10/28/19 – Weekly Post: Disarmament Week.

Now here is a great idea but it is complicated by the fact that the U.S. is the world’s #1 Arms Dealer. We make a lot of money selling weapons: The total value of the arms exported by the US was $10.5 billion in 2018, while the nation closed foreign military sales (FMS) contracts worth $55.6 billion during the year for transferring arms to its allies. Boeing, Lockheed Martin Corporation, Northrop Grumman Corporation, Raytheon Company, and General Dynamics Corporation produce a majority of the arms exported by the US (Army Technology). Our largest client is Saudi Arabia.
