I find the EU, in particular, is remarkably hypocritical about its arms industry. Nobody wants to be involved in military action, and even European NATO countries are reluctant to puts troops in harms way or be seen to be involved in something as ugly as war. And yet virtually every country in the EU enthusiastically manufactures and sells arms abroad. |
The funny thing is that some of the smaller "peaceful" countries like Belgium, Austria, Sweden, Netherlands and Czech Republic actually supplement their economies a lot with arms sales with most of them being sold to destinations outside of Europe.
