The administration is also under pressure from U.S. defense contractors facing growing competition from foreign rivals such as China and Russia. But any loosening of the restrictions on weapons sales would be in defiance of human rights and arms control advocates who said there was too great a risk of fueling violence in regions such as the Middle East and South Asia or arms being diverted to be used in terrorist attacks.

Shares of the five biggest U.S. defense contractors, including Lockheed, Boeing, Raytheon Co (RTN.N), General Dynamics Corp (GD.N) and Northrop Grumman (NOC.N) have more than tripled over the last five years and currently trade at or near all-time highs.

The competition would be keen, very keen!

One day not too far away from today, perhaps these extremely advanced arms exporters would be quite willing to export their very Least Advanced arms that could still be good enough to destroy our entire earth after any one of the aggressive importers initiating the destroying process through pressing their arms' buttons by their supreme leaders!

Suggestion: The 4 entities US/EU/China/Russia should form a World peace keeping force, just like police force, in order to defend our earth from any approaching asteroids, or UFOs.

All other countries should financially contribute peace keeping fees to be shared by these 4 entities as coordinated by the UN.

How many countries would allow their police force or arms manufacturers to sell their Least Advanced arms to any gangs or remote villages after the arms becoming less powerful? lol

"taking action at every stage of the production and consumption of plastic."
In a certain sense, the ecology systems individually of producing/consuming arms and plastics are quite similar.

Without implementing forward looking policies, they both could become out of control to reach a point/level of no return one day - probably our future generations would find nobody to blame but us! lol

Especially when one day an Intelligent Robot sitting in a common household would know well how to make bombs of any type, as long as the holusehold owner wants to try! lol

"In years to come, I think people will be shocked at how today we allow so much plastic to be produced needlessly.

Plastic damages wildlife and habitats, washing into the ocean, killing sea birds, mammals and turtles which get tangled in waste and causing harm to marine species which swallow it as food.

May will pledge the UK will show global leadership on the issue, taking action at every stage of the production and consumption of plastic.

‘F-52’ planes Trump boasted of selling to Norway

President Donald Trump this week boasted of delivering “F-52” jets to the Norwegian government — however, it turns out there is no such thing as an F-52.


As the Washington Post reports, F-52 jets are fictional planes that are only found in the video game “Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare.”

“In November we started delivering the first F-52s fighter jets,” Trump said this week during a press conference with Norwegian Prime Minister Erna Solberg. “We have a total of 52 and they’ve delivered a number of them already a little ahead of schedule.”

According to the “Call of Duty” Wiki page, the F-52 is “an advanced fighter aircraft in service of the United States of America and the Sentinel Task Force” that “is equipped with afterburners for greater speed to outrun aircraft, as well as air brakes, which provide the fighter with additional maneuverability in tight corners or for avoiding enemy fire.”

The Washington Post asked White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders if President Trump is a “Call of Duty” fan, but the White House so far has declined to comment.
