The State Department announced on Saturday that it would lift a three-year ban on selling certain weapons to Saudi Arabia, allowing some $750 million worth of bombs to be sold to the Saudi kingdom within the next few months.

“The deliveries will include 3,000 Small Diameter Bombs and 7,500 Paveway IV bombs, which have been on hold since President Biden halted the shipments in 2021 over Saudi Arabia’s punishing war in Yemen,” the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday.

Joe Biden didn’t reverse anything. He was let out today to play president.

“We’re mobilizing the whole country effort to cut American cancer deaths in half by 2020,” Biden said.”

My thought is that Biden doesn’t seem to know what time it is.

Who, actually, did the ‘reversing’ of this?

This may be somewhat of a bribe to delay the inevitable alliance with the BRICS+ and keep them selling their oil in American dollars for a while longer - at least until November.

Biden-Harris foolishly told the Saudis we hate oil and we are going green. In other words we don’t plan on being a very good customer in the future. China tells them they will buy as much as they can supply.

Biden-Harris, with Treasury Secretary Yellen fully engaged, weaponized the dollar to such an extent that the East and so-called Global South are scrambling for an alternative currency and payment system in case they someday get on the bad side of Washington.

China (a supposed enemy) has greatly benefited from the Biden-Harris-Yellen policies.

To recap, these arms sales might be an olive branch. Just my guess.

“Joe Biden didn’t reverse anything. He was let out today to play president.”

I agree 100%.

And the folks that are running the show are the worst among us.
