, cattle, and multitudes of other durable goods, machinery and commodities. Also has important military assets. It makes complete sense the US spends so much in Texas. They’re not actually competing with Mongolia or Madagascar for military expenditures.

If I remember correctly, didn’t Texas have like one of worlds largest air forces like in the top 20

Fun fact, if this meant the Texas defense budget and not the budget for national guard and the like, then only 6 nations(including the US) would be above Texas. Texas is also the number 1 highest state by defense budget followed by Virginia and California.
