Why Nations Buy Arms !• There are various reasons why nation buy arms, it
depends from country to country. basic five are give below.
• Security • Prestige• Domestic Politics• Technology• Economics
SECURITY• We know that international system is based on
lawlessness and disorder.• State will do whatever is necessary to not to
compromise on there security needs.• In 1945 when USA developed there weapon
program Russia responded by developing more aggressive military hardware.
PRESTIGE• Some countries feel that control over such armaments
make then more powerful, respected and dominating in world.
• France is the prime example who went into arms race for status out look.
• France was considered a great power in Europe. But after World War 2 it was forced out of Vietnam . France then thought weapons were means to international power and prestige.
Domestic Politics• Domestic politics also play an important role in
arms race• In 1964 Shatri said “ We should never enter into
arms competition” but by the end 1964 Shatri had compromised with the head of Atomic Energy Commission and conducted nuclear test .
TECHNOLOGY • Some experts say that if a state has technological
ability to develop weapons it will.• Israel is the clear example . Israel never need a
nuclear weapons but due to access to technology it had started its nuclear program.
• Britain don’t have any real threat from any nation. but do access to nuclear technology she owns nuclear weapons.
Economics• USA spends $7.5 trillion developing ,producing &
maintaining nuclear weapons.• N Korea being one of the worlds poorest
countries with Per capita income of 1,750 still counties to practice arms race so are the examples of Iran and Pakistan.
Is Arms Leading Us To Destruction!
• Answer is “NO” every nation have right to fight for there survival.
• But some nation are also keeping arms to threat other nation like USA, Russia and China.
• This arms are leading us to destruction .• In 2008 a US air force jet was carrying nukes over
New York city for one hour.
Can Arms Be For Peace ! • Arms were used by Prophet Muhammad (pbhm)
at battle of “bader” for peaces• According to my research “YES” Pakistan is
enjoying peace for last 50 years• Iran and Israel are other to examples survived on
earth due to arms in there hand.• Yet today arms are used by UN deployed force in
Africa for peace.
VIEW POINT !Over the year we have witnessed that arms race has contributed lot towards increasing global problems rather then wiping out serious issues. but many also believe that it is due to arms race that many wars have been prevented. “there are many a boys here today who looks war as a glory, but boys ,it is all hell” ______SHERMAN
