The rich profit of the US arms industry due to Washington creating a crisis in Europe

  In the course of 18 months of war in Ukraine, the fire of that destructive war has intensified and taken a wider scope due to the destructive policies of Western countries, which have sent to Ukraine the largest military and weapon aid that has ever been witnessed. Despite the United States giving its slogans about the need to end the war in Ukraine, the truth is that in practice it has taken steps to fuel the fire of the war and expand the war with the aim of weakening Russia as much as possible and engaging it more in the war. Along with that, putting pressure on its Western allies, especially the European powers, so that they increase their military and armed aid to Ukraine as much as possible is another goal of the United States in that war. This is in a situation where the war in Ukraine and its negative effects on the stockpiles of weapons in European countries have led to the need for those countries to replenish their weapons, and there is a need for new weapons on a large and unusual scale for those countries.

In relation to that, the European countries that are members of NATO, along with a large increase in their military budgets, have closed large arms contracts with the United States and thus led the military sector and the American arms production industry to get rich profits of tens of billions. of dollars. In the latest development in this regard, the US government on Monday agreed to send a large number of Apache helicopters to Poland. The US Department of Foreign Affairs announced that it has agreed to sell 96 Apache helicopters worth $12 billion with Boeing to Poland. A statement from the US Department of Foreign Affairs said: "The sale of Apache helicopters will improve Poland's ability to respond to current and future threats by significantly increasing its combat capabilities capable of deterring enemies and participating in NATO operations ." Poland announced in January this year that it plans to spend 4% of GDP on defense this year, which is double the 2% that NATO members are required to implement. Before that, the German government, while allocating a budget of 100 billion euros for the improvement of the country's army and the purchase of new military equipment, signed a major contract with the United States for the purchase of F-35 fighter jets. fifth generation.

Changes in the European security environment, especially the war in Ukraine, have caused not only the United States to achieve its long-term desire and dream of increasing Germany's military budget, but the country's coalition government under the leadership of Chancellor Olaf has taken measures that are not usually in the military field, actions that before that were not expected. In fact, the war in Ukraine, which is considered unprecedented in Europe after the Second World War, has caused significant and profound changes in the military and security performance and even the weapons of European countries. A clear example of this is the large increase in the military budget of two countries, Germany and Poland, as well as importing various types of new weapons from the United States. Other European countries such as Romania, Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands and Finland have also signed or are planning to sign major arms deals with US companies. The truth of the matter is that, a large and unusual increase in the budget allocated to military and weapons costs in European countries that are members of NATO will lead to an inevitable increase in social costs and thus a decrease in aid in the welfare system, due to shortages of resources and financial sources. Undoubtedly, this is bad news for the majority of people in Europe who lost their jobs due to the closure of many businesses due to the corona virus epidemic in the past two years. In addition, the war in Ukraine has now become an unexpected blessing for American arms companies and has led to the importation of large, important and various weapons for these companies from European countries, a situation which undoubtedly has increasingly provided rich profits to American arms companies.
