Why would Trump care? The money's not going to him...

These contracts had been suspended by the Obama administration because of Saudi Arabia’s military campaign in Yemen, which caused the deaths of thousands of civilians.

Oh.

 

[capitalCORN]

The war in Yemen is Houthis and former president Saleh vs Hadi goverment and Arab coalition


What came out of it though is the revival of the South Yemen state and a possible road map to independence, accidentally.


Of course this is a over simplification but we might likely see a North and South Yemen again.

Whatever happens democracy seems to have failed. I just don't see an amicable future. None of this should have started again. Although there's breath the traditional south is mistreated by the north.

As.long as there are homeless vets or homelessness in general in the U.S., this is theft. There's no stopping the military industrial complex.

Would you rather S.A. buy weapons from another country that might further muddle relations in this region? Do you think if the U.S. refused to sell that S.A. would not want to protect its borders anymore and just give up?

 

[OG Shaka Zulu]

Wait I am confused

How is selling anything considered theft?

They are gaining money not losing it... this isn't aid to Saudi Arabia, rather the Saudis buy US equipment at a premium. (some times more then 3X the original price.)

You're right, misinterpreted as aid.

 

[Oersted]

I told you some things like the missile defense system, etc.. was put on hold...

While F-15SA, helis, ammo, etc... was not

This current package is the missile defense system (which was on hold) and Navy equipment and ships.

I believe you are confusing this with the types of munition freeze that the Obama admin did.

I was able to critize the deals by the Obama goverment.

I am able to critize the deals by the Trump goverment.

You are not. Okay.
