No New Begining To An Old End

Arms trade is the world’s most successful business operation which is very profitable one. The annual spending or annual military spending ranges about One trillion which is nearing the expenses done during the cold war period.

The cold war period was one such time in history during which arms production and trading out of outdated arms to under developed countries was quite common. The annual expenses crossed trillion’s even during that time.

Each year around $30 million are made in the sales of arms. Every year the arms are transferred to countries mainly developing countries from the developed countries. A report called Grimmett report is prepared to track the delivery of arms. The supplier nation for arms include United States, Russia, England, China, France, Germany and few other European countries.

Now even more arms and produced and distributed. In this spinning earth anything is possible. Is this an indication to let us know that another cold war, imperialization and colonization going to take place again? Hope this is a not a new beginning to an old end.

Arms can be made for protection and not for destruction. As always science and technology are good slaves but a bad dictator or master.

The amount of money spent on war , arms research and buying weapons can be used for good purpose like educating all children in the world, Food and shelter for all and many other activities.
