Obama sells $60 billion in arms to Saudi Arabia

[Thump553]

Ok, Obama is a muslim hired by the Saudis who bought stock in Fox so Obama would make a big deal of the mosque and drive up Fox's viewership while not selling the Longbow to Israel but was bribed to make the arms deal to the Saudis by Murdock.

It's perfect.

Close, but no tinfoil theory is complete without tying in the JFK assassination.

Nobody see's this as supporting a dictatorship or arming a Terrorist nation?

Morals get quickly thrown out the window when you can make a buck

See, a democracy elect politicians, these are supposed to be the best of the best, the best we have to offer to lead our nations with regard to what is best for the nation and the people

GWB, Tony Blair, and lesser office holders.

Here is how it works. The politicians are for their respective parties. The public comes next. That is true of Democrats and Republicans. I've never lived in the Utopian land where politicians who are elected serve to lead. Neither have you.

dictatorships are there to do what is best for the dictatorship, same with the king of SA.

See "politicians and parties"

You do realise that you still pay more for less care as a nation, right, that you pay more tax money per capita than France or the UK for health care and then you have insurance costs that are three times that to even get the care anyway... There is no denying that the health care system in the US costs four times as much per capita as other socialised systems whle providing care to less people.

Really? Four times? We're higher for sure. Let's take Canada. They spend about 10% of GDP on health care. We spend 40%. Well no.

What you fail to take into account are several things but I'm going to ask you to explain what the differences between the US and Europe which might be responsible for the differences. I'm curious to see what you really know.

We can go on from there.

Terrorists do not typically employ UH60s or F-15s. That would cross the line into conventional warfare. Plus, do you really see any hostile nation other than Russia (or possibly Red China using copied / stolen Russian technology) gaining air superiority in a conflict by use of aircraft?

We control the spare parts and know the weaknesses of the weapons we sell. When one of the other middle eastern dictators was overthrown (Shah), we were able to gimp their fleet of fighters we sold them since they did not have access to said spare parts.

The export version of the F-35 is being built in Turkey.

 

[ConstipatedVigilante]

We have armed practically every nation on Earth. The only difference is whether we sell them our old weapons (F14s) or our new weapons (F-35s).

You know, now that some of the leaks are out I wonder if Obama made the sale to shut them up about Iran.

 

[hal2kilo]

dont we have a arms deal with Pakistan? not a terrorist nation?

How else are you going to support the military industrial complex. Got to sell arms to both sides so they fight each other, start wars, so we can sell more, rinse, repeat, wash.

That's all we really have anymore as far as profit making manufacturing.

Should be some kind of motto in this.

Sounds like we're pitting them against Iran as a military power.

Except that Iranians have balls and Saudis don't, they expect brain-washed American Rambo-wannabees to bail them out and die for them if Iran decides to one day attack Saudi Arabia.
