US President Donald Trump has just handed the despotic Saudi Arabian monarchy a ten-year lifeline by signing a $350 billion arms deal with a regime facing simmering calls for democracy......

And as we learned with Iran, Iraq, Egypt, Libya, Syria etc. despots in Islamic nations, are better than the alternative.

Unless you are in for another round of naïve democratic nation building with them.

So you are fine with continuing Obama's arming of Saudi Arabia and multiplying it 100 fold even though, we now have hindsight knowledge to know what they do with that?
Example:  http://www.wnd.com/2015/03/hacked-emails-saudi-money-financed-benghazi-attack/

And now we know they are already rushing to make arms deals with North Korea?

At least I'm not the one defending the continuation and expansions (100 fold) of Obama's policies.

Why would Saudi Arabia supply North Korea with arms after North Korea sold the missiles that Yemen has been shooting at Saudi Arabia?  I think this is just a load of horse manure put out to by Little Kim.

Arming allies like Saudi Arabia makes a hell of a lot more sense than arming our enemies like ISIS and Iran!
"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

No one is .. in case you also missed this, President Trump is undoing the polices of the Obama administration.

I hope you understand that @AbaraXas
