I was surprised France surpassed us in arms dealing, but this fits in perfectly with their hypocritical attitude towards war.

Typical French hypocritical bullshit.
Russians Own NUF SAID! :@
Not suprised, the French were supplying the Interhamwe during that Rwanda Genocide, they don't have many ethics when it comes to the arms trade.
And the Russians, well we know that in every third world conflict the Kalishnikov and variaties make big apperences.

Oh, yes, supplying weapons to India. How horrible of them. Everyone knows the Indians are evil. .
France sells the most chemical weapons in the world.

They may look like perfume, but inside its biological agents that can kill millions. What a perfect plan to dominate the world.jkohlc wrote:

France only made the top two because it is making 3.5billion worth of submarines. I doubt if these will every take a life. More of a deterrent. France will fall back down the table when these Subs are built. Russia is arming China and India to the teeth, thats why they are top.
Unexploded cluster bombs and land mines are the real killers not subs. The largest manufacturers of land mines--including the United States, Russia, China, and Yugoslavia--have yet to sign the Mine Ban Treaty.
Come on you Americans are pissed because the Frenches are taking over. Its a bit of a drop considering, The United States supplied arms or military technology to more than 92% of the conflicts under way in 1999
In 2001, total world arms transfer agreements were worth nearly $26.4 billion. The United States led the world with 45.8% of all such agreements
U.S. weapons sales for 2001 accounted for 45.8% of all registered international arms deliveries. This was roughly than 2.5 times the value of exports by the second (United Kingdom) and third (Russia) largest exporters, 9.7 times the level of exports registered by France, and 19 times the level of exports registered by China, could it be that because the USA has been heavily involved in conflict, its selling arms to itself? Usually there is some kind of war going on which the USA can arm one or both sides, but with this war she can't arm the Insurgents, even Rumsvelt would have a hard time explaining that one. World military expenditures topped $839 billion in 2001, up from $798 billion in 2000. The United States government's military spending accounts for 36% of that amount, which does not reflect increases in spending following September 11. Things only went downhill for the US arms trade after 9/11, was it because the USA could no longer be seen selling arms to "terrorist" nations like Rwanda?

Not really, Americans are pissed because we thought we had the monopoly of "Hey world go fuck yourself". Seems France has the same attitude and they are cutting in on our turfJahManRed wrote:

France didn't overtake the US - they only overtook them in sales to developing nations.Turquoise wrote:

I know they've had a few russian FAGOT pieces, including one of the earlier migs, dunno about the rockets thoughSpaceApollyon wrote:

might have had the names mixed up, now i can't find the report i initially saw it in, I recall reading that they were using both french and russian ATM systems when everyone was wondering how so many merkava's had been knocked out, the first part of the warhead takes out reactive/laminate armor, the second penetrates the hull. I'll see if I can find it, it was in some pieces that i was reading back during the last incursion into lebanon.

So, what you're saying is that France sold Hezbollah several FAGOTs? I mean, I know France is probably full of FAGOTs, but you have to be careful who you sell them to. Hezbollah will no doubt try and shoot off loads of FAGOTs at Israel to "penetrate" their defenses. It's not surprising to me that Hezbollah would be interested in France's FAGOT technology.
Israel must now watch its back for FAGOTs.... how evil...

God damnit I hate the french.
Sober enough to know what I'm doing, drunk enough to really enjoy doing it
maybe the french sold less weapons than anyone else but their prices were higher!
The weather is ALWAYS good. I can't remember the last time we had decent rain.hilltop2bit wrote:
