War for Profit: Exposing U.S. Military Industrial Complex | Vantage with Palki Sharma | N18G The U.S. has the world’s largest military — and the biggest defence budget. But who actually profits from the nearly $1 trillion America spends each year? Spoiler: it’s not the soldiers or veterans. It is private military contractors — from Lockheed Martin to SpaceX — have become the biggest winners of America’s wars. With over $2.4 trillion funnelled to private firms between 2020 and 2024, war is no longer just a government affair. It’s a business. Palki Sharma tells you why that’s a problem. --- US | Wars | US Military | Lockheed Martin | Donald Trump | Firstpost | World News | News Live | Vantage | Palki Sharma | News #usa #wars #usmilitary #lockheedmartin #donaldtrump #firstpost #vantageonfirstpost #palkisharma #worldnews Vantage is a ground-breaking news, opinions, and current affairs show from Firstpost.
