The United States of America, God bless 'em:
Top Arms Exporting Countries, 2004
Country Total Arms Exports
USA $18.56 billion
Russia $ 4.60 billion
France $ 4.40 billion
UK $ 1.90 billion
Germany $900 million
Canada $900 million
China $700 million
Israel $500 million
Libya $300 million
Brazil $300 million
So, not only is our military budget greater than the rest of the world combined, but so are our arms sales.
We're #1! We're #1! We're #1!

Israel now ranks as the number three weapons exporter in the world, according to the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, which was quoting Defense News, a U.S. weekly magazine. Numbers one and two are the U.S. and Russia, with weapon exports of $13.2 billion and $4.4 billion respectively in 2002.
The figures for the Jewish state amounted to $4.1 billion, as communicated by the Israeli Defense Ministry. Until summer 2003, the Israeli Defense Ministry refused to communicate statistics on Israeli arms sales, because of some critics' charges that Israel passes on American military technology to third countries (Haaretz).
Summarizing: the Jewish state is stealing American technology. The Jewish state is betraying its ally by selling U.S. technology to countries where the U.S. does not want its technology to be sold. The Jewish state lied before 2003 by dissimulating its shenanigans in this regard.
Finally, the Jewish state is indulging beyond measure in the business of death. Indeed, on a per inhabitant basis, Israel sells 25 times more weapons than the United States and 35 times more than Russia! Not bad for a people pretending to always be an innocent victim, never guilty of anything.

US, by far!! We export death and are "surprised" when they get used against us!!
If I were the arms dealers, I would be unloading that 22 caliber M16, which is about worthless!
Per inhabitant? How lame is that??
Israel has 6.5 million inhabitants in an area smaller than NJ, and much smaller than Lake Erie.
The US has a population 300 MILLION!
Don't you think that is an unfair comparison, and another reason statistics sometimes lie?
How many F-15's have they sold?

The Soviet Union has been for the past 50 years, but in recent years Russia has taken a backseat.
