President Obama is selling billions of dollars of weapons to Saudi Arabia. Interestingly, Obama also decided to cut our defense to save money. Selling arms to Saudi Arabia is a sort of act of war on Iran and their economy.
On the surface, this arms sale seems to help Saudi Arabia stand up against an evil power in the Middle East. On the other hand, why cut your own military if you are involved in an act of war against Iran? The plan is also to keep Iran from selling oil and crippling their economy. Some experts believe the price of oil will skyrocket to $250 a barrel.
My question is this: When has selling weapons to a Middle East country ever helped the US? We gave/sold weapons to Afghanistan and they used the same weapons to kill American soldiers. We sold weapons to Iraq and said weapons were eventually used to kill American soldiers.
Likely this deal will turn around and bite our country in the behind. It always has and it always will. With this act of war, one would wonder why a sensible President would cut the US military. This is why I am writing this because I wonder if this President thinks before he makes decisions that affect us all.
