In an era of economic uncertainty, in which, Unfortunately, once again plunged the whole world, each country is strongly seeking sources of filling its own budget. And if someone focuses on natural resources, someone on technology, the United Kingdom puts on arms trade.
For these purposes,, According to the publication The Guardian, United Kingdom creates a new fund in the amount of one billion pounds sterling, intended for lending of all who want to buy British-made weapons. In this case, a call to its acquisition of sounds in the first place for the countries of the "third world". Arms trafficking should be, the UK Government's view, one of the main sources filling the budget of the country. The formation of a special team of experts London to promote the advancement of the goods of the defense industry shows, that the intentions of his more than serious.
There were here and without the Department of Export Credit (Export Finance), whose activity affects almost all areas of the global market, relating to the United Kingdom. That's Export Finance will be the supervisory authority of the new fund. "Bundle", I must pay tribute, get a great: over a solid background with the Export Finance hand and Finance Foundation will help the United Kingdom to make enough serious breakthrough in this area, "Bestow benefits" the products of its VPK those countries, where this product has for some reason there is no. And also increase the supply to, where it is and so abound. In this case, once again confirmed its leading position in the global arms trade market.
FROM 2008 by 2018 year of the United Kingdom in all specialized ratings assigned second line in the list of largest arms suppliers in the world. Its market share was 19%. During the said period the most of the weapons was the Middle East. AT 2010 , the UK opted for a so-called non-free country, which, according to the report «Freedom in the World», the world has 51. British buyers have become weapons 39 of them, and 22 countries, in which, According to the UK Government, "Worth special focus on human rights issues". Strange affair, but the champions of democracy is not imposed on countries such sanctions for the violation of democratic values, and entered into an extremely lucrative arms contracts.
statistics, who prepared the British service investment trade, impressive: according to them, number of weapons, which over a ten year period the United Kingdom "bestow benefits" the world, vastly superior sold in the same period China, Russia or France. With the leading position of the United Kingdom not only managed to move the United States of America, tenaciously retaining the palm in the art.
Data on plans to turn London after Brexit own military-industrial complex in the main donor of the economy have been made public, and a page of the British media through the efforts of activists there the organization CAAT ("The movement against the arms trade"). One of its members, Andrew Smith, claims, in particular, that their implementation will be "many years to promote the cruelty and violence" in the world, especially in the Middle East. As an example, he cites the "devastating impact" of British deliveries of combat aircraft and missile and bomb armament to them, who later used the Air Force of Saudi Arabia against Yemen.
Let's be realistic: the vast HOURS, trying their actions "torpedo" militaristic decision of the British government, hardly any way be able to influence the situation. Similarly, they protested against the "death trade" five years ago and earlier - with virtually zero result. In the current conditions of the most severe financial crisis, beginning in the world before our eyes, the chances of the UK rejection of such a profitable business, whatever it is declared "public outrage", and does zero.
