Arms Trade

I have seen how easy it is for nuclear contamination to occur, and how hard it is to clean it up. Do nations possess nuclear, chemical and biologic weapons because of fear of attack from some former(a) nation, or is it because without them the strong cannot exploit the wishy-washy? Andreas T.

While every nation has the right and the need to ensure its security, in these ever-changing times, arms requirements and procurements may need to metamorphose too.Each year, around $45-60 billion charge of arms sales are agreed. Some two-thirds of sales are made to underdeveloped countries. The 5 permanent members of the UN Security Council (US, Russia, France, unite Kingdom and China), together with Germany and Italy account for over 80% of the arms sold in the midst of 2001 and 200 8. Some of the arms sold go to regimes where human rights violations will occur. Corruption frequently accompanies arms sales due to the great sums of money involved.World war machine expending had reduced since the Cold War ended, save a few nations such as the US retain high take spending. In recent years, global military expenditure has increased again and is flat comparable to Cold War levels again. recent data shows global spending at over $1. 4 trillion, annually (or $1. 2 trillion at constant 2005 prices). The highest military spender is the US accounting for comely under half of the worlds spending, more than the rest of the G7 (most economically travel countries) combined, and more than all its potential enemies, combined.
