I think Saudi Arabia being, y'know, Saudi Arabia is bad enough without throwing in that "Chinese ally" thing lol.
Sorry for calling again but could you please paint "DEATH TO AMERICA" on the jets? We got those new hangars and don't want to make them all smelly right away.
monarchist nation build on slave labor, that murders political dissidents, queer people and indigenous groups? yea, that's probably bad or whatever idk, ~~i mean we did all that too and we're the good guys yknow~~
chinese ally???? now they've crossed a line!!!! 😡😡😡
You seem to have repeated yourself a little bit there. Minus the monarchy.
Even that is getting close with trump basically acting as a king
Kind of ironic too because as evil as they are, SA are absolutely an American ally as well.
But an ally ideologically (until trump). Previous governments just supported them because of oil.
It’s not just the oil, and this is kind of the key point. It’s also the defense contracts. SA is a huge buyer of American weapons. So the back door deal making has always been a thing. Selling them arms has always been a thing. There’s actually almost nothing that SA and the US agree on ideologically. Of course Trump inserted his own interests into the picture and found a way to enrich himself, and that is truly a new low, and utterly despicable. But let’s not knock him for giving arms to the Saudis as if that’s some new thing. Look, he’s arming a Chinese ally! I mean, come on.
Saudi Arabia isn't going to reverse engineer an F35. China will reverse engineer an F35.
You’d figure a bunch of racists that spent the last twenty years crying about shariah law would a few very specific problems with Saudi Arabia.
It's never stopped the US from selling them modern-for-the-time F-15s, their advanced versions, and other advanced weapons systems. Or Europe from selling them the Eurofighter Typhoon.
I'm not saying this is the same or not a horrible decision full of corruption. Just that SA has been a longstanding strategic ally that has received a lot of military support from Western countries.
