Here's who buys the most weapons from the U.S. - CNNPolitics.com
Ummm....WHY???
Why on hell's half-acre are we selling so much to everybody else???
Is it purely capitalism?
Is it all about the money?
Seems truly odd that the USofA seems so friggin frightened of being invaded by everybody out there, yet we'll sell weapons to just about anybody out there who wants them.
This kind of crap is going to bite us hard one day.

Ummm....WHY???
Saudi Arabia was the top recipient of American-made arms from 2011-2015, followed closely by the United Arab Emirates, according to research compiled by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), which has been analyzing international arms transfers since 1968.
The rest of the top 10 included Turkey, South Korea, Australia, Taiwan, India, Singapore, Iraq, and Egypt.
