The Big Business of Nuclear Weapons Manufacturing

Defense companies secure billions of dollars every year from government contracts to maintain and construct nuclear weapons. The Congressional Budget Office projects that the U.S. government could spend $634 billion between 2021-2030 on nuclear forces. Many of these companies like Northrop Grumman, General Dynamics, Lockheed Martin and Raytheon have seen a rise in stock prices amid Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Watch the video above to learn about the companies profiting off of nuclear weapons and how the investor community feels about it.

The Big Business of Nuclear Weapons Manufacturing

[@MrCharliebbarkin]

What a lack of imagination. Only a handful of countries have nukes, and some countries have willingly given up their nuclear weapons programs, Ukraine, Iran, etc. And in fact, the number of active weapons has diminished from 70k in the 80's to less than 4k active warheads today. So yes, the cat can be put back in the bag if there is a will to do it.

[@ewanc1]

@@patricialongo5746 The point is that for peace to be lasting, there has to be parity between the likely combatants. For example, you could have two people of equal size and strength with just their fists which makes a fight less likely because the match is even but imagine that one of those people has increased their muscle mass and has been trained by an MMA fighter and the other hasn't. One person has an advantage which they're likely to use because they can and have a good chance at winning. The phrase 'Don't bring a knife to a gun-fight' highlights the point well.

Although i also want peace and don't intend to die because of a nuclear exchange. The only way to guarantee the freedom of the west and Russia and China simply don't do to who ever their leaders consider, the same as Russia is doing to Ukrain, is by having a deterrence wich maintains those powers in check. Who doesn't understand this should be living in conquered part of Ukrain. I find it hilarious that those people only protest on their countries in which their way of life (and roght to protest) is protected by those very weapons, and only ask the disarmament of their own countries.

These things are true however it is also true that we are currently enjoying the longest period of global peace in over 100 years... if it werent for the US's military dominance and stretegic partnerships like NATO this simply would not be possible. The alternative is a return to the pre-WWI state of the world and let the cycles of division and violence continue....

Nuclear weapons are not defensive, if one has to use it life on the planet will literally end. So what is the point of not working for nuclear disarmament? It is just dumb!

[@ianmastin]

@@acidbot666 I agree completely, Nuclear weapons were developed in a time when we believed the other side was already developing them and we believed they were well on their way to testing a bomb.... it wasnt until much later that it was discovered that the Nazis had abandoned their nuclear weapons program and by that point the cat was out of the bag. I do not believe there is a place for stretegic nuclear weapons in military conflict or global politics, these weapons have the potential to have devistating consiquences for the entire world regardless of who fires first but the reality is multiple nations on opposing sides of the coin have these weapons and convincing either side to dismantle them is about as futile as the story of the fox and the scorpion...

[@ha-meemfirozezaman1417]

There is a problem with this reporting. Not all companies making nuclear weapons listed in 4:06 to 4:09 are private. For example, Bharat Dynamics(An Indian company which produces ammunitions & missile systems) is owned by the Indian Government. The same goes for Rostec, is a Russian state-owned defense conglomerate. And finally, China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC), is also owned by the Chinese Government. The report kinda lumped all of them together.

It's like the old saying goes: If you want peace, prepare for war. Having nuclear weapons is the ultimate insurance policy against attack and to avoid attack, conventional or nuclear, you've got to be strong or appear to be strong to deter such an attack. The only way the system works is if we all have nukes or no-one has nukes. It's not the fault of defence contractors either. If governments didn't want nukes, there wouldn't be an industrial complex to supply them. To end any trade whether ethical or not, you've got to eliminate the market for it.

No-one is safe without nuclear weapons either. If it wasn't nuclear weapons it would be chemical, biological or just more potent conventional weapons. Bear in mind that we humans have been perfecting the art of killing each other as efficiently as possible for thousands of years and we've become very good at it hence the nukes. Also bear in mind that there haven't been any world wars or really any major wars since they were devised. They've kept the peace since World War 2 because everyone knows that World War 3 will be fought with nukes and no-one will dare use them because of the MAD principle. Don't get me wrong, I'd rather have a world without them but as long as one nation has them, so must we all to maintain the peace.

@@AdSd100 @Compass Rose has flawed logic, countries with more weapons don’t have less crime. A lock is something only used for protection, weapons and certainly those of mass destruction are not! Since the US were the first create nuclear weapons they used them twice in battle (against Japan at the end of WW2) afterwards they made them stronger so that other nations wouldn’t try to bomb them. But they have since then not considered to initiate an attack. A peaceful democracy (although very flawed and it remains to be seen to stay that way) is very unlikely to use it, unless (they or a close ally were) attacked by another nation in this way. Still not great of course) especially considering the fact that a president gone mad can order something like this but hopefully people would just not carry out his orders) and many people (probably at least half the Americans but possibly many more) want them gone but it’s hard to do so when other nations like Russia and North Korea have them and would possibly start an attack if the US didn’t have stockpiles of nuclear warheads. Besides the fact that no country should want this and all countries should want the countries that do have them to reduce their stockpiles to 0, Iran is not a super free democratic nation and has the potential to be the ones to use it if threatened with something not a nuclear attack (that’s extremely bad!!) Look up simulations of nuclear war and you will see why this is humanity’s biggest nightmare.

Most people want to live in a peaceful world absent of war. Unfortunately, history has taught us that peace is not the default. Our world is currently experiencing an unprecedented period of peace and prosperity. I believe that this peace and prosperity have created a generation of people who have become complacent and ignorant of the very real threats that our world faces. There have always been and will always be bad actors and power-hungry rulers that will seek conquest. Russia's invasion of Ukraine has made many of us realize that peace is not a given. There are world leaders and aspiring leaders that would if they thought they could, attack and invade the US and its allies. It's easy and progressive sounding to repeat empty platitudes about peace, but the realities and complexities of the world tell a different story. Theodore Roosevelt once wisely said, "Speak softly and carry a big stick." Halting US weapons productions will not stop Russia and China from advancing and improving their weapons.

[@arijitpalit2756]

America like situation is good for our national security. The defence contractors of US probably hold the best technologies humanity currently has. Many of these contractors are supplier of NASA. In the context of India L&T is also involved in HSR and the construction of the components for ITER.

Nuclear weapons parts don't get "rusty". They are made to last decades. Gold plated where necessary. Hell WW1 ordinance dug up by french farmers is often still viable rusty or not.

if the whole world gets rid or nukes. it will save ton of money. blaming the companies or a particular country for it is not fair, they will be making this equipments and instruments for other conventional weapons. hope the world realizes how much money is being spent on producing and maintaining nukes. its not simple or easy but is doable.
