Yea. That surprised me, as well.
biggest lie in the united states.. that our military-industrial welfare program is for our defense.
its so we can supply the world with human killing devices
this is why we cant 'afford' universal health care
this is why we cant 'afford' universal health care
Not true, the US-american healthcare system currently is one of the most expensive in the world, spending more per capita than for example Germany. It's simply very inefficient because it's a for-profit system.
thats why its quoted, its just another lie that we cant afford it
Yea. I just finished the movie, Lord of War, and got curious. I wish that movie wasn't as accurate as it was.
It is absolutely not why we don't have universal healthcare
right, its just another lie, which is why i quoted it.
Hm, I thought south Korea would be in this list for sure.
It's not on this list, but it is one of US's customers.

Eight nations of the world represent 85.2% of the arms trade, and the US makes half of that.
The other 200 or so have 14.8% of the market.
I guess I'm not really surprised, this is classic pareto / 1%er representation
Yea. At least, I now know why world peace won't happen in my lifetime. War is too profitable.
we are the mother of war. with out the usa they would all be fighting with sticks and stones. i say shut off the supply peeps.
