The real harm of the global arms trade | Samantha Nutt
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 сер 2024
- In some parts of the world, it's easier to get an automatic rifle than a glass of clean drinking water. Is this just the way it is? Samantha Nutt, doctor and founder of the international humanitarian organization War Child, explores the global arms trade - and suggests a bold, common sense solution for ending the cycle of violence. "War is ours," she says. "We buy it, sell it, spread it and wage it. We are therefore not powerless to solve it."

I commented 6 years ago that semantha mutt should be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize and her Ted talk is even more urgent ‼️ nowl
The problem for mass starvation and murder is out of control governments. Not guns. Prime example: the US is very good at destabilizing governments and selling them arms.
wrong again. Births outstripping food supply is the only problem.
@@satancherny3010 are you joking?
With all due respect, those companies that build these weapons make them for military, law enforcement, security, and some civilians. They don't make them to be sold to Somali pirates. Shipments can be intercepted, weapons can be taken from the dead, the black market obviously exists....
which is why it's a risk that shouldn't be take as these countries don't produce firearms so all the fire arms they have are imported if you want to help send in the a military force

I'm just saying. Stuff happens. People are going to find ways to kill regardless of if it's legal or not, with a gun or not. I do agree with her points on education and healthcare, but the guns are a method, we need to fix the motive.
I agree, I work for an arms manufacturer and we've never sold to ISIS, yet there is one of our products in the hands of that terrorist.
Sending weapons is a poor excuse for support, but sometimes it's the best you can muster. Now, if asymmetric total war resulting in genocide wasn't frowned upon, we could solve a lot of the current problems by creating new ones.
The data shows that the US/Russia are the largest EXPORTERS - They export the arms to sell (mainly on an open market) to the highest bidder. Even if they were regulated transactions, guns will not be destroyed after use, rather they would be either sold off or taken by any means. The example she gave was that the US gave guns to the iraqi army and once ISIS took control of certain regions there, they were used for their own demonic purposes.
This breaks my heart... Very clear strong speech!
May we become civilised enough to choose PEACE instead of un-nesseary suffering of weapons and war!
AND for the first time in history we have the ressources to actually stop this insanity!
STOP selling WEAPONS, everywhere domestic and abroad!
My heart goes out with compassion to you and all that suffer from this...
"There are 500 millions firearms in world wide circulation. That means there is one gun for every twelve persons. The problem is: how are we going to arm the other eleven?"
Joking aside, those people in the video think global gun controls could keep the population safe. However, bad guys always get guns and the innocents have no means of protect themselves. The people can't trust their own government since the government can be dictatorial and commit war crimes. The 2nd Amendment has it purposes, use it.
War is ours.....We buy it, sell it, spread it and wage it. We are therefore not powerless to solve it.
Dr. Samantha is Awesome
I got it! Require water purifiers on all new weapons manufactured.
Good on you, so much respect for what you're doing.
this is one of the most important TED talks. SHARE IT!
GUNS ARE SOLD TO BOTH SIDES OF THE WAR, BOTH SIDES ARE SUPPLIED BY THE SAME PEOPLE OFTEN!! the problem is not guns, the problem is the LOVE OF MONEY!!!
exactly
Controlling guns is a somewhat achievable goal. Stopping love of money... not so much.
And actually the love of money can also be part of the solution: e.g governments can give gigantic amount of fines to companies selling guns to questionable buyers. Or threatening to close their production altogether.
WeActOnImpulse Official people gotta live.
greeeeeeeeeeed
We all need to realise our common purpose. Everything else is just a distraction.
Without any personal objection against people expressing opinion, I believe all of the information she gave were overstretched. There are way too many variables to take in to really see the whole picture of arms trade. You can't just classify them into "legal trade" and "illegal trade"... If you see life hundreds of year ago, weapons are basic needs, you cannot take them away from people. If you do so, you are taking away their freedom and right to defend themselves.
How long did she actually spend in Somalia? I would bet my last dollar that it was a very VERY short stay.
"almost 20 years doing aid work"
+Adi aid work does not mean that it was all in Somalia.
TED is awesome
Why wasn't Iraq/Syria highlighted when she showed a map for current places at war? 5:52
I know you are right, but if we START to set the intention to STOP wars, weapons and fighting... THEN perhaps eventually we as Humanity will succed! What you do is awesome! May you be happy, healthy, strong and safe, always!
Thinking that taking away the tool will make the beast less savage is a fucking pipe dream, lady.
+Jan Jappie Ukelele wow, and you think IM a fool. ok.
+Jan Jappie Ukelele good luck with your life then.
War is a criminal disgrace. Sadly it is normalised in this world we live in. If you havent see it yet, please see the one i made in 2012 about war. Simpy just type in this...........War is not heroic
I am very thankful of Samantha Nutt , Its very crucial for us to facus on global arms trade , to save our cosmos , thanks again
While reducing small arms in conflict areas is a worthy goal it wouldn't have a very large effect. The main weapon in the Rwandan genocide was the machete and people have commited massive slaughters with primitive weapons for a long time.
Anarchy by virtue of tribalism what's causing the suffering in Somalia, our goal should be order and the creation of a strong state.(No idea how)
Do not forget to ban machetes, and penises and fists and... Because holding people accountable would be the wrong thing to do.
Only if the government is pointing _their_ rocket launchers at us.
***** I live in Sweden but ok. Here the criminals already have rocketlaunchers grenades machineguns etc. I cannot understand why because they are all banned. It is almost as if they do not follow the laws?! And that it only stops law abiding people?! Strange.
***** Good for you then.
***** Not relevent.
well said
lol try stop the Russians and Chinese from selling arms xD
majority modern ppl living in the peaceful zone. they are unlikely to have the chance to experience war like the lecturer did. then, their experience firmly affect their thinking mode. they become selfish, pursuit money. one word to describe, stupid. ppl don't know what does war mean to them, ppl don't know how peace is cherished. perhaps to experience war is one of the most effective way to teach those ppl how you should think about n' do to the world.
I bet she was also protected by those with small arms and very glad for thier protection when the threat of death was real.
Yup. you won't hear her talk about that
The threat of death from all the weapons sold to poor people by rich people? Yup. Spent on arms, not food. There’s the core of the problem.
"Easier to get an AK than cheap drinking water". Somehow I have a hard time believing that.
ITs very real right not south Africa's supply of water is very limited research it.
Depends on where you live, right? Think about it…
You would think that someone who spent that much time in such an environment would realize it's not the sword that does the killing but that hand that wields it. War is not caused by weapons, it's caused by men.
Weapons give those men the power to bring chaos and the more weapons you trade the easier for them it is to do even more. Everything made easier for you will make you do it more often.
Rocks are weapons too...as long as people are unhappy or pressured or enslaved they will kill.
and, in fact, standing on the top of the Empire State Building or similarly high point, a single dropped pebble can kill a person..put a hole right through their head. It wouldn't take a genius to go up there at rush hour with a backpack full of rocks......
Think clearly about it. Killing is ridiculously easy if you really want to do it. Go down to the local supermarket, take a walk down the vegetable aisle...what's protecting that? A little cyanide or something would go a long way in a situation like that. You know a train can be derailed with just a railroad spike...imagine your bullet train in Japan at rush hour doing 320KPH getting derailed by some crazy guy...a piece of metal and 1000 people dead.
All i'm saying is that it isn't the guns that kill...people kill. blaming guns is like blaming the highway for killing, what, 50,000 people a year just in US alone...for being a hard surface? Is it the hard surfaces' fault they all died??? I don't think you can say that.
Beautiful, informative talk.
excellent speech
Is this a John Oliver episode? A treaty at your senate, go budge your senator to pass it.
amazing speech!
wait .... what .. algeria is a war torn country .?! ... where did she get this data from ...????!
Lord of war resumed in 13 minutes
Make it illegal to produce tools of murder. How is this not obvious? Make non lethal means to subdue so as to prosecute and punish through legal justice, not murder.
you don't get how war OR the economy works, do you?
Kazuya Mishima Ha exactly
***** Have anything substantive to say?
Long ago when the Europeans explored Africa I firmly believe the non-interference directive should have been inactive. If it was then all of this would have easily been avoided.. It's probably too late now.
10.- for an assault rifle! I spend more for lunch every single day where I live
the truth is bitter
Shocking 😢😡
Lmao nutt
it warms my heart that this was ALMOST the first comment on this video.
Just 4 years ago these comment sections looked very different.
Nothing like a good Nutt
I hope she names her child Buster.
@@jon816 yes
Countries of UNSC contributing indirectly to war in these poor countries is really sad!
Good points good content. I could have done with out the lack of perspective: not only does she admit the argument steams from fear (making it irrational) but she’s leaving out the historical aspect as well; by some miracle, if we did keep rich countries from destabilizing and arming impoverished countries, Somali pirates, for instance, would use chinese machetes for ten cents a piece like in Rawanda. The fact of the matter is we don't have violent tendencies like robbery, or war because we have guns. We have guns because we have violent tendencies. Ergo, we have to take steps out of anticipation of inherent human behaviour (visa vi robbery) to defend those in Somalia, not from the government officials doing the destabilizing and arming, but to promot the civil liberties of the individual.
Deaths rates increase from conflicts, could be caused by higher number of conflicts, not higher value of sold wepons. But that is to consider only if number of conflicts are higeher or not, and I don't know that. But it is worth to keep in mind, that it is not certain, that high death rates are from high value of sold weapons. Maybe the two are coused by one other thing(like numeber of conflicts maybe), not one by other.
War, War never changes...
This is so true
inspiring
Ms. Nutt Good presentation and Failed to highlight the depth issues behind this illegal arms trading...
first question that comes to mind when i think of starvation deaths: how did you end up there? well...you would probably have to be born there. correct? next logical question: how where you born there? am i right?
What was with those graphs? She lined up two arbitrary Y-axes and said "look how well these line up!" Well, of course they lined up, you lined them up.
"There are 500 millions firearms in world wide circulation. That means there is one gun for every twelve persons. The problem is: how are we going to arm the other eleven?"
Joking aside, those people in the video think global gun controls could keep the population safe. However, bad guys always get guns and the innocents have no means of protect themselves. The people can't trust their own government since the government can be dictatorial and commit war crimes. The 2nd Amendment has it purposes, use it.
The amount of opinionated low knowledge loud mouths commenting in Ted talk videos is astounding.
Is there a shortage of people on this planet? Perhaps it's time we supplied more short-range weapons.
start with self hating moron liberals. easy targets.
loved the speeche but didn't got the mad max reference
Always remember the origin of these conflicts, it was western colonism, not local people nor weapons.
why don't have vietnamese
Lol she's not going to do a damn thing....theres too much many to be made off war.....now if you'll excuse I have to go buy more stock in H&K and Izhmash
Don't forget about Colt, Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics, BAE systems.
subtitulos en español!!!
the speaker is cute :3
she needs a history class on the cold war . NOW !
😂
I found this talk to be rather Nutty.
Man, if I have nutt as my lastname, I would churn out my most attractive and intelligent eggs and spread this lastname to everywhere
Hmmm...this talk is simplistic and certainly draws on emotions with the already deceased baby. If the guns weren't there machetes and spears would be. The civilizations that are pointed to in red have been engaged in conflict for centuries due to tribalism.
Two teenagers armed with AKs holding a women for 2 days to gain but a couple of cents?... sounds like current day Mexico.
Or any place in south America, middle East, some parts of Asia.

And how do you propose to stop arms trade? oh, that is right, by men with guns.
"There are 500 millions firearms in world wide circulation. That means there is one gun for every twelve persons. The problem is: how are we going to arm the other eleven?"
Joking aside, those people in the video think global gun controls could keep the population safe. However, bad guys always get guns and the innocents have no means of protect themselves.

Bunch of countries with small arms? Someone needs to fix their arms!
MA GAD
The real harm of the global arms trade is that it allows cat ladies the opportunity to pontificate on matters about which they are completely ignorant.
I appreciate the sentiment, but this logic is flawed. Humans were killing each other in droves long before firearms. A spear will kill you dead just the same as an M2 .50 cal heavy machine gun. Africa and the middle east were plagued with violent wars over territory, resources, and ideologies long before the introduction of firearms. The only thing firearms allows is for people with inferior physical statures to be able to participate in an impactful way. You wouldn't see 8 yr olds with melee weapons or bow weaponry participating. But you also wouldn't see people who are grievously outnumbered capable of making a stand against a foe that they might have a been unable to defend against without their automatic rifles. And on a side note, even if every country highlighted in green in this video never sold or produced another firearm, the ones already in circulation would last a very, very long time. These groups of belligerents would still have access to the resources necessary to maintain their weapons and produce ammunition, it's really not that difficult if you know what you're doing. What needs to be done is addressing the root causes of these conflicts, not the medium they are presented in. This is the fundamental flaw in all anti gun rhetoric.
So , nutt, what happen if we don't want to give woman a advantage. Personally I think that we should treat them equally.
Wow. Hot take there, ya fuckin' cretin.
So we're all going to ignore that terrible joke she opened with? Ok, just checking.
lol
I had the impression that everything was rainbows and unicorns do you realize what a victim I am now.

Was waiting the entire time for her final point. Guns are bad. More liberal PC crap TED keeps bringing on lately.
The Bible tells us man gets more proud, hard hearted and wicked as he gets richer.
God exists and knows all hearts and will render to each person according to their ways.
Humanity is unrighteous and the problem. Man rejects his Maker who is righteous and Holy.
Israel becoming a nation was the start of the last generation. Jesus will return to rule the world after the 7 year tribulation/judgment/krsis. The Bible is all true.
This is a very manipulative speech with a joke of "statistics" to back up huge conclusions.
Ted needs to stop being political and go back to its roots of being educational. Unsubscribed! L😕
