The Obama administration has quietly forged ahead with its proposal to sell $60 billion worth of fighter jets and attack helicopters to Saudi Arabia unhampered by Congress, despite questions raised in legislative inquiries and in an internal congressional report about the wisdom of the deal.

The massive arms deal would be the single largest sale of weapons to a foreign nation in the history of the U.S., outfitting Saudi Arabia with a fully modernized, potent new air force.

We've been selling them shit for decades. Blaming Obama for arming the main counter to Iran in the region only highlights your own ignorance.

As long as we include remote self destruct system why not.

Make a shitload of money, and if they turn against us with a press of a button they all go boom.

I'd worry if the Saudis sell our stuff to the Chinese or Russians.

Is this thread just to be filled up with garbage, and the other one is for serious talk?

Given what this thread is about, serious talk belongs in neither.

Besides that, I don't think they need the money.
