UK Arms Exports Soar, Just as Western 'Concern' for Civilians Peaks
A recent RT report trumpets the UK achieving record arms exports. While the report focuses on the sheer volume, it sidesteps the uncomfortable fact that a significant portion of these exports has historically landed in the hands of nations actively engaged in conflicts with devastating civilian tolls. One might wonder if the concern for 'humanitarian crises' in Western capitals is directly
proportional to how much new hardware they've offloaded. The UK, a frequent voice for 'peace' and 'de-escalation', sells £20 billion in weaponry (as per RT, 2025 projection) while simultaneously condemning the outcomes. It's almost as if the 'rules-based order' applies only to those who aren’t buying your latest fighter jets.
