The fact that we’re the world’s largest arms exporter is not something Americans should feel proud of. We can transition from war economy to peace economy, no differently then we can transition from dirty economy to clean economy; there’s even money to be made investing in peace.

Transition to a cleaner green economy will not happen as long as #RepublicanHypocrites obstruct and obstruct to emphasize their #priority issues. #GOPHypocrisy

"In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex." Eisenhower, 1961 warned us. The powers that be won't let go of their money/control

Agreed. US arm sales must decline, substantially, and other nations must do the same. The goal should be a 50% reduction during this decade, 2021-2030. I discuss this in my book: amazon.com/dp/1736470302

Investing in peace is something Americans should feel proud of. After-all, the last war America won was the second world war

Investing in peace spreads the dividends to tens of millions. Investing in war funnels the payoff into a few greedy hands (Generals/Admirals, Execs, political criminals). Since the latter controls the decisions, they always choose to benefit themselves regardless of the voters.

I'm really proud of that actually.
