Si vis pacem, para bellum (If you want peace, prepare for war)

If you aren't ready for war, you get conquered by a war monger. If you want to be at peace, you must be ready for war against those who want to conquer.

Are you implying a country whose economy depends on arms sales wants peace?

No, I'm saying that a nation that wants peace still needs to be ready for war, or they end up like Ukraine and are invaded. Ukraine is lucky that there are nations who supported them, because they gave up a lot of their defence for nothing. I didn't mention any specific nation.
