But while this is a thought-provoking topic, Star Wars + debate kinda makes me queasy, and this has been discussed in length many times before. In fact, it was part of Hannibal's crash and burn into banning.

The United States, Russia and France being republics.
Britian being a Constitutional Monarchy.
China being a Military Capitalist Dictatorship.
I would just like to point out that dispite their types of Goverment, the United States, Russia and China are the largest suppliers of world weaponary. Since they are permament members, they can do anything they want, ironic, that the UN is run by constant abusers of human rights. (mainly china)
(this is not an attack on Slade but rather just some usless info I know)

the US; who only joined in at the last minute because they hadn't decided which side they wanted to be on?
Russia; who stole plans for nuclear wepons from the US and started a slow drawn out arms race, and handing out the plans to every enemy under the sun.
China; who armed two countires with whome the US went to war.
France; who supplied the battle grounds for WW2
no inclusion of Australia, who were in there fighting the whole time.
no mention of india who were difusing all the bombs and mines fro the british
no mention of holland who hid a majority of jews from the nazis
the big 5 who won WW2 indeed.
a bunch of late starters and communists.... bah.

I would like to say that this is technically wrong... but its more than technically wrong there are top 8 in order:
1. United States- $18,500,000,000
2. Russia- $4,600,000,000
3. France- $4,400,000,000
4. United Kingdom- $1,900,000,000
5. Germany- $900,000,000
6. Canada- $900,000,000
7. China- $700,000,000
8. Israel- $500,000,000
As you can see, China is not one of largest, infact they only just manage to make it into the top 8. If we want to be really technical, we can see that numbers 2 to 8 make just under $14 billion between them, so America makes around £4.5billion more than the next 7 largest suppliers. In crack terms, this is like the guy on you're corner competing with Pablo Escobar (when he was still alive).
Infact, China and India are the biggest arms IMPORTERS.

There are groups there that are doing something about it but some corrupt businessmen sent them death threats and told them that the pollution "does not concern them."
Well it would if they fell ill from the effects.
I wonder how much percent does America play a part in owning manufacturing plants there?

Although the main reason for that is becouse China is a bridge between the West and Middle-East.
How the hell did Israel get in 8th place!?

Edit: Poor punctuation fixed!
What's funny is... You still have poor punctuation (you are to let the period of the abbreviation double as the end-of-sentence period), and you misspelled "sources."

I'd guess because it has a very active military and receives billions of dollars in funding for its country from the United States each year. They get free stuff, and then make a whole lot of their own.
