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.
First, I am not aware of the Saudis giving any weapons to the Syrians. Second, yes we do set conditions on our arms sales and we do more than just wag our fingers. Cutting off spare parts and training are options. We can also limit future sales of more advanced equipment. We did sell the Saudis AWACs aircraft, but our personnel are riding onboard.

The Saudis are not our enemies. We have had problems with the Israelis selling our arms technology to China, more of a threat and enemy than the Saudis.
