I take it you were one of those people who thought that selling AWACs to Saudi Arabia was absolutely "essential" to our victory in the Cold War?

Selling AWACS to Saudi was a standard way of dealing with allies. We also sold them advanced fighters and trained their pilots. Such actions helped prevent the takeover of the Kingdom by enemies. Saudi also has the same kind of port facilities the gullible have gotten so excited about.

Plane sales were beneficial to them and us but have no relation to this display of backstabbing the Party of Treason is leading.
