Iran does not like that.
Saudis have not really been a friend of the USA during the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
I hope those offensive weapons explode on delivery.
There is a fucking world war brewing and we need every ally we can get.
Yeah, a bit late now that the ban on weapons exports has allowed the Houthis to gain strength to the point that they’ve shut down the Suez Canal by spamming everything that moves with anti-ship missiles.
Maybe, just *maybe* pandering to that side of his voter base has consequences.
I’m sure we’ll never regret this.
Like it or not the US is not a hegemonic power. And right now Russia and China are more than happy to ignore cultural and systematic differences to secure allies. Honey catches more flies than vinegar. We must continue to do this.
The people responsible for funding the most deadly terrorist attack on the US? Interesting move.
A real life example of Realpolitiks.
So we give them our smelly weapons with curse words written on them
Of coarse. That makes sense. Sell weapons to whomever has loads of money,no matter what the consequences are, or who they plan to kill with them.
Blinken Biden Bombs for Bonesaw Bin Salman
Still waiting on the ICC to press charges against MBS, oh wait, they’re on their payroll.
Axis of evil
Offensive weapons? I guess that means Dave Chappell is going on tour to Riyadh
Like that won’t backfire when the transition from oil doesn’t go smoothly…
Like 9/11 they will end up in our enemies hands like before.
My hunch is the Biden administration is cutting a deal to get the Saudis to increase production. Its really stupid politics but it definitely helps on the international level to have more guns pointed at Iran.
sure why not, what are they going to do fly a couple planes into a buildi….oh shit nvm.
What can possibly go wrong since there is proof parts of the gov supported the 9/11 hijackers https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2024/05/september-11-attacks-saudi-arabia-lawsuit/678430/
The cycle of war continues. War needs weapons, and what better supplier than the good ‘ol US of A.
Hold on, since when there’s a ban?
Just sell the shitty weapons. For when the day comes we have to fight against them.
Gone are the days of only selling weapons that had clean sets
Damn.
Khashoggi lookin down like wtf. RIP
Biden finally coming to his senses.
Too bad it took him 3 years as well as the Houthis launching attacks on US ships.
Not surprising the arms industry powers the US economy
Offensive weapons, as in dildos and vibrators ?
Another example how consistent we are with the ruthless dicatorships lol.
It keeps on being funny how the news is telling us about evil psycho putin. Meanwhile we arming the saudies, putin is an angel next to those jihadi’s.
The life of a journalist with US citizenship doesn’t matter more than opposition to Iran. It’s sad, and I hate Iran. Rest in Power Jamal Khashoggi!
WHY. Couldn’t there just be one time that money doesn’t come before decency in DC?
Petro dollars
Pay off for not making too much of a fuss over Israel.
Where are the college protests? Saudi Arabia is killing hundreds of thousands in Yemen. But Qatar cares about what Israel does more, so it won’t be reported.
