Finally, we found a buyer!

We're actually pretty good a producing and stockpiling armaments, but we're not very good at hanging on to our gold.  With this deal you can move a whole shitload of guns out of the USA, and move a bunch of coin into the USA.

Seriously though, this deal is about moving a bunch of planes and missiles and guidance systems onto the Arabian Peninsula (Al Jazirah, as they say in Arabic).  Sarcasm aside, this could actually be the first smart national security move that President Trump will make.  At this point I'd have to say that I'm for it.

Shouldn't there be a limit to arms sales? This seems more than excessive, even to the point of unusually dangerous.

So, will these arms be:

A) turned against America and its interests by a religious fanatics
B) used to kill women and children as Saudi Arabia wages war on it neighbors, or
C) used to start a globally unpopular regional war that hurts the world economy?

Again, guys, there are a million great reasons to hate Trump, why pick ones that are silly?


Every President sells weapons to these assholes (or other assholes).

If there is 1 country which deserve to not be sold weapons for spreading radicalism around the world for decades, it's Saudi.

These arms will go into fighting a bloody civil war in Yemen where millions will die & will also end up in the hands of ISIS & Al Qaeda as well because Saudi literally spend huge resources & money to build up the teachings of fanatic groups around the world which will spread a more radical & twisted version of Sunni Islam .

This country doesn't take 1 refugee & had the gall to offer Germany to build mosques for the refugees !

Because one of the few possible upsides of a trump Presidency is that he would reverse generally terrible things held sacrosanct by the us establishment, and he doesn't even do that.

Besides it makes him a massive hypocrite, but he isn't alone there I guess.

I'd rather the US sold arms to Iran tbh (Reagan.txt).

Course ideally the US would halt all arms sales to the Middle East. And yes, that includes Israel.

I'd go one step further and halt them period.

I have no problems with this. I don't like the KSA but they are a key ally.
