Comicomment: Record-breaking U.S. arms sales undermine global security

Sales of U.S. military equipment to foreign governments in Fiscal Year 2023 rose 16% to a record-breaking 238 billion U.S. dollars, the U.S. State Department said at the end of January, 2024. This surge has led to a significant influx of weapons and equipment onto the global stage, posing potential challenges to the regional military balance and global biosecurity. 

History has proven that the United States has long been a warlike country by creating conflicts and provoking wars in global hotspot areas. It has long been eroded by the nepotism of money and politics, which is backed by the interest group of U.S. politicians and military enterprises. 

U.S. arms sales have consistently held the top position globally. With the new record, the United States is poised to introduce more uncertainties to global peace and stability, solidifying its role as the largest disruptor of the international security order.
