Is it true that Global military expenditure (Armaments) is a basic support to the world's economy?

Question

So how can you have Peace and Security at the same time?

Answer 1

The gun lobby or the arms lobby ....is simply supplying what some countries want.

If no body wanted their stuff they'd be out of business.  The question isn't military expenditure, its those of us who want to use it.

Your question and the answers somehow give me hope in future generations. Its great to see innocence, brightness and this brave new egalitarian generation.

The future belongs to you guys. I wish you luck.

Answer 2

This is a lie. We have been pouring billions into wars for the last years and we are in a recession.

Infrastructure, education, elimination of hunger will support global wealth and prosperity (but unfortunately do not pay the bills for the military-industrial complex)
