The war years of 1941 to 1945 saw one of the most significant short term increases in growth in the history of the U.S. economy. Growth during this period was driven by government spending and accompanied by declines in consumption and investment in comparison to the pre-war trend.
During the war 17 million new civilian jobs were created, industrial productivity increased by 96 percent, and corporat profits after taxes doubled. War needs directly consumed over one-third of the output of industry, but the expanded productivity ensured a remarkabl supply of consumer goods to the people as well.

The United States has been involved in numerous military endeavors within the Middle East and Latin America since the 1960s. Having been in a continuous state of war since the September 11 attacks, they have an annual military budget larger than many country’s military budgets combined.
According to the Stockholm Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), While global trade in major arms declined by 4.6%, European countries increased their arms purchases by 19%, which amounts to the biggest increase of all world regions. This was Europe’s response to Russia’s annexation of the Crimean Peninsula in 2014.

Industry executives and government officials said growing concern about Iran’s missile development program is another key factor.

In 2017-end, when US President Donald Trump approved a license for Ukraine to buy arms and approved the export of weapons worth $47 million, Observers watching Russia-Europe warned that the move could put Russia’s President Vladimir Putin on the warpath in the region.

Over the past decade under banners like the Pivot to Asia and the Indo-Pacific Strategy, the US has been using arms sales, most of them second-hand, as bait to expand influence and infiltrate Southeast Asian countries.
The US has always been known to develop the most advanced weapons in the world. Some of its outdated weapons remain top class in the eyes of some countries and regions and it is therefore supposed to bel a good bargain.

US has failed to control its weapons transfers, and some of them have ended up on the black market, eventually falling into the wrong hands including those of terrorists. According to a report by Conflict Armament Research (an independent arms-tracking organization) some weapons bought by the US military in 2015 ended up in the hands of ISIS fighters.

While the US sells these weapons often under the name of safeguarding peace, it is hoping to create more wars , so US arms dealers can earn more money.
