Unlike corporations that sell to consumers, Lockheed Martin and the other top contractors to the US Government are highly if not totally dependent upon sales to governments, for their profits, especially sales to their
own government, which they control - they control their home market, which is the US Government, and they use it to sell to its allied governments, all of which foreign governments constitute the export markets for their products and services.
These corporations control the US Government, and they control NATO. And, here is how they do it, which is essential to understand, in order to be able to make reliable sense of America's foreign policies, such as which nations are 'allies' of the US Government (such as Saudi Arabia and Israel), and which nations are its 'enemies' (such as Libya and Syria) - and are thus presumably suitable for America to invade, or else to overthrow by means of a coup. First, the nation's head-of-state becomes demonized; then, the invasion or coup happens. And, that's it. And here's how.
Because America (unlike Russia) privatized the weapons-industry (and even privatizes to mercenaries some of its battlefield killing and dying), there are, in America, profits for investors to make in invasions and in military occupations of foreign countries; and the billionaires who control these corporations can and do - and, for their financial purposes, they must - buy Congress and the President, so as to keep those profits flowing to themselves.
That's the nature of the war-business, since its markets are governments - but not those governments that the aristocracy want to overthrow and replace.
The foreign governments that are to be overthrown are not markets, but are instead targets.
Comment: Just like 'humanitarian intervention" ie. starting war to "help people", globalism is not what it purports itself to be. See:
