Senate votes down resolutions aimed at blocking $23B Trump arms deal to UAE

[Jean-s]

Splitting mostly on party lines, opponents fail to convince majority that Trump is rushing sale of F-35s and Reaper drones to nation involved in devastating Yemen bombing campaign
The US Senate voted to reject a pair of resolutions on Wednesday aimed at blocking the Trump administration’s planned $23 billion arms sale to the United Arab Emirates in the wake of the Gulf monarchy’s peace deal with Israel. Splitting mostly on party lines, opponents failed to convince a majority of 50 senators in two procedural votes that US President Donald Trump was acting hastily before President-elect Joe Biden takes over next month to bolster the UAE, which has been heavily criticized for its role in the Saudi Arabia-lead offensive in Yemen.

Children of Yemen cowering in fear at bombing

The USA is guilty of causing the deaths of innocent Yemeni children because the weapons used to kill them are being sold to the Saud Family and the Emirs if the United Arab Emirates. It seems to me that when American arms merchants sell weapons such as war planes then how they are being used must be considered a moral responsibility. The Republican senators are doing their wicked evil right up to the last days of the Trump administration.

They must have received some of the billion that bailed out the foreclosure on Jareds failed 666 fifth street property...

Forget all the bullshit they are feeding you. It’s about the security of our first line fighter from being compromised by China.

The UAE is determined to advance its strategic partnership with China. Either way the UAE and China are getting too chummy. Let them buy Chinese tech so we can compromise theirs.
