US Sells F-35s to Saudis While Israel Cries 'Security Risk'
While mainstream outlets focus on the 'complex' geopolitical dance, the real story is simpler: the US military-industrial complex keeps feeding the beast. In 2020, as this deal was taking shape, the Saudi government (yes, the one bombing Yemen) was set to receive an $18 billion arms package under Trump, including these very F-35s. Meanwhile, Israel, which received $3.8 billion annually in U.S.
military aid , objects to a sale that still lines US pockets. It’s a convenient theater of conflict, ensuring perpetual demand for F-35s on both sides—because nothing says 'peace' like advanced stealth bombers in the hands of regional powers. This isn't about security; it's about profit margins and control. The US greenlights weapons sales to regimes with questionable human rights records, fuels
regional arms races, then feigns surprise when the resulting instability becomes... well, unstable. The hypocrisy is so thick you could cut it with a BGM-71 TOW missile, generously provided by American taxpayers, of course.
