First Saudi Arms Sales under Trump Admin

[PoppyCorn710]

Do you not realize that the Saudis are the largest state sponsor of Islamic terrorism in the world?

I thought Heir Trump was supposed to put an end to funneling weapons to states that sponsor jihadi terror

The bold is disputed, breh. The US state department lists Iran, Sudan and Syria as state-sponsors, not the Saudis.




They have fukked up in Yemen, they don't know what they're doing at times and they definitely aren't doing a good enough job but they ARE fighting terrorists.

I mean the heads of AQ only listed our support of Saudi as a reason of declaring war on the US but okay.




What was the name of your banned account again?

I'm an adult, I don't go places I'm not wanted.

Anyway, so now the heads of AQ decide who we sell weapons to?

 

[PoppyCorn710]

The Saudis suck at fighting...Should Trump refuse to arm them and let the Houthis cut a path all the way to Riyadh...what would that accomplish

Yemen would like to have a word

From thread The REAL Lord of War (Hint: It's Obama)

Republican sells arms to US allies: "Damn straight! 'Merica!"

Democrat sells arms to US allies: "Can't believe he would do that! SAD!"

You stupidly fail to secure your perimeter and some sandal wearing goat herder climbs up and throws a grenade down your turret killing your whole crew and turning a 6 million dollar piece of equipment into a desert animal habitat.

Who else uses the term "state-sponsor"?

"State Sponsors of Terrorism" is a designation applied by the United States Department of State to countries which the Department alleges to have "repeatedly provided support for acts of international terrorism."[1][2] Inclusion on the list imposes strict unilateral sanctions.

So now the people who created the term aren't the arbiters of who is or isn't a state sponsor of terrorism?

Let's look at the facts: Saudi Arabia is not a state sponsor of terrorism. Saudi Arabia is trying to kill terrorists in their country and neighboring countries. The US has sold them weapons going back many decades. The Saudis are ON record saying they are "optimistic" about Trump's position on Iran and ISIS. From Reuters:

Jubeir said the interests of the world's largest oil exporter were aligned with those of the United States, be it geopolitically - in Syria, Iraq, Yemen and Iran - or on energy and financial issues.

"The objectives we want to achieve are the same. We may have disagreements on how to get there, but we don't disagree on what needs to be done, and that will not change," he said.
