I’d love to blame this on Obama, but this sh!t has been going on for decades.

Disregarding the cherry-picked data, Turkey (NATO ally), Saudi Arabia, and the UAE can purchase arms from anyone in the world. It is in our national interests to sell them our weapons rather than have them buy them from the Russians, Chinese, France, etc.

There are plenty of advantages that accrue to us when they purchase weapons from us. They include jobs, lower unit cost for our military, and leverage over the buyers in the form of repair parts, training, etc. And it is worth remembering that our export weaponry does not have the same avionics and other technology that is used by our military.

There are plenty of Congressional restrictions on what can and cannot be exported. "This sh't" is good for our strategic national interests. We are competing against the rest of the world. The idea that we should unilaterally stop selling weapons is nonsense.

The leftist article is full of misinformation and distortion. It is crap.
