WEBVTT 00:00:00.500 --> 00:00:03.000 Excessive military expenditures 00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:05.380 have contributed significantly 00:00:05.540 --> 00:00:08.360 to the national debt of many developing countries. 00:00:08.660 --> 00:00:12.000 No doubt: Between armament and hunger 00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:15.000 does exist a long denied correlation. 00:00:15.200 --> 00:00:16.840 Everyone who knows 00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:19.040 that in the Third World sheer poverty 00:00:19.200 --> 00:00:23.380 forces many million people into the overexploitation of nature, 00:00:23.680 --> 00:00:27.000 who knows that the deserts grow, 00:00:27.160 --> 00:00:31.500 and the tropical rain forests are radically cut down, 00:00:31.660 --> 00:00:36.480 can not abdicate his share of global responsibility. 00:00:36.780 --> 00:00:38.480 I don't know 00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:43.000 if the Europeans will understand this early enough. 00:00:43.300 --> 00:00:45.540 But I know one thing: 00:00:45.700 --> 00:00:48.020 If they don't understand it 00:00:48.180 --> 00:00:54.520 there will be no suceessful European perspectives either.
