A world Arms sale the United States maintains Number #1 for profit or peril?

Tuesday, October 02, 2007

Again the United States beats the competition and is the leading supplier of weapons to the industrialized nations of the world in 2006 for better or for worse?

The need to increase profits and gain political influence is the end game of these countries supplying the bulk of the world’s arms.

During 2006, the United States has sales agreements to sell $10.3 billion in weapons. Russia was second with $8.1 billion, or 28.1 percent, and Britain was third with $3.1 billion, or 10.8 percent.
