Weapons

 When the media report on the conflicts that trouble the world, they necessarily talk about the destruction, death and motives of the opponents. But what we never hear about is where all the arms come from.

Arms are expensive, so who pays for them?

How can the smallest terrorist groups afford and acquire these arms?

Are American taxpayers paying for the arms that kill and destroy in these conflicts?

Who are the arms makers and dealers?

What are the profits they make?

What is the extent of their international influence?

Is there as much money being poured into the efforts of peace as into the efforts of war?
