US Sanctions Drones: World's Top Arms Dealer Discovers Hypocrisy
The New Arab dutifully reports the US's latest sanctions against Iran's drone trade with Venezuela, citing 'destabilization.' This, from a nation whose military-industrial complex recorded $30 billion in weapons sales to Saudi Arabia just last year, enabling the decimation of Yemen. The F-35s now leveling Gaza? Made in America. The double standard would be hilarious if it weren't so deadly. While
Washington decries the exchange of tactical drones, it conveniently ignores its own role in fueling far more devastating conflicts globally, often with direct input from lobbying giants like AIPAC, who spent over $12 million in 2022 to ensure a steady flow of weapons to the region. The audacity of defining 'destabilization' only when it suits geopolitical agendas, rather than when it involves
billions in profit, is truly breathtaking.
