Abstract: In this study we seek to capture a deeper relationship between US military aid and the levels of violence in the world, what we term as “instability.”
Key sentence: This confirms the notion that as conflicts arise the US acts in a manner of sending military more military assistance purportedly to lend a helping hand. But as table 1a describes, with more military assistance the US actually exacerbates the conflict.
