Here are your hosts. Hello, welcome to war college. I'm Matthew Gault. And I'm Derek Gann. War is a racket.

Damn, business is good. When it comes to the global arms trade, no one sells more weapons than the United States of America.

The U.S. controls about a third of the nearly

hundred billion dollar global arms trade. Its closest next competitor, Russia

doesn't even do half that business. January 2019 was a record year for the defense industry. Profits were up across the board.

She specializes in the business of war. Amanda, thank you so much for joining us.
