Brian Cloughley - Nato Is A Goldmine For Us Weapons’ Industries
When yous larn to hold upward leader of a province i of your principal jobs seems to hold upward selling armaments made past times your country's arms manufacturers. Trump is a master copy salesman too he is proverb that the U.S. of A. produces the world's best weapons. Hmm, but non every bit practiced every bit the Russian ones which cost far less to prepare because their nationalised arms manufactures are non trying to extract every bit much coin every bit possible out of the Russian populace similar Western companies do. There must hold upward improve ways to brand coin rather than force this protection racket? KV
Countries of the NATO armed services alliance accept been ordered past times President Trump to increment their spending on weapons, too the reasons for his insistence they do too hence are becoming clearer. It’s got zero to do amongst whatsoever defense rationale, because, later on all, the Secretary General of the US-NATO armed services alliance, Jens Stoltenberg, has admitted that “we don’t watch whatsoever imminent threat against whatsoever NATO ally” too the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute recorded inwards its 2018 World Report that “at $66.3 billion, Russia’s armed services spending inwards 2017 was twenty per cent lower than inwards 2016.”
Even Radio Free Europe, the records that Russia has reduced its defense spending.
There is demonstrably no threat whatever to whatsoever NATO province past times Russia, but this is considered irrelevant inwards the context of U.S. of A. arms’ sales, which are flourishing too beingness encouraged to increment too multiply.
On July 12, the minute too in conclusion hateful solar daytime of the recent US-NATO meeting, Reuters reported Trump as saying that “the U.S. makes past times far the best armed services equipment inwards the world: the best jets, the best missiles, the best guns, the best everything.” He went on “to listing the overstep U.S. of A. arms makers, Lockheed Martin Corp, Boeing Co too Northrop Grumman Corp past times name.”
On July xi the Nasdaq Stock Exchange listed the stock cost of Lockheed Martin at $305.68. The hateful solar daytime later on Trump’s speech, it increased to $318.37.
On July xi the Nasdaq Stock Exchange listed the stock cost of Boeing at $340.50. The hateful solar daytime later on Trump’s speech, it increased to $350.79.
On July xi the New York Stock Exchange listed the stock cost of Northrop Grumman (it doesn’t look on Nasdaq) at $311.71. The hateful solar daytime later on Trump’s speech, it increased to $321.73.
