Unlike corporations that sell to consumers, Lockheed Martin and the other
top contractors to the U.S. Government are highly if not totally dependent
upon sales to governments, for their profits, especially sales to
their own government, which they control — they control their home market,
which is the U.S. Government, and they use it to sell to its allied
governments, all of which foreign governments constitute the export

 markets for their products and services.

These corporations control the U.S. Government, and they control NATO.
And, here is how they do it, which is essential to understand, in order to be
able to make reliable sense of America’s foreign policies, such as which
nations are ‘allies’ of the U.S. Government (such as Saudi Arabia and Israel),
and which nations are its ‘enemies’ (such as Libya and Syria) — and are thus
presumably suitable for America to invade, or else to overthrow by means of
a coup. First, the nation’s head-of-state becomes demonized; then, the
invasion or coup happens. And, that’s it. And here’s how.

Because America (unlike Russia) privatized the weapons-industry (and even

And, furthermore:

“New York Times Middle Eastern correspondent Robert F.

Worth described Saleh as reaching an understanding with powerful
feudal ‘big sheikhs’ to become ‘part of a Mafia-style spoils system
that substituted for governance’.[18] Worth accused Saleh of
exceeding the aggrandizement of other Middle Eastern strongmen
