He may approve the sale but it is complicated beyond normal FMS processes.
I agree this is crazy complicated, and likely several at SSCI and ASC will try to influence a block.
However, with Moscow and Beijing expanding out like crazy across the ME, AND *Moscow having constructed advanced SIGINT and ELINT ufacs across Syria, with others now complete or under under construction in western Egypt, Eastern and Central Libya, an now in Eritrea (north of US Navy in DJ), which are now providing cover for Iranian backed Houthi in Yemen (to strategically weaken and threaten Saudi Arabian pipeline plans through Israel to the EU), and with Moscow now fielding its own S-500’s in Syria, providing cover for high volumes of previously Iraqi stored CBERN (emphasis on deep stored CHEM) from central Iraq, and Moscow now facilitating Iranian uranium enrichment in Syria, and now NATO being more marginalized in the Eastern Med (and Suez) — there may be enough motivation at SSCI to facilitate Trump’s effort at “peace through overwhelming fire power”.
The world is headed toward a real and hot WWIII, regardless of what everyone wants to know or believe. Deterrent is the only short term fix.
