Read in a news article that, China is spending almost 50 billion dollars on defense for this year which is larger than US. Not able to understand why that much...is there 3rd world war on the way...

That's the data for 2013 and this info is for 2014

If you think the US will go from close to $700B to less than $50B this year ... you have another thing coming.

OMG... Canada made the list! 
Are they defending themselves against Wolverine?

eh?
Scissors cuts paper, paper covers rock, rock crushes lizard, lizard poisons Spock, Spock smashes scissors, scissors decapitates lizard, lizard eats paper, paper disproves Spock, Spock vaporizes rock, and as it always has, rock crushes scissors.

That would have gone better with the Wolverine comment above.

When they come to collect on the US debt they want to be sure they have the muscle?

Don't worry, Mother Nature is about to exterminate the overpopulous violently self-destructive two-legged warm-blooded mammals who walk upright and pretend to communicate by making low-frequency waves in air who have been so busy destroying the Earth and all its other species while claiming they are "sentient" and somehow "divine" in a way that rocks, plants, trees, insects, etc., are not.
Be assured that cockroaches, and other important species, will survive.
cheers, Bill

“Oh, you can't help that,” said the Cat: “we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.”
“How do you know I'm mad?” said Alice.
“You must be," said the Cat, or you wouldn't have come here.” Lewis Carroll

"... and the shark, cruising deep, went very hungry that year."
The closing line from a short story I read, long ago.

Unfortunately, no. The story was one of those nuclear armageddon aftermath bits that were popular during the Cold War. I don't remember the story itself, just the closing line.

Funny how single lines will stick in your memory for years to come.
Memory is a strange thing. As I get older I have a hard time remembering what I had for lunch yesterday, but I can remember in fine detail things that happened a half century ago.

Interesting use of the word defense though.

Fairly standard, the USA has had the largest "defence" budget for many years, and been involved in more "defences" than
every other country - either directly, or by funding terrorist organisations to do their dirty work.
From the rest of the world's perspective, this is aggression and terrorism (the definition of which is using violence as a form of coercion to achieve political ends).
It should be no surprise that the US has itself become a target of terrorism.

Yes, and it will also involve aliens.

In which case it won't be a World War, Shirley.
