Meet the New Boss....Same as the Old Boss. ($650 million missile sale to Saudi Arabia)

One may not like the messenger, but this just shows that both sides are actually the same side. Saudi bad.....BUT, we need to sell them missiles.....which is really just protection money as the Saudi AF aint very good.


The best part of this is watching Trump and Bidens opinions. Biden poopoo'd Trump on selling stuff to SA, but Biden said he would not sell anything to them because of Yemen and that Kashioggi fella. Yet.....we just sold 650 mill of missiles.

This just shows that the MIC and other big corps are really in charge.

This one thing should be enough to convince everyone that there is no actual differ because between parties.

I'm yet to see anyone defeat Russell Brand in a debate. The few haters I've seen are usually just other YouTubers, jealous of his popularity.

Thanks for sharing.

Weird.

Weren’t they the ones that were complicit in 9/11?

Oh well. Nice Who reference. Savvy application here.

You would hope this would open peoples eyes, but somehow I doubt it, to many people are entrenched in "my guy good your guy bad" BS, care we must take when believing ANY politician as they ALL line their own pockets first and foremost and could not give a snip about you or I.

If you defend any politician then the war for your mind has already been lost, you are their sheep ready to argue with your brothers and sisters on their behalf. The politicans get paid handsomely (via taxation of the workers) and then some of those taxed workers will then work for free (giving up time with their own families) and promote their masters, its ludicrous.

As Brewster so rightly said

I don't know what people expect, nations are gonna sell arms, If we don't sell to the Saudi's some other countries will.

Not to mention till Joey gets his "green jobs" cranking and we aren't in the highest inflation in 30 years, anything that eliminates any jobs probably needs to be put on the backburner for a while.

Sad but true.

Unfortunately, I don't think Obama's third term gives a hot sh!t about the American economy.

When an arms deal to a terrorist sponsoring regime is the closest thing to prosperity for an economy then you know things aren't good.

The intent! The intent must be completely different, from the seller I mean, so that makes it okay.

This is the new logic; it doesn't need to make sense if you feel good about what you did...

While both parties may have troubled leadership, it should be clear that there are vast differences between conservative and progressive/liberal ideals. The people on the ground may not have a party representing them properly, but there are very clear differences.

Very right. Previous president prime example

2017 United States–Saudi Arabia arms deal

n May 20, 2017, U.S. President Trump and Saudi Arabia's Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud signed a series of letters of intent for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to purchase arms from the United States totaling US$110 billion immediately,[1][2] and $350 billion over 10 years.[3][4]

You can take the history of US arms sales back to the 1700s at least

True and agreed.

Essentially, nothing new or exciting.

Saudi Arabia is the biggest funder and supporter of Islamic extremism in the world.

That we in the UK and USA dance to their tune is as big a stain on both our national reputations that can be.
