"War Is A Racket" For These 25 'Defense' Companies

 Data and Country Highlights

The data we used to create this graphic is listed in the table below.

Country Highlights: U.S.

The U.S. consistently has the world’s largest military budget, so it’s no surprise that American companies dominate this ranking. Here are some interesting facts about the top three:Lockheed MartinFormed in 1995 by the merger of Lockheed Corporation and Martin MariettaWhile primarily known for producing advanced fighter jets like the F-35, the company is also working with NASA on the Orion spacecraftRTX (formerly Raytheon Technologies)Raytheon produces a wide range of military equipment, including the Javelin portable anti-tank missile system. According to CSIS, the U.S. has supplied 7,000 Javelins to Ukraine, equal to roughly one-third of its stock. Northrop GrummanFormed in 1994 by the merger of Northrop and Grumman Aerospace, this company is known for developing the B-2 stealth bomber. In August 2023, the company opened an office in Taiwan to “accelerate access to the company’s technologies”.

Country Highlights: China

China’s top three companies in this ranking are all state-owned enterprises. Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC)AVIC is China’s largest aerospace and defense company, also ranking 150th in the Fortune Global 500 (2023).Chengdu Aerospace Corporation, a subsidiary of AVIC, produces China’s first operational stealth fighter, the J-20.China North Industries Group (CNIG)CNIG does business internationally under the name Norinco Group. In 2003, Norinco was sanctioned by the Bush administration for allegedly supplying Iran with missile technologies. China South Industries Group (CSIG)CSIG produces military vehicles, ammunitions, and other equipment. The company also owns Changan Automobile, a major car brand in China and one of the world’s largest EV producers.

Two European companies on this list that aren’t typically associated with the defense industry are Airbus and Rolls-Royce. When it comes to defense, Airbus produces a variety of military drones, fighters, and transports. On the other hand, Rolls-Royce is a major supplier of aircraft and naval engines, and designs the nuclear propulsion systems for the UK’s submarine fleet. It actually has no affiliation with Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, which is currently a subsidiary of BMW. The original company ran into financial difficulties in the 1970s, which led to the separation of the car and aero-engine businesses.

Fauci Files Reveal Pfizer Helped Biden Rig 2020 Election

 Pfizer secretly colluded with Joe Biden's team to help him rig the 2020 election against Trump, according to new Fauci documents. In his new book, "On Call," Fauci admits that Albert Bourla, the CEO of Pfizer, called him the night after Biden was declared the winner of the election, to inform him of Pfizer's "Game-changing results" from the rigged mRNA trial. "On November 7, after the absentee ballots were counted, Joe Biden was declared the winner of the presidential election. It was the very next night that Albert Bourla, Pfizer's CEO, called me away from my neighbors' fire pit to inform me about the game-changing results from the Pfizer mRNA vaccine trial. I finally thought we had truly turned a corner in defeating this terrible disease." Today reports: In another interesting tidbit, Fauci discusses Trump's FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn declaring that he would not go along with the Trump Administration's plan to roll out the vac...

The Biden-Harris White House Has An Iranian Spy Leaking U.S. Intelligence In It

 The question is, how did classified intelligence from the United States, showing Israeli military movements that suggest broader action against Iran, get to Tehran? The answer raises uncomfortable questions for the Biden-Harris White House, which has opposed Israel every step of the way in responding to Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran. Defying Biden got Israel the entire leadership of Hezbollah and Hamas, with the ultimate threat still looming: Iran and its nuclear program. Operations against Iran are being assessed also because Iran has started firing ballistic missiles into Israel, targeting civilian centers across the country. If Israel is close to launching a broader offensive against Iran, leaking U.S. intelligence would be a way to both try and deter Israel and give more warning to Iran. In 2012, similar allegations were made against the Obama administration when U.S. intelligence leaks showed that Israel was working towards using "Azerbaijan as a base of operations in the event...
