7. The real American exceptionalism is selling the most weapons in the world — by far

The U.S. has just 5 percent of the global population, but sells more than half of its weapons. And this number is increasing.

A new congressional study found that foreign arms sales by the U.S. increased by almost $10 billion in 2014 — up 35 percent.

No other countries even come close to the U.S. in weapons sales. As much as politicians and the media fear-monger about Russia, it sold just $10.2 billion in weapons in 2014 — a decrease from 2013. This pales in comparison to the $36.2 billion in arms sales the U.S. made in the same year....

Who is receiving the many billions of dollars of U.S. weapons? Primarily South Korea, Iraq, Saudi Arabia and Qatar.

Leaders of the world's number one exporter of war are upset that a potential future target wants to defend itself.

The next president is likely to be a sociopath, with a love of war. The US is heavily arming Iran's aggressive enemies and Iran is the sociopaths' number one target.
