While Europe’s globalist establishment insists that citizens should accept managed decline—shrinking economies, spiraling crime, and demographic oblivion—their friends in the global arms industry, helping to fuel bloody wars in Eastern Europe and the Middle East—are enjoying record profits.
As ordinary Europeans struggle with inflation and insecurity, the world’s biggest weapons manufacturers posted a record-shattering $679 billion in revenue in 2024—a number made possible only because globalists keep fueling never-ending conflicts from Ukraine to the Middle East.
A new Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) report has revealed what many have long suspected: the war industry thrives while the West’s working and middle classes are left to decay.
The U.S. arms industry remains the leading profiteer of armed conflicts across the globe, with 39 U.S. companies raking in $334 billion.
Europe’s arms industry, however, isn’t far behind. Its 26 largest military firms enjoyed a 13% surge in sales—exactly during the same years when European governments claimed they “couldn’t afford” to stop mass immigration or invest in failing public safety systems.
Sweden’s powerful Wallenberg dynasty—long tied to EU power networks and globalist interests—cashed in with a 24% revenue jump for its flagship company, Saab.
The Czech-based CSG posted the most shocking rise: nearly 200% growth, fueled by contracts to feed Ukraine’s meat grinder with artillery shells and munitions.
Russia’s own weapons manufacturers saw revenues skyrocket as well, despite sanctions. Their combined 23% increase proves that Western policymakers have crippled Europe, while arms dealers everywhere count their profits.
Israel’s arms sector soared too, climbing 16%, as weapons systems flowed to global buyers amid the Gaza conflict.
SIPRI researchers even admit the truth: the arms giants are “capitalizing on high demand.” That is, they have zero incentive for peace because war is now a trillion-dollar business model.
And while Europeans fear walking in their own neighborhoods at night, defense corporations complain about “material shortages” because sanctions and Chinese export restrictions have complicated the supply chain for their already booming businesses.
Companies like Airbus, Safran, Thales, and Rheinmetall are now anxiously searching for new titanium and mineral sources, even as they lobby Brussels to keep the conflict in Ukraine going indefinitely.
Meanwhile, for the first time ever, nine Middle Eastern firms—including Turkey’s increasingly aggressive defense sector cracked the global top 100, pulling in $31 billion combined.
The Dubai-run EDGE group alone took in $4.7 billion, much of it through drone and missile tech exported worldwide, including to European states.
All of this paints a clear, undeniable picture: War is now—and has for a long time been—the most profitable racket on earth, and the same global liberal elites who lecture citizens about “solidarity” and “values” are the ones getting rich off bloodshed.
While the streets of both America and Europe become increasingly dangerous for ordinary citizens, and the latters’ borders collapse, and its welfare systems buckle under mass immigration, the war industry enjoys a golden age built upon honest, hardworking taxpayers’ backs.
