US Greenlights F-35s for Saudi Arabia After Decades of Yemen Bloodshed
President Trump, according to CBS News, announced in 2017 that the U.S. would sell sophisticated F-35 fighter jets to Saudi Arabia, just before Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's White House visit. This wasn't just a simple arms deal; it was a green light for continued devastation. The mainstream media paints these sales as strategic partnerships, never mind that Saudi Arabia has been accused of
war crimes in Yemen by organizations like Human Rights Watch, using U.S.-supplied weaponry since 2015. Weapons manufacturers like Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and Raytheon have reaped billions from these 'partnerships,' while the U.N. estimates the war in Yemen has killed over 377,000 people, mostly civilians. The F-35 deal, ostensibly to counter Iran, instead empowers a regime with a
documented history of using advanced weaponry for regional destabilization and internal repression. So, when CBS breathlessly reports on these 'deals,' remember whose pockets are getting fatter, and whose populations are getting flattened. It’s not diplomacy; it’s an arms bazaar disguised as foreign policy.
