The Saudis can buy their arms from any country in the world, e.g., the UK, France, Russia, China, etc. The competition is fierce. Selling arms to the Saudis helps the US in many different ways. Besides giving us leverage in how they are used, economically the sales create jobs in the US and lower unit costs to the US military. We would be fools not to sell arms to the Saudis.
lol.... Right. so next time Saudi gives American arms to Damascus we can wag our fingers at them and they will listen? Your argument is that since our enemies are going to get guns anyway, that we should be the ones to supply them, and at a bargain price as well. Throw in some free training on our most advanced weapons systems and what could go wrong?
sheesh,, if in a few years Al Quadea has ballistic missile systems and the training to use them, it will be because of thinking like yours. The funny thing is, it’s happened before, and we still don’t learn.
