Rodong Sinmun Saturday in a commentary discloses that the basis of the U.S. economy is the military economy and the real manipulator of the U.S. politics is not politicians in the administration or Congress but the munitions monopoly plutocrats with huge funds under their control.

If the munitions economy weakens, the overall economy will shake to its foundation and if even high-ranking politicians are out of favor with the munitions monopoly plutocrats, they are expelled from the political circles. This is just a. reality in the U.S., the commentary says, and goes on:

That is why the U.S. politicians maintain a war policy and open a market for munitions monopolies in return for the guarantee for power keeping, and the U.S. has increased production and sales of munitions every year and its munitions industries do not go bankrupt in the face of economic crisis.

For the U.S. labeled as a war merchant, arms export is one of the means for obtaining financial income and implementing its aggressive foreign policy and a major lever for domination and interference. That is why the U.S. is intentionally and systematically escalating the regional situation.

The U.S. is talking about peace and stability outwardly but what it really seeks is aggression, war and the aggravation of tension, and the U.S. export of arms is just the export of dispute and war.

The U.S. is, indeed, a war merchant and strangler of peace that causes disputes and conflicts in different parts of the world in order to meet its own interests, indifferent to the existence of mankind.
