The figures given in the previous post are inaccurate. Apologies.
The reality is far more worrying.
The United States exports seven billion dollars worth of armaments annually. Second is Russia, which exports $4.5 billion of guns, tanks and weapons of destruction every year. Germany has moved into third place. China is the fifth largest exporter of arms.
Shocking statistics.
