ABC News Reports Saudi Bombs Yemen, Omits US Role in Arming Both Sides
ABC News reports on Saudi Arabia bombing Yemen over weapons from the UAE, painting a picture of inter-Arab squabbling. What they won't dwell on, of course, is that both Saudi Arabia and the UAE are among the largest purchasers of U.S. weaponry. The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) consistently ranks the U.S. as the world's leading arms exporter, fueling conflicts across the
globe. This isn't just about regional tensions; it's a multi-billion dollar arms bazaar where American-made F-15s and precision-guided munitions ensure continuous demand. So, while ABC highlights the drama of who's bombing whom over whose weapons, one might ask: whose profits are truly being protected? The ceaseless cycle of violence isn't a mere accident of geopolitics; it's a lucrative business
model for nations that sell the tools of destruction, then wring their hands over the 'complexity' of the resulting carnage. It's almost as if the war machine needs steady customers, and a bit of regional instability generates excellent sales figures.
