some of us believe that arms sales exacerbate unrest and involve so many other subjects - including immigrants and refugees. Not that simple Jim.
It is some obvious people and also not so obvious people that manipulate to create the instability of political systems that generate the need for arms.
A lot of it is a game of smoke and mirrors, but innocents get killed.
A perfect example of government duplicity below.

Looking underneath stones in the middle east does more that uncover IED's. A little research on ISIS uncovers many differing stories-I wonder where the real truth lies.
Definitely a need to believe nothing, question everything.

Oftentimes what hits the headlines is what "they" want you to see, the real story is very murky and deeply hidden apart from the accidental release of "gems".
Once upon a time planes flew into SE asia carrying arms. Reputedly some flew out with a payload of narcotics. Does this account for continuous war in the yemen?(The opium wars all over again?). Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose, perhaps? And what we know of the Iran/Contra affair is only what has been released after multiple applications of bleach.
The list goes on and on.....
You can trust government just as much as a rabid dog!
