o
you're too naive
...........nowadays, apart from the UK-US-Israel Axis of Evil,
who's going to war......................countries know they're not
going to war.............buying weapons is just a way to cement
political ties and get economical
favours...................
Your line of
thought suggests that weapons purchases
serve no purpose other than political & that countries know with 100 %
certainty that they will not need weapons for war - that’s 100 % naivete.
even
if Russia has the best of everything by a huge margin, you'll never
see countries friendly to US
buying from the Russians.........and vice versa.........
If the Russian
weapon system is good, even countries friendly to the US will buy
them. The Igla is a good case in point. You see , it is not always
for a political purpose.
the French and Swedes have so much
difficulties trying to export their weapons becoz they have
virtually no political clout and they're not economical powerhouses
too..............
The
French and others have no difficulties
exporting
weapons which are
recognized to be excellent in their
respective
categories.
The Swedes as a matter of policy consider it unethical
to export weapons to countries it
deems
undemocratic or have poor
human rights records.
In fact Sweden exports a substantial amount
of
weapons to many countries worldwide. So do the French.
Clearly one does not need political clout to sell good
weapons systems.
Please study current affairs and
not Roman
history.
Truly , I say to you
Ignorance is Bliss.
