The member countries of the United Nations (which includes the United States) have agreed to spend $7.5 billion of their taxpayers’ money on military ‘peacekeeping’ operations for 2014.

That’s an increase of $200 million USD from the 2013 budget, mainly because of military operations in Africa and Syria.

The taxpayers of the U.S. are forced to provide 28% of the funding, while Japanese taxpayers provide 11% (in second place after the U.S.).
