These is this interesting story i came across in of the Soros books....
When Israel (armed with US weapons) fared relatively badly in the Yom Kippur war against the arabs (armed with Soviet weapons).... Jim Rogers theorized that US will massively increase defence spends and bought a bunch of military arsenal companies.....
And sure enough he had a winner.
Now...due to our security situation ... we just increased our defense budget by 30% despite an economic slow down...
But the problem is most of this money will probabily go to do imports and probabily it's not clear who the beneficiaries of the "local partner" clause will be.
