Why would they not be buying American equipment? Bribery anybody?

That’s interesting. You might have also noticed that the US dollar is going down and that some US defense contractors and overseas clients might get happier with that. :-)

Somebody in DC needs a kick in the can.

Why shouldn’t the Saudis buy from us, since we’ve been protecting their worthless asses for all these years?

If the Saudis had US made copters and tanks, we could co-ordinate any ground defense of their sandbox much more easily.

And we could have had a way to recycle those petrodollars back to our shores.

But no—these useless camel humpers have to go buy non US arms—and from our budding enemy and former enemy, Russia.

We’ve had 34 years to make ourselves energy independent and look at us—importing more oil than ever.

The Saudis should be returned to their traditional past—as eternally wandering nomads in the desert. Whio needs friends like these?

bkmarked, Thanks.

That is one mean mofo. Carries a squad of troops to boot.

The Saudis probably get a lot more bang for the buck buying the Russian tanks. But for aviation, I think they should go more to the French offerings, save for the Mi-35.

The Mi-35, we should buy a bunch of those. They will do the job of the V22 for a whole lot cheaper, and most likely, more effectively.
